Do you allow members to advertising other forums contest in your forum?

[Heatman]

Some forum contest might require getting referrals to win it and one of the best ways to get referrals would be to advertise the contest in another forum and scout for referrals.

Some forum members might want to take this initiative and want to advertise such contest in your forum with the purpose of getting referrals from your site.

If this is brought to your attention, would you allow the advert to be posted or not? If it's posted without your approval, what would you do? Would you take down the post?

If I am in charge of the forum I would definitely allow it, as this is even bringing the right audience to my forum and the contest is doing what I want as my forum would be know to a larger audience.

This is something I would allow. I allow signature advertising on my forum and if people want to advertise a forum with their referral link then I have no issue with that at all. I am all for supporting other forums and forum owners and wouldn't prevent anyone from advertising a forum if they wished to as long as they followed all forum rules in regards to posting and advertising the forum.

If we all have this mindset of supporting each other, then we would grow a lot faster and bring in quality traffic to our various platforms and this sort of collaboration should be welcome.

I don't see any wrong in doing this. IN fact, I believe your forum should be open for admins of other forums as well, this will help you to grow as a community player, and bring a lot of activities.

I don't think the fact that they work in other forums should change anything. So allow people to make the decision of working wherever they like. It's their choice.

I do not have a forum but a lot of people do that and it happens on every forum so there is nothing wrong in advertising another forum on your forum as long as they are not trying to talk about it all the time

Honestly speaking I don't have a forum site for now. However I can allow that by selling an advertising space to whoever wants to make that ads on my site. I can't really allow that just for free of charge.

i also agree with you that people should make there choice on where they want to work, as liberty is something that drove so many people to the online space and they should have it.
