Evianers Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Understandably, there are rules and regulations pertaining to any forum and one simply has to abide by them. But as other forums [fora?] permit the advertising by persons seeking gainful employment, why not this forum? There must be a valid reason. Could the mods please explain why?

Clair Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I believe it has to do with the "NO ADVERTISING YOUR OWN SERVICES" mentioned in the forum code of conduct.The forum is owned by Archant, who publish magazines which sell advertising and I guess they prefer to receive some form of payment in exchange for publishing adverts.

As said, other forums allow this, it's a pity EF do not. Would love to find a stimulating part-time occupation.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I realise this is slightly dodgy territory re the t&c's but I can't help but agree with Evaniers to some extent - simply because you can advertise a vacancy here (something which would cost money if advertised in the mag') but not ask for a job. I do get it Clair, but there is a bit of a double standard at play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
