The test I put on threads is: if everyone posted a thread like this would it threaten the lounge? Imagine if we had 10 threads a day of the type "I have a survey, please fill it out". They could be from people looking for exposure to their site, marketers looking to get free market research, spammers looking to harvest emails by seeming to be legitimate CP members just asking people for a hand. Either way a "please go to this site" message doesn't provide the community with interesting IT related news, it's not a funny joke, it's not a question or topic of debate, and it's not a personal thought or musing. It's essentially an ad. cheers, Chris Maunder CodeProject.com : C++ MVP
That makes sense. Tankoo:) p.s. How about putting your test in the Guidelines? That way, the onus is on the posters to be more responsible.
