AdminBB no longer allows competitor sites to be showcased

[Kaiser.]

Since we have a large number of FP members showcasing on AdminBB I thought it would be important to post this update here.

This is to let you guys know that AdminBB no longer allows competitor sites to be advertised in our Showcase & Reviews section.

Guideline Directly quoted from our Showcasing Guidelines: "DO NOT create a thread here if your site is a competitor of AdminBB. (For example: Other Admin Forums; Webmaster Forums & Promotion Forums are ok.)"

Our Showcase Guidelines have been updated with more other new rules also, so please read it over @

I would think a competitor site would be a site like yours..but you said promotional forums and web-mastering forums are ok? What do you mean?

What genre of forum is considered your competitor?

Edit- What Chris G said, this doesn't make too much sense. 😀 😛

Admin forums in general are not allowed to be showcased anymore, but if it is a promotion forum or webmaster forum it can be advertised. This is to block the competition from advertising, for example if they have the word admin in the name it cant be advertised. Do you understand now?

That makes more sense. So just administrator forums in general.

Thats exactly what I said in the first post, I just added webmaster and promotion forums are allowed because some people may confuse them with admin forums.

How is it harsh. We should have enforced it from the beginning.

singling out a particular niche and restricting them from doing stuff in your forum, as an admin in that niche it dosnt make me feel very welcome on your site.

Its not suppose to because you are the competition... other big admin forums have this and its time we added it.

I kind of side with TheWizard. 😛

I don't have an administrator forum so it doesn't affect me but the rule does seem a bit harsh. It seems as if you feel threatened by other admin forums. You're forum is doing great and I think this rule would do more harm than good.

That's just my opinion though.

I am not threatened by other admin forums.. if you know business you should know that allowing the competition to advertise in your business is whack, sounds whack also.. If you see other big admin forums like theadminzone.com and adminaddict.com they dont allow it either, and its about time adminbb dosent either. Thanks for your opinion though.

Actually it is back seat moderating... if a staff feels it dosent fit here, they are welcome to close it.

Kaiser, if you feel he's back seat moderating, report it next time. But this doesn't exactly fit here, so use your promotion topic.
