what are you talking about? are we having the same conversation here?

2+2 sells ads, therefore any ad that i put in my location is taking away ad revenue from 2+2.

Maybe we aren't having the same conversation. I think it hurts very little and is out weighed by other factors. I'm not sure if you don't think these factors are enough or if you just don't think they exist.

i think mason should send me a check for $10,000. it's such a small percentage of his net worth, i just don't think it hurts him a lot at all, but it would help me out.

If you raise the price in relation to demand, it will be far to expensive for coaches like me to buy the higher slots as I don't charge anything close to 100/hour.

so basically, for 2+2 to make money (which is the point of this exercise), we should raise the price in relation to demand

sorry Leader, mat & mason's goals here are not the same as yours.

So the latter. I disagree.

Re: chaostracize\'s loc: - out of my jurisdiction
 

All,

Does it really hurt anyone to let people put stuff like "coaching" there? I actually think it's pretty reasonable for 2+2 to allow people to have a little free ad in their profile. The amount of respect/value that ad receives will probably mostly be directly proportional to the contribution the posters make to the site. I think this is one of those scenarios where there's no real downside to giving members a free 40 characters or whatever of promotion.

Re: chaostracize\'s loc: - out of my jurisdiction
 

As I said, I have no opinion on this objectively, but leader, that's a poor argument saying that it's unfair to the smaller coaches. Your coaching rates do not matter here.

Re: chaostracize\'s loc: - out of my jurisdiction
 

we don't have any restrictions at all on profile information. the question is whether a location should direct others to go there.

I think the location should simply be removed.

or are you suggesting ads benetah the users name?

Re: chaostracize\'s loc: - out of my jurisdiction
 

mat, i think a lot of people like the location, and it's fun. i dno about trashing it. mostly i have a problem with the idea of there being a difference between "coaching" and "pm me about coaching." whichever way the policy is, i think that it should treat those two things the same, because they are.

Re: chaostracize\'s loc: - out of my jurisdiction
 

Mat,

I think just about any policy you make would be fine here. I was just saying that I don't think it would really be a big deal at all if policy was that it was OK for locations say stuff like "see profile for coaching info!" or whatever type of mini-ad. And, in fact, it could even be positioned as a nice little benefit the site gives to people in exchange for their contributions.

I don't know. I'm imagining a bunch of locations saying I give x% rakeback. I'd rather allow people who have something to promote to say "check my profile" than to have them advertise something beneath their name.
