Advertising Ban on the G+ Page? Jul 29, 2014 22:54:54 GMT -8

Can we have one please D.T. Pints? I logged on this morning to find news in the G+ group only for it to turn out to be an ad that has nothing whatsoever to do with the con and I have to say I found that quite annoying. That's not what that group is for, at least in my mind.

I'd like to see something like "No advertising other than for con games in this group please. Nothing personal but ads will be deleted." added to the bottom of the group description. What do the others think? Agree, disagree?

There are some folks who join groups and then spam them. It's happened on the Happy Jacks G+ page too. Several posts got flagged (which makes them only visible to the moderators). I noticed them, then checked the person posting them, and he was sending out similar posts to dozens of other groups. I banned him.

If you flag it, DT (who I think is the moderator there) will see it.

Gillsing: Interesting fact about a movie that put me to sleep the first two times I tried to watch it at RPG cons. The third time I managed to stay awake, and was disappointed. Everyone seemed to like it so much. But apparently it was not for me. Story of my life. Sept 24, 2018 2:57:52 GMT -8

Provinto: I was thinking about asking something about GLOG, but then I realized something: It says OSR on the can, but it tastes like Hippy Game Oct 9, 2018 3:49:10 GMT -8
