Mike Hughes
Former Board Administrator
This board is primarily to benefit contractors..........and no money changes hands at all.
There are no advertisements or deals behind the scenes. This is the only board where you can freely talk about any product because it is not sponsored by anyone. There are no toes to step on here.
We do have specific sections where we allow vendors to freely post any advertisements that they want. This benefits both sides.
Only one or two of our moderators are vendors..........and I dont think their moderator status is really any kind of advantage as far as selling products. Most just want to help. When moderating, they are not allowed to push their products. Of course, email contact is perfectly fine. Users of the board have the option to decide if they want to receive emails from other members or not (moderators included).
There's a lot less to this then you are thinking. Enjoy.
