Goldfish Field Report - Part 3 Options

[HappyBuddha]

Once upon a time in RG field report of goldfish sighting was popular.

For some strange reason they went missing for quite some time leow.

Seeing some of you are begining to file your field report again (in another topic), I've re-started the field report thingy.

Have fun.

Disclaimer: The reporter shall not liable for accuracy of his report since good fish comes and goes quickly. Don't yell at him when the fish you want is no longer available. Past experience showed you need to be at the reported LFS within hours of posting to score.

I was just passing by the shop... My SG friend bring me there before. I see many friends here interested in Ishikawa so I think I should let those who missed the last batch know about it.

Anyway, how do i differentiate from commercial posts? I see quite a few "commercially-related" pages "closed" beforeb so I was worried I might have done something wrong too.  

Sorry I supposed this is directed at me but I did not read this so I didn't reply earlier.

Well, so long as you're not representing any LFS or farms or any commercial entities, most posts with regards to info on new shipments of fishes will go through.

Why is RG so adament on restricting commercial advertisement?

Firstly, RG was initially set up for pure goldfish discussions. It is a "web space for goldfish lovers".. so we have meant to make it more like a forum for HOBBYISTS. We do not welcome commercial entities hiding under the wolf skin of sharing knowledge of goldfish keeping or "helping hobbyists", but in actual fact doing so for the good of their commercial agenda.
Furthermore, we do not gain a single cent from these LFS/commercial entities making use of our forum for advetisement. So there is no reason why we should allow these people coming here to use RG as free channel for advertisement.

But of course we can always have a sub-forum specially for LFS/commercial entities for them to do their advertisement. That's where they can advertise until the cows come home. They can perform their "Dragon-Slaying 18 stunts" of advertising or wield their "dragon sabres and heavenly swords" on potential customers. yes we can... But they will have to pay for such privilege, of course.

RG can die due to lack of money to maintain it. But it cannot fall due to commercial entities messing aroung in it.
