PbP Post moved erroneously?

[Archer5280]

Hello.

First, I'm new here, so first I'd like to say, Hi. (I've lurked on and off for a long time, but I've just made my first post.)

Second, my first post was an ad for my free, non-commercial play-by-post site, pbphouse.com. A moderator apparently moved that ad from the Players Wanted board to the Publishers & Press Releases section. I believe that someone may have misread or misunderstood my ad. The ad is here:

pbphouse.com is a free, non-commercial site for play-by-post games. Several of your moderators (Keia, Bobitron, Brother Shatterstone, maybe others), as well as a number of your members, are actually members on the site and I'm sure could vouch for it. I placed the ad in Players Wanted because there is an ad for a similar site in Players Wanted here:

http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=196567

I wonder if a moderator could please consider moving my post back to Players Wanted, or at least provide an explanation as to why it belongs in Publishers & Press Releases? Again, this is a non-commercial site, and I'm not a publisher.

Thanks very much.
Douglas

See what happens when your first post is an ad?

Welcome to non-lurking! I'll let our esteemed PbP moderators address this, since I'm not sure what the policy is in the Players Wanted forum.

Ha. As a site admin, I can totally identify with that statement. I'll try to be more social in the future.

That'd be great. Thanks.


(One correction to my earlier post: I mentioned 'Bobitron' as a moderator. I think I was misinformed on that point. I think he's an active member, but not a mod.)

I'm not sure who moved it, aside from that it wasn't me. Archer is correct that similar threads have been posted in (or moved to) Gamers seeking Gamers, and it's been our policy that PbP recruitment for other sites should go to Gamers seeking Gamers rather than Talking the Talk. The forum has a PbP category for exactly that reason. This looks like PbP recruitment for another site to me, so it should fit.

Great. Thanks for the attention on this.

However, I still see the thread in Publishers & Press Releases, rather than Gamers Seeking Gamers. Should I repost in Gamers Seeking Gamers? I definitely don't want to spam the boards here. I'm just trying to get the post in the right place.

I'll slide it over.

Thanks PC! I'd have moved it myself, but unless I've been stealtily added as a mod to the Publisher forums, I have no power over them.

Looks good. Thanks again for your help in straightening this out.
