What's the general feeling about promotional content on CB? I'm seeing "reviews" that are really just marketing blurbs.
(well, "just blurbs". everything is marketing, right?)

this is a fun one.

I'm not a fan.
CallerNo6
Yeah, they used to be cool. Then they sold out.
ruaok
I see two solutions right off. 1). say: "no promotional material" -tough to define 2) create a no "cannot write about yourself or any band you're involved with". Also hard to define.
CallerNo6 would add 3) label it "promotional".
ohh, clever.
and a filter for "no promotional shit, please".
CallerNo6
I mean, these are being posted by promoters.
ruaok
do you think promoters will correctly label their stuff?
CallerNo6
I dunno. If they're given the option "label it or we'll flag it as spam" maybe?
The ones I've seen are inoffensive. Like Amazon product descriptions.
ruaok
sounds like a good meeting topic.

CallerNo6: if you're not going to be around it's ok but I thought I'd add it to the topic since it sounds quite good to talk about :)
Is there a plan to update them? (please say yes, and no, I'm not volunteering :D )
And thanks for the help! *answers the support email*
