I see a lot of threads like these in Project Development -
Coinsbee.com - Buy gift cards with about 50 crypto currencies! -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182163.0 Ethconomy.io - Buy Everyday Goods and Services Using Crypto at a Discount -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193584.0directBit.org - Buy bitcoins easily and super fast! -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193180.0I am curious as to what the staff team's opinion is on these threads? If they are allowed to belong in Project Development, what differentiates these threads in such a way that allows them to be posted there rather than in Currency Exchange, Goods, Service Announcements - forums that are dare I say intended for this purpose?
Of course if a staff member comes and says that they in fact should be in different sections, then from now on I'll happily start reporting threads like those mentioned.
Project Development is my favourite section on the forums because it's a good way to find topics that actually interest me, amongst the cesspool of topics created simply to provide an easy opportunity for people to farm posts for signature campaigns. I think that there should definitely be an implicit requirement that if you post there you must actually be
actively developing something and perhaps seeking feedback. It shouldn't just be a way for people to get another thread announcing their finished or even near-finished product.
