What is the opinion of members about this? Is it fine allowing members here to promote or mention competing forums without paying this forum owner or taking his permission ?
That would be some way to put a heavy weight on free speech and by some means promote censorship but, that’s not what Bitcoin is about.
For many, Bitcoin signifies freedom. What would that really mean should discussions and the least things such as freedom of expression be censored in this way just for monetary gains… nope, the forum remains free to air except when it comes to services that tends to bring it in headlocks with the law as we have it with mixers in recent times.
Bu the way, you don’t compete good by placing restrictions on users of a forum against other closely related competitors. It’s an undermining of what you’ve got or is capable of archiving in a highly competitive environment. The focus always should be on what you’re not doing right other than restrictions.
That’s why you can find users on this forum being more expressive and releasing their full potent every time.
