Suggestion Taken!!!

Ok, I know how much all of you do not like the new Sponsered Link thing, but that is not why I am here. I am here because I want to talk about some suggestions for the Sponsered Link person.

1. The Sponsered Link member can stay
2. The Sponsered Link member must NOT be an actual administrator, but rather a "Guest" who posts the ads with the name of "Sponsered Link"
For Example Something like this:


That way it really does not interfere with all the other people who have the changed images. What i mean by that is like for my forum, i have made all the admin stars each into an Admin Badge. So when the Sponsered Link person posts, then they have three admin badges and that looks really odd. So I was just hoping for this person to be a guest.

This will benefit everyone for two reasons, SMF For Free will still get his ads that he wants and we do not have to change around all this programming on our forums to accomodate. Also another reason this is good is because it will help to make it seem like we just have a Guest who likes to post ads rather than having a crazy admin (with three badges) who goes around only posting ads.

What makes the arguement about the guy being a guest is even more powerful by the fact that this person is not even a registered user on our forums, so it is even more awkward when you have someone who is not registered, is an admin and then also posts ads all over the place.

@SMF For Free - Please just make the Sponsered Link Person a Guest rather than a "Admin" with three admin badges. You still get the ads you want, and we (including members of the forum) get the piece of mind that we do not have a crazy admin in the staff!

Thanks for reading!

THANKS FOR DOING THIS!!

I would like to thank SMF For Free for reading this and taking into account what was said.

He has changed that poster into a random post, so it looks like it was just an ad rather than a poster! That is an even better idea than what i had so thanks again!

The forums performance was not affected by these ads.

He added them for extra revenue...running this service is not free you know. In order to afford this service the ads needed to be added.
