Dear Traders,

After receiving several reports and requests to have the Commercial posts excluded from the front page feed we ask if you can anonymously vote:
  • I don't want to see these posts in the feed
  • I like seeing the Commercial posts
Please help us by sharing your anonymous vote so we can decide.
Total votes become visible once you cast vote.

Note: The Commercial Section is free and topics posted in there do not pay any fees, commissions or royalties to Forex Station.

Commercial Members are also limited to posting in that section only and cannot send or receive Private Messages.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

I don't see a problem with a commercial section if they compensate Forex-Station. No one is forced to visit there. However, considering it is a place for hawking wares, commercial members need to be required to compensate Forex-Station for providing the area for their business operations.

As for being on the front page feed, again, like other advertising venues, only if they compensate Forex-Station every time they have a listing on the feed. No free ride if commercial!

I have no problem seeing commercial posts in the feed but as someone else said, it would be better if those posts are marked with a $ sign so we can know what's commercial and what isn't. Also, I think that it's nice that forex-station allows free commercial posts because that's a nice service to give to members, however, there should be some limitation maybe on the frequency of commercial posts allowed because I don't think anyone would want to see commercial posts taking over the feed.
