David... I disagree. The whole point is to look at this as deeply as possible so that a solution can be developed. My impression of this community has always been that it is a "two way street". To close it would make it one-way.<br />

Personally, I believe that community standards can be set..... a generalized model of accepted behavior. Then, if the community has accepted it as a whole... each member can help police the community. Call it an online "neighborhood watch" program. In this way, members can be held to standards they have agreed to. Those standards can serve the needs of many. It just requires imagination and creativity to work up the "rules" of the game. We all know there are consequences when we break the rules. But, if we don't know the rules... we resent the community when we are held accountable for something which was presumed instead of agreed to.<br />

I hope more folks can admit that they are here for their personal gain. Isn't that why we all "work"? If I'm perceived as selfish.... just remember.... what I have to give can never make it out if I don't survive. I preserve myself so that I can do what makes me happy; Give to others. Sound like a play on words? Well... that's up to the reader, eh?

You are whacked Jimmy. Listen to what everyone is saying: their only goal is to build the collective. No one is pursuing personal gain. At least not as a primary aim. Shame, Jimmy, on you.

Not very welcome... to be sure. That's why I suggest a standard be set... so that nothing is assumed. Introduce everyone to the standards upon joining.... then, if they decide to violate the rules.... they can't plead ignorance when they are unhappy with the consequences.<br />
<br />
I think it will also help others come out of their "shell" because they may feel liberated knowing a bit more about "how" to get what they want. To be clear... I'm here for my benefit. If my being here can benefit someone…

I think it will also help others come out of their "shell" because they may feel liberated knowing a bit more about "how" to get what they want. To be clear... I'm here for my benefit. If my being here can benefit someone else... then I've contributed to the group... willingly. That may not be the "PC" approach, but, in my opinion, it's honest.... and, in my own community, I expect members are looking for what they can get before they are looking for what they can give. So, if we show them how to get what they want... they will set up shop and give to get. (speaks back to the content is king truism).<br />

Thank you, Josh. I appreciate the reply.<br />
<br />
I think your second paragraph is very clear. And, I think your input, along with others providing feedback, will maybe help create a community standard which JD (as decided by JD for obvious reasons) can introduce every new member to so that they can understand quickly. They will also not be able to plead ignorance when they are held accountable for their actions. But, they will understand what is "appropriate" within this specific community and can…

They will also not be able to plead ignorance when they are held accountable for their actions. But, they will understand what is "appropriate" within this specific community and can decide how to conduct themselves for the benefit of themselves and the community or the community and themselves (whichever order you prefer).<br />

Discussing actual business models for social communities would probably detract from the intent of this string. As appealing as that discussion may be for me.... I'll have to join you on another string for that one. Thanks again for the post.

I do have a response to your quote "Activity breeds activity and activity and good content attract new members..." I totally agree with you but...look at it from another perspective.<br />
<br />
Say, the new person on the site. How much good content have they seen so far? And how welcome do they feel when they have been Spammed 4 times?

Jim, I decided to post a reponse to you out of respect for your feedback request.<br />
<br />
To your request for feedback, I think you have got it right in your comment, "<b>Common sense and common courtesy</b>." See, common courtesy to me isn't to bombard me with garbage ads on my personal profile. If you want to market it me, you can do it 3 ways: 1. Place an ad that I may click on and potentially buy your products/svcs. 2. Put on a free webinar in which I can gauge interest and potentially purchase…

To your request for feedback, I think you have got it right in your comment, "<b>Common sense and common courtesy</b>." See, common courtesy to me isn't to bombard me with garbage ads on my personal profile. If you want to market it me, you can do it 3 ways: 1. Place an ad that I may click on and potentially buy your products/svcs. 2. Put on a free webinar in which I can gauge interest and potentially purchase your products/svcs at the end, or 3. Build your brand in such a way (through posting and contributing) so that I can see what you're all about . . . and then potentially buy your products and services. Yes, there are other ways, but those seem pretty reasonable to me - common courtesy, if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Jim, if I were presenting to a group, I would suggest that the way you build the community (and the boundaries/rules you set up) comes down to the issue of sustainability versus aiming for a quick buck. And in that sense, it all comes down to the exit strategy (i.e. I could inflate membership with a 'by all means necessary' approach . . . and then sell it off once it reaches a critical mass . . . OR I could build a network the right way and aim for long-term sustainability. It's all relative to my exit strategy and business agenda.)<br />
<br />
In looking at the exit strategy and objective first, then I don't think there is a 'right' or 'wrong', a 1 or 0, an 'on' or 'off'. It's all relative. Hey Jimbo.

Hey Jimbo. I read your page. Didn't join because I'm not sure if you want me to as I'm not in the med or pharma line.<br />
