Please take me off any commercial filters (in terms of you trying to sell me stuff).

Please also take me off any twitter filters.

Thanks!

I've never got any ads/spam through live journal, is that what you are talking about?

Or I have a "Plus Account" account that displays ads on my blog in return for some extra features is that what you mean? I also use the Adblocker extension with my Foxfire browser so I don't actually see any of the ads myself.

No. I'm discussing people posting long posts routinely involving their commercial enterprises. These are friends selling things I am not going to buy at events to which I am not invited and which I could not attend even if I wanted to. I'd just rather not see the posts.

Hm. Sounds like cut tags could be the simplest for the folks that desire to do something like this. At least thats my off the top of my head thought.

If they're posting and trying to make a sale, basic marketing would preclude the use of a cut tag. It's irritating, but it has been proven numerous times that irritating practices make people buy.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe that's my politeness getting in the way of marketing... :)

[guppiecat]

And that, right there, is a big reason why I'm good at making companies run well, but would be utterly useless at actually running my own.

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Yes. Cut tags would be fine. My LJ-curmudgeon-ness used to bug people about that. :)

Did I tell you we're selling Amyway products? ;-)

[born-to-me.livejournal.com]

Hey, *I* would buy... just as long as no one tries to get me to sell. That's always the rub with Amway. I want the products, but I don't wanna sell it!! ;-)

Amway's a family joke. My wife used to be a stock broker and has nasty things to say about some multi-level marketing schemes. ;-)

[born-to-me.livejournal.com]

Right. I knew you weren't serious and I figured it was a joke... just had to toss in my own WAH about MLM.
