I've always wondered, are tags a mod level permission?
I have a general understanding that it wasn't ever "allowed", just that the rule wasn't mentioned very clearly. Right?
If you offer quality, you'll get the quantity (in orders). The price increase will simply filter out the lower quality link building providers...
So? As a buyer, sometimes I prefer the services from people in third world countries. They're generally more down-to-basics, and cheaper. The first world people, however, know about branding, not just the basic thing of building links to sites. So then you get services like OnTheWayUp's, where it's a package you can build yourself from other services for a third of the price, but because he gave it a pretty name, it then becomes one of the most popular services out there. I think there are one or two things I don't like going with the third world on (think blog networks, quality social bookmarks, new types of link the seller discovered, Web 2.0s where you need to show them to clients) but the third world suits me just fine for the bog standard blog comments, get-the-job-done web 2.0s, article submissions & cheap social bookmarks.In theory it's a good idea, but then you just have all the same low-baller shitty services in one section.
Agreed.Just make it a rule. You can only have a thread in one of those two sections. More than one? Ban.
I think it'd need more moderation than the quality section, but I'm sure if necessary, a few moderators could be found.And then don't have any moderators taking care of the shitty section. No dispute battles, none of that. Let it be a warzone. Let them all cannibalize each other, arguing in threads, copying each other's services, etc... until it dies. Then just delete it...
... or better yet. Just don't have it at all lol

No. I can tag.I've always wondered, are tags a mod level permission?
There has been no change in stance. We were paying thousands to advertise here in 2010. At the time, Josh even rationalized it as "paying back to WF for the success we had" because the ROI wasn't there.I am just pointing to his swift change in stance when it comes to "embrace or die".
I don't use it enough. I go on tagging sprees now and then.Lucky bastard.

As long as he doesn't reveal the super-secret way anyone can get tagging privileges, he should be fine.By revealing this information, you are going to get some many PMs now...
I heard jacky8 can tag too, PM jacky8 so he can feel special.
