XmrBazaar (beta)

I sincerely hope that the staff consider not allowing ads for the market to be posted here in the forum otherwise this entire form is going to turn into a spam section for Ads.
It will be like dread but with out the DDoS issues.
Agree, Disagree?

Agreed, since we are suggesting, maybe even prohibit obvious use of AI generated content. As in content that is not enhanced by AI but just SLOP.

I don't mind ads IF they allow poor people a voice too. For now "Unlock BBCode, image posting and signatures by donating 0.05 XMR or more" seems good enough.

I definitely agree. I'm not a fan of ads and never have been. It's the same ads pretty much across the board on the darknet, the same shitty gifs, most of which are complete and utter scams. I would much rather have the forum be supported and funded by the user base instead of turning the user base into a product. We have enough of the latter on the clearnet already.

Personally, I loath affiliate links on top of that, such as the ones you find on Monerica. I'm fine with a directory having affiliate links in addition to clean links to give the user a choice, but to hide the affiliate links by making the text seem like a clean link is a major dick move. I absolutely despise any form of dark patterns or deceptive design.

I think if one wants to advertise in the forums, the best way is through the user signature. The post itself should be relevant to the conversation. It would encourage people who want to advertise in the forums to contribute to the discussions often so their signature is seen more often.
