Attitude toward other technical forums
Thread Content
Here is a good website for piping design and stress analysis software: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-433738-2-1.html. There are definitely more technical forums out there than just HaiChuan’s. There are many various professional forums. What should be our attitude toward such posts? 24# llljq: Industry users can request a forum registration invitation code by sending an email to pipingsoft@pipingsoft.com. The main purpose of the forum restricting regular users from registering is to prevent non-industry members from posting spam and advertisements. I hope for your understanding. Industry users can request an invitation code by mentioning simple information in their email, such as your professional background, that can prove your qualifications. However, be aware that a non-technical posting (spam post, advertisement post, etc.) can cause you to lose the permissions you already have, or even result in your account being deleted. LLLJQ Jingqi is an administrator of this forum and possesses high professional competence. I don’t think it’s necessary to delete such posts as ads. Appropriate competition is a good thing for every forum.
I support the views of the chaotic moderators: academia knows no borders, and there should be no narrow, parochial thinking; it is best for everyone to learn from one another and draw on each other’s strengths. After all, popularity cannot be created through coercion.
Reply to 1# strongerlihe: This issue should be viewed dialectically. I think that if it’s just a simple post of the type “I recommend a good forum related to XX, WWW.BBSXXX.COM”, then regardless of whether that forum is good or bad, it should be treated as an advertisement post. And if it’s to provide assistance, and our forum doesn’t have relevant content, or if other forums have more relevant content, then it’s perfectly fine to share a link.
Such promotional methods are treated as meaningless posts or ads in all cases; if they contain links to personal promotion accounts, points will be deducted. As for how to view this, I think by looking at a post promoting Haichuan on their forum, one can understand how they treat us. Some websites are so afraid that they won’t even allow the characters for “Haichuan” to be used.
I agree with the station master’s view; friendly links are acceptable, but such advertising is not.
Business competition is fierce; valuable technical links should not be used as advertising, only pure advertisements should be suppressed.
