Copywriting forum is becoming outrageous

    I can't even visit the Copywriting forum because it is getting more and more flooded with the wrong threads everyday. Instead of talking about copywriting technique, and answering questions that newcomers have, it seems like everyone has made a "Copywriter needed" or "Looking for copywriting work" thread.

    Can we please get a moderator in the board to clean the place up? It has been like this for a good amount of time now.

    The funny part of it is, I was selling my services in the BST category, and someone actually told me that I posted in the wrong spot, and that I should post in the copywriting forum! Ha! :eek:

    Report posts if they are in the wrong section.

    I have, and I'm sure other people have too. It's just that people see these threads and think it's ok, so they keep posting them. I have yet to see a thread locked because of it being in the wrong section.

    Or perhaps it's ok to post for work in this section?

    if it is in the wrong section then it's moved not locked, so you'll never see a thread locked for being in the wrong place :rolleyes:

    There is still no denying the fact that the forum is spammed with work offers and requests.

    Threads are moved all the time, they don't get locked for being posted in the wrong section.

    It's not. Solicitations for services (looking for or offering) should be in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.

    With the amount of new posts each day odds are if a post is not reported it will not get noiticed and moved by a mod. If you notice posts in the wrong section report them and they will be moved (or left alone if the report is not valid).

    Report them.
