Description for Copywriting forum wasn't immediately clear and lead to an infraction.

    The description of the forum reads: "If you are offering or looking for copywriting services, please use this forum." The "this forum" is hyperlinked, however I am colorblind and didn't notice. I thought it was telling me to use "this forum" for posting looking for a copywriter.

    I suggest that you change the wording of "this forum" to "the BST content creation forum located here" or something to that effect.

    Good suggestion. You can hyperlink both "this forum" and "the bst content creation forum" then why not go with the latter.

    Many people have actually been confused by this word "this forum". If you check the copywriting forum, you will see many threads for buy/sell services... Wording or color change could definitely help.

    Thanks guys. And just to clarify, I am a forum owner and hand out infractions all the time, so I know how annoying it is when members freak out about getting an infraction. I understand that infractions expire and since I usually follow the rules, I'm not worried about anything at all regarding the infraction. I don't even care if you remove it, just letting you guys know that the description could be better worded to help avoid confusion and future misorganization.

    Good point - and if the masters of the English language get confused then there is little hope for the rest of us!
