Comments about the PM about Thunderstruck 9 Teaser

Why? What is so bad about it? Are 30 seconds of your life so valuable? Crap, you just took 30 seconds of my life right now. I am getting sick of these silly posts about PM's from admin about crap..

Problem is, we don't send you an email telling you about a post, and you're not required to do anything (though, obviously you feel it necessary to respond to anything that might in any way disparage the glorious Christopher).

You just don't get it, we don't have any desire to hear what Christopher thinks, likes, or is doing for summer vacation.

It doesn't matter, he's getting what he was hoping for. "mr. Burns" would be proud.... eeeexcellleent!! :face-icon-small-hap

well 30 seconds of our life does have an impact in one way or another...but in your case ..well 30 seconds...30 days..30 years..the impact i sometimes feel is probably negligible:face-icon-small-hap

nope, just find the constant complaining annoying.. you guys spend more time complaining about these issues, then the amount of time it takes to just deal with them, let alone forget about them.

I can tell by all your "thumbs down" of most of my posts that you are way to involved in this topic. Why is that? Why is this so important to you?

ummmm, but the question again is why are you posting in here then? you seem to be getting quite involved in this topic yourself, why don't you just forget about it?

sure this issue could just be forgotten, but then do we just let every issue that comes up slide with out telling the powers at be know our feelings on the matter. it may not be what why were hoping to hear but it's still our opinion

Sadly, I have nothing better to do. I guess it just interests me why people could get so angry about this.
 
Thoughtful post - thank you. :)



As an avid snowmobile movie watcher and someone who anticipates the teasers that start this time of year I can appreciate how you thought it would be a good thing to send this out to all your members.

As a new sled video producer but very experienced business person with years of sales and marketing experience I am fully supportive of why this shouldn't be done by a person in your position UNLESS it is something you are prepared to do for all vid producers and possilbly even all promoters of product on your website. It was a very well-intended message and I don't believe there was an intent on your part to promote TS unfairly. I love Jim's films and have a great respect for him in the industry. I thoroughly enjoyed his recent teaser, but found it on the forum threads like most other peeps do and where all other teasers are posted and perhaps where your support should have been shown. My initial thought when I got the PM, was "awesome, maybe we can now promote Sledbetties on SnoWest even though we're not a paid advertiser" and "I can't wait for Christopher to send thousands of PM's out when our teaser is released!" Probably what most producers are thinking. It's a very competetive market and lots of peeps work hard to get their product noticed...they are really going to appreciate that you will offer this service to them too! :face-icon-small-hap

The fact that nothing is for sale, no offerings are made in the post referred to...no commercial activity per se does not exclude that it is the promotion of a product/company regardless of whether something is offered for sale at the time or not. It's a commercial entity that makes the teaser and movie to follow, it has the name of the series and the production company and has corporate sponsors...it's promotion of a commercial product and marketing for future sales. It would only NOT be promotion of a commercial entity if it wasn't a commercial entity behind the product, it's not determined by what is for sale at the time. There are lots of vids for sale, just not the newest one. To say it wasn't unfair promotion of a commercial product as this particular video isn't for sale yet when there are so many previous vids as well as it's very obviously a commercial entity perhaps isn't a good argument.

So while you're promoting a teaser that you really liked and that many of us will...you are SW admin supporting a commercial entity in a way that appears biased as it's the only mass PM sent through SW promoting a product of a company (that isn't a paid advertiser? -I think that's what you said earlier) Promoting any product perhaps shouldn't be done by mass admin PM's UNLESS it's something you're going to offer to all. Big can of worms when you think about how much commercial support you get from paid members as well as how many producers there are who need exposure. Perhaps you could allow producers to 'register' with you to do mass PM's for all their teasers when they are released. :face-icon-small-ton

I really appreciate your intent and am eager to promote Sledbetties through SW :) I hope that you can see why this is a touchy subject for some and that you'll look carefully at personally promoting businesses or products via your SW admin status in the future or set up a system that's fair for all.



Thanks for moving this out of Jim's thread...this is a good topic for discussion on it's own. Hope you appreciate my 'comments' not 'complaints' :face-icon-small-win

You really think it's just this?

And irritated would be a better word. Like when a six year old starts telling you the life story of their cat...

I didn't know you two had such a close relationship that you feel the need to defend him every time he sticks his head up his...

heck no, any new opportunity that comes up you take advantage of it and state how it is all stupid, worthless, a waste, not fair, chris is doing a horrible job. It is just a continuation of your belief that things are so unsatisfactory.

And irritated would be a better word. Like when a six year old starts telling you the life story of their cat...
What is your normal response to the six year old? If she brings up her cat at a later date, does it bring up all sorts of anger and emotions like you stated above?

I didn't know you two had such a close relationship that you feel the need to defend him every time he sticks his head up his...
You got it wrong.. I am not defending him.. I am against people continually making arguments against every little thing that he does. It just gets old after a while. It just seems like anytime chris does anything, there are 20 guys waiting to point out how stupid it was.
