If it is just moving to another site, then why are posters not moving themselves to rural issues? And if they did offer a political site, what is to stop posters from deviating from marketing and continuing to post thoughts of a political nature on the marketing site? What would Saskfarmer do if he could not end every post with a Trudeau attack? Who will police the site to make sure only marketing info is on it? And is local weather conditions, personal yields, or pesticides used truly marketing - I don't think so? So if you are calling for a moderated forum with oversight to make sure the rules are followed, I suspect you will have to have a time out for your last word in your post which I assume you are directing at me./

Post something relevant...once to an ag forum please ..... you and and your band of miss fits

I'm with dml on this. It is a business, I'm sure the owners have run the numbers, and concluded that the current arrangement is attracting the traffic and therefore the advertising dollars they need to be profitable.
Wild guess that Chuck probably generates half the posts on here, not Chuck alone, but the responses to his posts, and the follow up threads. It would be nearly dead without him and his comrades. We can only agree with eachother so many times before it ceases to be interesting without a pot stirrer.

That said, it is possible that the site is missing out on a lot of other potential posters, and former posters who might join/rejoin if there was a place for civil on topic discussion. Canadian agricultural advertising dollars might be much more effective targetting a much wider agricultural audience, than the same handful of posters, many of which don't seem to have any interest in Agriculture, or even Canadian issues.

Simple solution, doesn't require any moderation, or changes. We all start posting ag related topics, in one of the ag related forums( crop production or machinery), with ag related titles, and all the posters who have no interest in ag won't know where we went.

Devils advocate DML why would anyone involvedin ag advertise here when a bunch of left wing loonies right wing loonies and all the rest of us loonies in between talk about anything but ag at t8mes....

Edit do the loudest trump supporters and trump haters go onto to polical websites to air there views as well?

Just wondering.

Mallee, if you worked for an advertising agency and you were given X amount of dollars by a seed or pesticide company or ag lender and tasked with spending those ad dollars on agriculture websites that attract farm readers and you have the choice of ag commodity marketing forum that gets thousands of hits per day, or another rural issues forum that only gets a few hits every month, or a political forum where you do not know if the participants are even farmers where would you spend the money. What site would be easier to justify to your bosses and the client? And you don't think the owners of websites know this and market their sites to advertisers accordingly! Does it matter that you have an effective ad blocker. Only to the advertisers and website owners should everyone adopt such software.

Well look at that, this turned into a actual marketing discussion!

This is a public forum not your private sandbox. I do not fish but I do not whine about your talk on this site of going to the lake and your pictures of you in your boat even though such posts are definately not marketing related.

I very seldom start a thread. 99% of my posts are in response to something someone else has posted. My biggest peeve in farming is the BS that is spread, often in attempt to sway someone else to their way of thinking. So I have no problem calling out someone for BS when I see it. And I will back up my call out with reasons, not simply do as you did in this post and deny and name call.
If you want me to stop posting, all you have to do is callout and stop the BS.

Until then, try and live by your own demands and only post relevant marketing comments. CaseIH only lasted one day after demanding everyone only talk ag before he was back posting none ag comments in a thread. If you do not want to be called out for BS don't post BS. I wont even ask you to try and be civil seeing your resorted to name calling in 3 of the 4 posts you made just on this thread.

nor do I look at them. They do not affect what I buy either. But that is irrelevant. Advertisers believe the ads have a return so willingly buy them. Which in turn enables companies to offer forums like this at no charge to participants for the actual website and administration that it takes to operate them.

I don't know how much of a profit center agriville is for farms.com. It could be a loss leader for all I know for other farm.com services. But it has advertisers therefore it will not make BUSINESS changes which may drive away ad dollars. That is my point. Seldom are consumers of services demanding business change practices successful unless the changes suggested will increase business profits. I question if the suggestion you made would increase Agriville bottom line and that was what I was pointing out.
