Dollar over priciples. (53)
online today!online today!zmountainmanMotril, Andalusia Spain3 Threads 186 PostsReading various threads over the last few weeks I've several times read posts saying things like "Why is this member allowed to stay on site when they have broken the rules endlessly & made remarks to other members clearly designed to cause an argument or insult", well if you believe what is said on several other sites about the CS forum it's because the management put advertising revenue above principles, with each argument comes more page clicks & thus more Dollars, not one for gossip myself (LOL) I wonder if any members believe this to be the case.

I think it's true. A site has to make money somehow to stay in the black. It's completely possible they place profit over principles. I've noticed an influx of fake profiles the past few days, as well.

A good point & when all's said & done these individuals do give endless entertainment even if at times there is a health risk from high blood pressure.

Sites like this make money actually, ads it's how.

Indeed but as I understand it the number of times a page with that ad is viewed goes toward the calculation of the cost of that ad.

Perhaps you'd care to back up this statement by guiding us to the thread where I have used impolite language toward you? As for this thread being against the rules I'm sure the mods will remind me of this if this is the case & as far as I'm aware you are not a mod.

Yup , that's correct. But a site with lots of members its has a "commercial potential" so to speak , the more members it has...the higher its $$$$
Members might not even visit the ads... but there's a "potential" they will...increasing the site's worth.
At least that's how it worked for me when I used to admin a website some time ago , our first goal was collecting users , because of what I have just explained.

I see you are unable to direct us to these threads, could this be because they don't exist?
If you read the op I am asking members for their opinions on something I read on another site, my principles are neither here nor there on this subject.
I can not see where your refrigerator fits into this thread.

Two points really, firstly, and this is only what I've read, in addition to member numbers page clicks also now form part of the calculation. Secondly your point about member numbers does rather lend itself to the theory mentioned in the op, in that by banning members numbers would be reduced.

Could well be dollars,but my guess would be it's more a case of not paying someone to sit and read the forums twenty-four hours a day,therefore many things would go unnoticed.
Heaps of people seem to leave because of the arguing too,so,don't think ignoring it would be beneficial in any financial way,I would of though the opposite actually.

This has crossed my mind, even some trolls have been given wide latitude, maybe for their amusement and entertainment value, who knows

One Troll can have 6 profiles. Do the Maths. 30 sound members can leave but financially, 5 trolls are worth as much. That, I believe, is what has made the site what it is today.

I've often thought the same, I joined a non dating site once to have a look at the forums there, I only lasted two weeks, as soon as you made any comment whatsoever the regulars jumped on you, the site had 75,000 members but there were never more than 300 on line I think because of the attitude of the small minority that saw the site as there property, I'm reminded of some small villages in the UK where unless you're family have lived there 400 years you'll always be an outsider.

The main source of revenue is from advertising. The site is free to members.
