New Touristic Area Hurghada

[Peter Mitry]

Please explain the difference between me posting pictures of Sara's Residence and you giving updates and publishing photos of your site? I made no reference to selling the project at all.

I make no secret of what I do; so publishing photos in a section on new Hurghada seems perfectly reasonable.

As a moderator I give a lot of my personal time to develop a forum which will be of interest to as many people as possible; however, please explain why that should put me at a disadvantage to other members who also are here to get exposure for their projects?

What I object to is blatant selling; comparing one project with another, criticising rival projects and quoting prices to gain an advantage.

Photos tell their own story; our audience can decide what is of interest and choose to ask more questions or not.

The alternative would be to ban all photos and that clearly is against the majority interest.

i agree with peter the more information we get helps the buyer the more pictures and info is good for the forum its just that there are a lot of buyers in this area of hurghada and i dont think its biased just good open info.i know the arabia area is not being featured to much at the moment dave99 but i believe theres not a lot to show yet so its time will come. yes stop the baltant selling but this forum has come on leaps and bounds recently and the more pictures and info the better.As long as we keep one thread for each development i dont see any problems

[Andrew Reynolds]

Keep up the work as moderator, I am not an agent just a buyer and enjoy seeing pictures of the general area and other developments.

I think the name of the web site name Totally Property and the forum title Egypt Property Forum makes it clear that this forum is to discuss properties!

If people are restricted from posting, the forum will dry up very quickly.

Sorry Alison

If you noticed my reply quoted the post from Peter, not you.

I have no problem with simple photos of an area, or even a single development, for general interest, but Peter is adding extra "promotional" stuff for a site that he has an "interest in", which would seem to be at odds with his request for evryone to stop doing this sort of thing when we have the "sales forum".

So what you are saying dave99 is that as Moderator I should delete all references to your project which appear outside of the Sales area? Is that really how you want the forum to be run? It will be interesting to hear everyone elses comments...

Alison - Thanks for your offer.

I have plenty of photos - I get daily updates - no need to use lack of agency updates as an excuse to get promo photos on the forum - all my owners get regular updates and lots more.

I thought it would be nice to avoid this sort of thing but we seem to have gone full circle.

Peter

Thanks for the suggestion - maybe this would be worth trying - it may be the only way to stop EVERYONE from so much promotion.

It is very clear that your post has some value, if you remove your EXTRA promo bits, so why put them in.

Just so everyone is clear on what I consider to be fair.

I opened (and have now closed) a thread on the Arabia Beach district, and apart for the name in the title there is NOT A SINGLE reference to my development, or anyone elses, which is what I expected from everyone else, and even this was after clearing it with the forum administrator first.

Or is this just me not understanding what the word "fair" means.

Dave99 was their some part of my post above which you did not understand? This was NOT a promotional post, it did NOT compare this project either negatively or positively against any other, it was merely INFORMATIVE.
Some of your posts are getting tedious. Alison is a direct competitor and still had positive comments to make!
