The GB board is provided for communicating with other GasBuddy® members about operations at the GB full sites and apps. Please be helpful to other members and avoid the politics of the March 27th policy changes. Posts expressing concerns about alleged improper point accumulation at GasBuddy by GBO members are considered to be personal attacks and will not be tolerated. Such concerns may be reported through GasBuddy's help function. Presumably, if GasBuddy's management cares about these issues they will take whatever action they deem to be appropriate. In addition to the existing MSL thread, some useful threads might be established: - Price reporting techniques
- Problems or questions using the GB full sites/apps (Please note that additional material relating to mobile phones and their operating systems may be seen in this board.)
- Methods for finding information at full sites after Mar 27th
- Methods for communicating with GB members
[/u][/a] may be useful. Particularly local situations could be handled in a Local Discussion Category's state/province or metro-area board, especially if some action, such as visiting a station, is required. Replies to this thread may be summarized in the OP and then the reply may be deleted in order to keep this thread compact and readable. [/ul]

Yes, and thanks for letting folks know where the MSL thread moved to. Now it won't be buried under so many layers.

lightbulb1: You can follow each other. Either click on the name/handle of a poster in a message or go to the home page, click "members" and scroll until you find the member. Once you bring up the members profile by clicking on the name, in the top right corner you will find a link to follow the member and one to send a message.

lightbulb1: I was always of the opinion that the GB buddy request procedure was a pain. I never refused any request on the theory if it turned out that it was from someone I didn't want to communicate with, I could always simply not communicate with them. Perhaps the intent of it was to prevent mass messeging. At this forum you can block PMs from any member(s), so that should do the job.
msienkiewicz: I will look into it.

Not sure if people know it's still possible to comment on the 5 stories of the day at GB.
However what I do wonder is if people advertise gbo.freeforums.net on that, and whether GB cares or not... anyone doing this for the heck of it?

Enough people must know; otherwise my 30-day rank would have gotten much higher by now. People do advertise this forum on there - and GB doesn't seem to care about that any more than they care about irrelevant articles, irrelevant comments, or insults (which seems to be less than zero at the moment).

I have seen this forum advertises occasionally in posts to the gasbuddy articles.

Okay. I think it would be necessary to advertise there to keep this alive, at least for people who want to say something that won't scroll away real quick...

Google has already crawled this forum once, so it won't be too long before it finds the newly-added GasBuddy® Board, especially if there are several threads in the board with the GB name spelled out in the text. That should allow us to be found on Google by anyone doing a search. Meanwhile, the PM system there is still working, so why not use it to contact old pals directly and invite them over? IMHO, it would be prudent to not try shoehorning promos into the news slots to obtain publicity. While there may be no outright objection or even reaction to it, we all know it doesn't belong there, so it would constitute a form of graffiti. Unless you're Banksy, you may not be appreciated, and if overdone, you'll be seen as miscreants and whiners. Let's take the high road and wait to be crawled.

That issue indeed is the main holdback for doing such, alas, I still try to automatically get my read/post points every day, and adding an ephemeral advertisement seems fairly easy since nobody reads the comments (after it scrolls off/goes to the next page ? -- this part of the sentence may be superfluous)
