Is it okay to...

I didn't know where to put this, and I figured it would work best in Show and Tell since it's related to this forum.

Anyway, is it okay to tell people "Advertise my project and I'll pay you $___?"

Probably, but why would you do that?

Re: Is it okay to...

I doubt it's appropriate for scratch. There are other ways of advertising: Putting it as your signature, posting links on your projects, adding useful tags. etc.

Would you use $ you made up on the forums or would you use real $?
If you used $ you made up that would be okay, but I don't think real $ would.

@kimmy and Harley-Why isn't it appropriate?

Re: Is it okay to...

All in all, this is an 'educational' site... I'm sure the Scratch Team doesn't want the parents to see their kids doing this kind of stuff...

Re: Is it okay to...

I'm pretty sure that the forums team doesn't want people transferring bank account information over their site. Because there is no way to send messages privately, even if your offer is legit (don't feel offended, but anytime people offer money online for almost nothing, you need to be suspicious), people couldn't post their account information without everyone else on the site getting it too.


All hail the Holy Mackrel! God of bad puns!

Shouldn't advertising projects be free?

It is possible to advertise projects without paying money. You could ask people  smile  , or you could spend money and risk getting caught by scratch, just to advertise a project.  sad

Re: Is it okay to...

I dont know why you would pay money for advertising when your not getting money back.
I guess you just do it for the lulz.  Oh, I mean for the luvz.

Re: Is it okay to...

I don't think it would be dissalowed, but it would be completely unnecessary.

Use your sig.
