Evaluation Purposes

Some new commercial people are preparing themselves the evaluation trying to get in contact with senior members of our forum who are the specialists on some subject. That is why you did not see any new commercial threads: they are preparing their own evaluation. For example, some member wants to sell martingale EA so he will try to find someone on our forum who will be well-known and reputable for us and who is the specialist on martingale EAs. We are having many specialists on the forum so they can evaluate and it is always the subject of an agreement between the vendor and person who is going to evaluate. It will help us to protect the forum from the scammers and persons (who are evaluating) will get something from vendors. Those persons must be well-known and reputable for us.

Commercial threads are acting as a property for vendor and those evaluation threads are something related to our forex tsd forum. Evaluation threads will help us to regulate this commercial subject on the forum in very easy way without any attacking and so on. It is much better then rely on administrator's opinion because sorry I feel that i am specialist but I am not specialist for all the sciences and forex subjects. It is impossible to rely on one opinion only even if this opinion is my opinion.

Evaluation threads are our forum threads and everybody can post. Every post on this section is moderated by me but later on it will not be moderated. We all will see how this thing will be going on ...

Everything that I am doing now generally for commercial and other sections i am doing with one global purpose only: I want for this forum to be self-regulated by our community as much as possible. I am having good health but ... one person can not do everything and can not regulate everything.
Commercial section is something we needed to start with.


Hi Newdigital,

I was contacted a few days ago by a guy who wanted to sell his product here and who was told by you to contact me in order to evaluate it,I explained to him why ,in that particular case,I was not the more appropiate person to do the evaluation...In any case,thanks for considering me for the task...I lend myself to be one of the testers/evaluators for future products..and I suggest that you open a thread looking for evaluators,forum members that voluntarily offer themselves as evaluators of commercial products..subject to acceptance either by a public poll or by your personal decision.

I believe that what you are trying to do requires voluntary help of senior members,and that it should be organized and public,so,for example,instead of having to reject that specific proposal I could suggest an alternative evaluator from the public list,and this will help everybody in reaching a conclusion about the specific product.

I believe that most commercial products are not worth the price ,BUT that you can find some gold in the rubbish,and that the people/companies selling a product in which they believe,should be glad to have a public evaluation from a forum member since this will lead for better commercial results,and,probably will result in some product improvements too.

Now,the particular case of this thread..You have said and written more than once that you wanted the respected members of this Forum to have some sort of commercial potential if they wished to,in a clean environment,so,you are cleaning the environment,and that`s ok ...I believe that,besides your particular opinion of the personal style of Igor(mine is slightly positive with lots of understanding of what does it mean to be subject to constant attacks),he is a Senior Member with 639 posts,several threads open where he has invested lots of time helping others for free,his public systems might or might not be liked but even people criticising him(most of them) agree that he is not a scammer and that the main critic(besides the personal issues) lays in the systems not being profitable enough versus being very profitable...SO,in my book ,he is a respected member of our community,just the kind you wouldn`t want to lose..and,if he posts his excel sheets,daily or weekly,with his results..and there is no disagreement by any of the members of his group ..he should be allowed to do so in the commercial thread.

I believe that it is not the same case when you evaluate a total stranger of this Forum,than when you evaluate somebody that has shown a previous committment and whose defects and virtues have been exposed for everybody to see..In my opinion,as long as none of his members disagrees with his excel results..they are valid

BTW,I have no vinculation whatsoever with Igor,besides sending him a pm once giving him my moral support which he politely thanked

Regards
Simba
