No, not if they are being shady about it. Private messaging seems under handed. Why not be open about it? It would be a fair action. Then the community would be informed and could decide.
Maybe they only want "select" members. I guess I didn't make the cut. :'(
I'm with you, Mr. C. No need to cherry-pick your members. Just be upfront about it and invite everyone. It's like being in 5th grade and everyone but you receives an invite to a birthday party. It's just bad form.
Well its crazy that and people advertising their job on this site trying to get business
It would be ok if they advertise this site on their site just as much and with the same enthusiasm.
Thanks for this question, Rooster. I was tempted to ask you what had happened but this answers my unasked question.
I suspected that was the reason. And, no, I don't think it's appropriate or right.
Y'know ... I don't get private messages 'cause I don't follow anyone. But if I got one of those, I'd think I was something special to get a private invitation. Unless I thought it was a scam of some sort. Depending on my mood that day. LOL
But I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, it's not like we sign a contract to only be members of one site. And when I had a blog, I was VERY particular about who I gave permission to post (after a couple bad posters).
Some where along the line your going
to learn, it's a free country.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for?
