I can't hit that URL.

Just chucking it out there, but I think, similar to what's been mentioned before, it would be worth 'vetting' corporate members, even if it's just like you need 5 positive reviews / customers to vouch for you, similar to how a lot of the old web design guilds used to work.
I know that @bear did mention that corporate/premium memberships come with no guarantee etc from a customer point of view, but as an outsider I can quite easily see someone seeing the badge/status and thinking 'oh he's obviously legit'...

Lack of moderation?
Of the 130 tickets of yours in the desk, stretching back to 2007, 2 are unanswered; one from the end of January and one from the 15th of this month, both asking us to look if someone has experience with a provider they recommend.

It's funny TonyB should say that because I noticed that too...and only noticed due to the other issue. There was one thread from our usual soap opera/reality show host where verification was asked about the members making statements towards the host. Nothing was ever mentioned if their domains were verified.
It's a cause an effect syndrome.
If we police/regulate/(add a less harsh word here) hosts to not have easy access to advertising....it would then cut down on the circus threads....thus leaving mods to do valuable things with their time instead of babysitting daycare host threads.
I know not everything is a field of flowers, but isn't a waste of time on your end to moderate ONE host every week. At that point the price they paid for corporate membership is imbalanced since lots of time has to be invested in cleaning up their mess. I haven't bought a membership and have brought more value by referring outsiders to here when someone is looking for a service outside of my services. The other host just brings playground drama....and paid to bring increase that drama

Not trying to argue....but it is about Corporate Memberships.
If there's no type of guidelines, then anyone could join....even people who aren't in any type of web hosting related business.
The cause and effect has already been demonstrated by others in this thread;
Cause - change posting duration times
Effect - more effective and quality ads in the ads section
Double Effect - less nonsense ads from nonsense companies
Triple Effect - less moderation
The left hand and right hand playing together nicely
I haven't advertised in almost 2 years, and I wouldn't mind every 2 weeks. WHT cannot be my only source of acquiring a customer...and within those 2 weeks, it would give a new host a chance to look over their operation.Last edited by WPCYCLE; 02-25-2015 at 08:40 PM.

@Moderators - is there an internal discussion going on with Penton now about changing the posting frequencies of different user types?
Just curious -- I would be really happy about that as a benefit of Corporate accounts.EasyDCIM.com - DataCenter Infrastructure Management - HELLO DEDICATED SERVER & COLO PROVIDERS! - Reach Me: chris@easydcim.com

I'd be surprised if there wasn't.
I doubt they can say much. With it being such a huge cash flow, i'm sure the owners want to put some feedback in. Then again, for corporate's having more floor space to sell on, i'm sure that'd increase signup rates which is always good.

I just did a run down in the VPS offers section and here's the break down for posts listed as 'today' for me (GMT -7, west coast NA)
- 15 Corporate
- 12 Normal
- 6 Premium
If you look into the day prior:
- 18 Corporate
- 18 Normal
- 2 Premium
That's a lot of normal posts.
To be honest, it seems people buying Premium are just doing it for the tag and not really the better posting speeds.
That's a lot of normal postings though, with other days likely being even more so.

I should probably add that I'm not trying to stick it to the smaller hosts that can't budget $1400/year for an advertising channel, but rather try to deal with the drive-by posters that are only ever in the offer section. I didn't count but I can take a pretty safe bet that the very large majority of the 'normals' in the offers section are < 50 total site posts, usually hovering ~30.
I think if the new owners/mods/powers that be, want to increase the amount of good content they could award some memberships out every year to people that really help contribute good content (and not just a random post here and there) as a way to boost moral and such. I don't think there'd be many people contesting against someone that really gives back to the community getting some extra privileges for it. I know there's the 'Content' member group but I'm not sure if that gains any posting privs or if it's just for show and ability to submit things to twitter/add thread TL;DR's.

The only reason I pay for prem is to support iNet (Now Penton) I never paid for Corp mainly because I never saw the value in it. (That is just my opinion and others can and would disagree) but I mainly come here to keep abreast of what's taking place along with get a couple of laughs now and again. I do advertise just about every day (rotating my ads every 7 days) and it works for me thus far.
I do agree that the free users should definitely get less options when it comes to the advertising forums because they cloud the forums with 1cent offers which is ridiculous which is probably why the ratings for WHT has dropped. I quickly see WHT becoming one of those forums you just advertise in since even the value in the main forums have dropped. I have even stopped seeking posts to contribute to because of that. There is another forum I visit which was once great for designers etc to contribute industry standard information but has since become a place for marketers and spammers to post their "latest" offers. I really do not wish this for WHT and hope something can be done about itIf you're the smartest person in the room then you're in the wrong room
