Pay Items Poll at Parsimonious

[Hecubus]

Found this interesting...and I encourage everyone to go vote!

Note: The following includes votes so far...only 34 at the moment...but I think we could stuff the ballot boxes, as it were...make a statement.

Currently our Community Finds features new updates from other community websites. Each find is labelled to say whether the items are free or pay. Do you feel the Finds should be restricted to just free content?
         
0.0%  -  You should feature more items from pay sites in the    Finds, I frequently purchase Sims downloads and hate to miss previews of good pay content

26.4% - I think it is right that pay items are featured so that people can decide for themselves if they wish to purchase the content shown

17.6% - You should not to feature pay items as it is a disappointment to those who cannot afford to pay for the items shown

14.7% - Pay items should only be included in the finds if the site contributes a support fee to Parsimonious for the advertising of their updates

41.1% - No pay items should be featured as it is inappropriate to charge money for Sims custom content and Parsimonious should not be encouraging the community to support this practice via the Finds

Edited to add link...sorry!

I voted in favor of the advertising fee. They should also put a link to us.

More Awesome Than You will accept paysite advertising for the low, low fee of $14.95 a month!

[frivolous]

omh i thought this was going to be a poll asking if parsimonious should start charging for their CC. i was about to freak out. :|
also BSR needs a poll like this lol. i sent them an e-mail in my best interpretation of german as possible asking them to stop featuring pay crap but never got a reply hahha. :P

ETA the results.

[Ensign EO]

Eh, there's really only three choices, if that.

Yes, feature paysites.
No, don't feature paysites.
I am willing to accept the existence of paysites if they pay you to prove their existence.  (And even more so if they pay me.)

I voted for the popular one because I'm a sheepy.  Baaaa.

Another little update.
I went for the last.

[Gwendolyne]

Ok, voted.
Eh, took the last one just to give them a clear statement.

I should have taken the first one. Just with the addition "So that we don't miss anything we'll need for the booty"

[Quorneater]

I voted the last one too.  I hovered over the "disappointed" one, but the last one sums it up better.

Voted with the last option as it's the one that makes the most correct statement.

[JMZ]

I voted for the last one too. IMHO free sites should not have recolours of pay stuff period. (unless they include the mesh )

They could link to PMBD instead.

[calalily]

Yeah, I voted the last one too.
