Gonna throw a 2 center in here. Maybe a 9 iron. Bury it in the sand trap.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but is this a benefit for a BRC related group like BWB? Is this a sanctioned BRC llc event like Afterburn, or a regional?

No. This is a commercial ad for the resort.

It even CLAIMS to be commerce. Not a regional, not an event, not a BRC charity. Like "the first 5 people will get a free matress". "Mention this ad on ePlaya and get 10% off."

The post in question - comments interjected...

not unlike burning man our clients are artists and progressives,searchers,tinkerers,thinkers and romantics celebrating Life -
-- however this is a luxury nude resort
Ad copy. You're selling your resort business. Now... is it free, a gift, something to help out, say, the Ranger Benevolent Fund?
seamountain wrote: The sea mountain inn also has burning man type events- and sends and staffers to the burning man events not to recruit but to enjoy vision and learn
OK. My partners company sends people to different events and things as training as well. I get to go to the SIerras for 2 weeks for training. Get to the point... Is it a gifty gift benefiting the BRC community, or is there a darker, alterior motive? Mentioning BRC does not get a pass. In essence - ARE YOU SELLING ME SOMETHING?
seamountain wrote: In fact sea mountain is willing to give away some free vacation overnights and several day spa free events to people on the eplaya so they can see what we offer
Thank you. There's answer #1. Give a few, the rest pay me to go. I know matress companies that give away freebies to the first 5 customers. Mention this ad on ePlaya and get 10% off. See if buying our product is right for you.

I even know Resorts that comp people like this, famous, new age Resorts...

Nope. Sorry. Commerce. It's an ad.

seamountain wrote: PM if you want to see the site-

Let us know if this is considered a commercial post as we feel the eplayans deserve to be alerted to a fact that such a free sex positive nude liberal enviroment actually exists in a commerce zone -
You just said it was commerce. BANG.
seamountain wrote:-

We can begin with an essay blog contests about nude recreation and lifestyles atmosphere-how the two mingle and interact and give the winner of the contest a free overnight mid week stay--The three runner ups would get Free day and eves spas to sea mountain inn nude resort-
And everyone else pays. COMMERCE!!!
seamountain wrote:We welcome a discussion-
-keep in mind because of the nature of the resort it is for couples and women only --there are not single men on the property ,howevery gay couples are of course welcome
smi
My opinion - If I had caught it I would have culled it for a "TOS section 5" & possibly a "section 7g" violation. Would have never made it this far. Sorry... but
5 Non Commercial Use by Members. The Eplaya is for the personal use of individual Members only and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors. Organizations, companies, and/or businesses may not become Members and may not use the Eplaya for any purpose.
...and...
7g You may not engage in advertising to, or solicitation of, other Members to buy or sell any products or services through the Service...


You can feel free to PM me if you wish on this as well. But the TOS is pretty clear. Esp. Section 5.

Hi and I see you have recently joined eplaya. Welcome. Now stop advertising your place unless you are going to invite us all down for a free soak in your hot tub and I mean all of us burners, single men, children..

There are others who own, work and are members of many nudist resorts and attend buringman but you don't see them advertising. Are children allowed? Laguna Del Sol in Sacramento, Harbin Hot Springs lake county, SierraVille North Lake Tahoe, burners all around. Hey everyone Blacks Beach San Diego the most progressive nude recreation and its fucking freeeeee...

I thought I would post the rates for this "Resort" that wished to advertise here at eplaya.

(This post has been edited by the Forum Moderator Team to remove ad content, including the rate info. This post was in itself an inadvertant ad for the poster in question)

The rate for double occupancy is

(deleted)

State and Local taxes may apply.
The resort caters to adult couples and females only.
NO children or pets allowed on the property.
Membership is required of all guests of the property for a
nominal fee and may be included in certain packages.
Membership fee is

(Rate info, etc. deleted)

... is not a large hotel; it's a boutique hotel and retreat. There are 15 luxury overnight rooms and openings for 100 additional couples or females for day or night visits. Please attempt to reserve in advance as we do sell out.

(Remaining promotional ad copy deleted).

It really really REALLY isn't a problem, hon... I just feel bad that I had to do it! I really hate editing someone elses posts, esp. a decent, hardworking ePlaya poster's entry. Its prolly the one part of this job I hate to do, and is why I do the PM thingy and explain what I cut and where and why.

Now, when it comes to tracking, exposing, and listing spammers for our awesome Admins to give the axe... heh heh heh... THAT I love.

And tracking and killing spam posts and cheezy drug and sex ads? THAT makes me toes all tingly!!!

Hugz 2 ye..

Working on the MasTa--- names. The sockist starts one or 2 of these a night, logs off, then sneaks on and slams a couple when they think we're not looking. Usually happens about 3:00 AM.

Funny - it's about the time I start looking for them, too.

Just so you know we're keeping an eye out for them, and whacking these moles as they pop up with their sneaky, slimy games...

One to watch.. looks like a "test" message from a spam bot. Hasn't posted anything bad yet, just a gibberish post.
