Do you think there's some sorta tolerance for it, is it accepted, or do you think it really pisses people off? Is it good or bad self-promotion? Personally I'm a bit impartial to the whole idea of it. I don't do it, but my friends do, and I've never really bothered to know what people think about it either.

I find that on the event wall very few say "Sorry, but I'm spinning at "such & such" a place the same night"...

It's more likely that they just say "Oh hon, I'd LOVE to go but I'm, umm, in South Africa" or something.

The "I'm spinning at such and such a place" is shameless self promotion BS and it looks to me like they're just crapping on the event. It comes across as douche-baggy.

Originally posted by Big Boss I just disable wall before I create an event. Really, when I create an event it is to bring awareness of the party to people. That's what it is. So many people these days depend on facebook to promote. It's not like it's an actual guide to how busy a night is going to be...there are too many variables...

There is a fine line between "raising awareness of the party" and full-on and annoying promotion. Too many promoters cross that line imo.

I just delete annoying promoters from my friend list. It's pretty easy to get information on an event simply by watching what your friends are attending.

the clubs need to stop throwing free drink tickets and free cover at the people that get their friends on the guest list..it's allowing people with no credibility to label themselves as promoters...dumbing down the profession so to speak..

sorry guys i can't make your etiquitte party...i'm stuck in china and facebook is banned so i can't see the invite. Have fun for me love u bitches xoxox MUAH

It just occured to me that people probably say " Sorry, but I'm in New Zealand" or something like... that those people actually live in those countries, and they are pissed off they are getting these invites from people from around the world.

"Sorry, I can't go to your beach party on the Gold Coast, I'm in Canada"

Maybe these people are trying to give the hint to stop inviting them??

yes. it's the clubs that give people free drinks that causes facebook spam Actually Anas, it's the liquor companies that give the clubs free stuff....but really really, it's the government for not controling the liquor companies more.

So, is the government to blame for my facebook inbox having a daily aneurysm?

lol

I think his point was that the clubs pay these 'promoters' with free drinks and cover. Therefore, if they go around spamming everyone, they will be given free drinks and cover for doing so.

^^^and MY point was, it's the governments fault.

(p.s. his point was pretty clear. I'm going to assume you missed the joke in MY point, that HIS point was a joke. Therefore, you are not very good at jokes...I'm off to catch the bus.)
