Why do you offend me?

Oops. I'd hoped the private communications on this were clearer. I seem to have failed.

The non-commercial policy is indeed mentioned in the forum rules. It's also now in big block letters in the e-mails that go to entering members; I don't remember if they were in yours or not. It's mentioned a fair amount. This policy is certainly not limited to recruiters, although they are major users of loaded forum posts...it applies to all commercial interest of any kind.

The intention is not to be offensive, but I'm pretty seriously agin' the Saloon being exploited commercially by anyone.
There are a lot of people that try.
A lot of would-be marketers know  they aren't welcome on various sites and turn to various stealth methods to reach people. I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen here.

Might bear in mind that your "Anyone want to marry a Chinese girl?" post was the first time anyone had ever heard from you...

Bottom line is this: If you're just here to promote a business, then don't bother. You can't do that here, and if you try your time on the Saloon will be brief.
If you're really here to exchange ideas, then welcome. You might try just telling us what you're doing instead of simply posting "Anyone want to marry a Chinese girl?"

 Yvonne, I welcome a Chinese point of view to the Saloon. Nobody means to give offence, it's just that your intentions weren't really clear. If you are here just to talk and hang out...then welcome.

Hi Yvonne. So, did I read that right..... you're single? 

I like my Bertie Wooster-like existence.

Have you got a Jeeves?

Hi Yvonne. So, did I read that right..... you're single? 

Yes.  But you didn't read closely enough.  She already has a boyfriend....and no interest in getting another.

AMonk, you should know by now that fellas only hear/read the bits they want to.

 

Yeah, yeah, boyfriend, love blah, blah, blah. There is married and not married. I'll throw in common-law but everyone else is up for grabs. 

Welcome aboard, Yvonne.   What nationality of foreigner do you meet the most?

And do any of your friends want to marry one of them? I might be able to arrange a meeting. For a nominal fee, of course.

I might be able to arrange a meeting. For a nominal fee, of course

Provided she has had no previous dating contact with foreigners who might have ruined her attitude towards dating us, I might take you up on that fearless leader!

 

No problemo. There will also be a reasonable service fee for you, too, of course.
But if you play your cards right, you might be able get a permanent residence permit in China!
