Ads are one way of earning but the communities shine where members can pay to show their posts as ads. Like on FB and Twitter, people can pay to show their posts as ads and this way the layout of the ads still show like the normal posts only.
All that makes the post different from normal posts is a small written message - “sponsored post” or “promoted post”.
In Discourse, the sponsored post can be shown after every 15 or 20 posts and in “suggested posts” after a complete topic. This way even is multiple people pay for sponsoring their posts then, also the list won’t be completely filled with them. But the user should also have the option to set the ad for a number of days and will also need some statistics to show to them. Although, I think a more solid plan can be curated by more experienced people in this community.
What do you guys think about this feature request?
Are you talking about the category? Because this is the first time I asked about a feature and I didn’t know which category to use.
@Falco thank you for the link. This plugin’s idea is good but this only pins the post to the top. Although, the idea is to show the post at multiple places rather than just at the top. Means, when a person is scrolling a list of posts then after every 15 or 20 posts he should see a “sponsored post”. That way even if multiple people pay for such ads then also the top of the list won’t be filled with just sponsored posts.
Yeah I know that this idea is for a plugin only and not for Discourse core. Would like to see if someone can make a full fledged users ads system. Although, there’s no hurry for this, I was just putting forward an idea.
Ich grab diesen alten Klassiker wieder aus – er ist immer noch ein Goldstück.
Wir arbeiten an gesponserten Beiträgen in unserem Forum und suchen derzeit nach einer zentralisierteren oder ganzheitlicheren Reihe von Optionen oder Einstellungen, um die Kontrolle über gesponserte Beiträge zu übernehmen. Ich bin neugierig, ob es jemandem gelungen ist,
Die Idee ist, dass gesponserte Beiträge nahtlos in den Rest des Forums integriert werden, dabei aber zusätzliches Gewicht erhalten. Die dafür in Frage kommenden Funktionen werden teilweise durch Core-Funktionen und einige Plugin-Optionen abgedeckt. Dennoch gibt es noch einige Features, deren Umsetzung uns noch nicht klar ist:
Suchpriorität nach Tag: Während die Suchpriorität pro Kategorie festgelegt werden kann, wäre es großartig, sie auch pro Tag einzustellen. Das wurde bereits diskutiert.
