| media requests on my message board | |
| By: Victoria Date: January 27, 2022, 8:57 pm | |

| I moderate a message board that has started getting media | |
| requests. The latest is from a guy who wants to ask for user | |
| experiences with a particular service. It is analogous to, "I | |
| want to ask for your Pokemon card message board's experience | |
| using the three major card grading services Professional Sports | |
| Authenticator, Sportscard Guaranty Company, and Beckett's | |
| Grading Services. Can I make a post and ask for people to | |
| message me their experiences?" My initial thought is to ask him | |
| to credit the forum or at least give us a shout-out, but I'm | |
| wondering if that's polite or Simply Isn't Done when it comes to | |
| those sorts of things. I suspect that he's probably canvassing | |
| any Pokemon card forums he can find, not just ours, so I'm not | |
| sure what the plan is on that front. I'm just not sure what the | |
| etiquette is around these types of situations. | |

| I think he should credit the message board for where he got his | |
| research. So I would make the request if your hope is to drive | |
| more traffic to the board. | |
