Advertising in your local area.

[Virtualme]

Just wondered if there are any downloads of media that can passed around to others such as posters, invitations etc to make others around you aware of Cassiopaea?

For what reason would you ask about this?

 

[Virtualme]

Well for one, I was thinking of putting up a flyer in my local library.

And....?

Some info in the office kitchen at work andalso to friends and family.

No such flyers, posters, and other "advertising" materials exist, because it's against the policy of the forum to go out recruiting people. This ain't Church.

Forcing exposure to information that people do not ask for is STS, because it is determining what the needs of another are. If people involved in esoteric topics ASK for your opinion, or for resources you may know about, I think then it would be appropriate to list resources, books, groups, etc. that you have found helpful to your own personal understanding. But randomly putting up advertising in places isn't actually taking anybody's needs into consideration but your own. Maybe this is something you should look into more.

Have you read the forum guidelines?

Your time may be better spent reading over the recommended books than trying to promote what you don't understand, virtualme.

(And thank you whitecoast, for a nice summation.)

There are some flyers advertising SOTT, however, with themes like "Psychopath Rule the World" and stuff. Advertising SOTT is a different thing from advertising the Cassiopaea site, I think.

Sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, why am I feeling like Gimpy's responses to virtualme was militant?

Perhaps because they were simple and to the point. What made you feel that they were militant?

I suppose because they were simple and to the point/abrupt. Is the word dry? I guess it was just a subjective impression. There was no acknowledgement of his wanting to I don't know, help, contribute, be of service etc in Gimpy's response (be it a bit gung ho and misguided as per the rules but still noble gesture - to do something rather than nothing). It was more, and? so? you don't understand, etc. Anyways, that is just how I felt. I guess it is do with interpretation of language.

Yeah, I agree.

I dunno... posting flyers seems rather passive, similar to posting SOTT articles on Facebook. It is ultimately up to those people exposed as to whether or not they want to read and digest the information.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. Do we stand up and speak out? And, if so, is that a violation of free will to simply disseminate information... seems to be a valid question, IMO

For info - there is a topic about promoting SOTT posters. :)

I also think posting flyers is a passive action. I think other members did not want encourage him to do it, because he specifically asked if he could pass around the flyers on "Cassiopaea".

I agree.
Virtualme was just "wondering" if he could promote "Cs". I think he is understanding the importance of Cs so he probably wanted to ask about flyers with a good intention to help.
What he does not know is that we do not want to promote Cs because Laura and the group are attacked every so often from different people and it can cause a great damage.

Perhaps, I think it was just better to answer "no" to his simple question and to guide him to the thread on promoting SOTT, rather than telling him what to do and what he is understanding or not understanding?

Excellent reminder! Thank you! I had seen some of these flyers, but some are new to me
