       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.
