Imported from previous forum
The FIX website now has two new discussion forums which are specifically designated for "solicitation". Participation in and email-based notification of postings from these (and all other) forums is on a voluntary, "opt-in" basis. FIX website users may adjust their subscriptions via "Edit Profile" button at the top of the FIX web page.
-
"Product Discussion" is as an acceptable place in which vendors may announce/promote their products and in which prospective FIX users may ask "Which products can …?" questions.
-
"Help Wanted" is as an acceptable place in which employers and recruiters may announce/promote their interest in hiring individuals with FIX expertise and vice-versa.
The "General Q&A" discussion forum has been amended to contain the following: "It is not acceptable to post blatent solicitation in this forum. Please use the Product Discussion/Solicitation or Help Wanted discussion forums which are specifically designated as "opt-in", acceptable solicitation forums."
The FIX organization’s policy re: blatent solicitation postings has been to reprimand the poster and delete the posting. These 2 recently added Discussion forums should address this by providing an acceptable venue.
