--- Quote from: BenRG on 17 Jul 2017, 23:23 ---Precisely. Now, if Clinton said something like "I'll do 100 positive posts if you agree to let me have 5% of the take from every customer who tells you: 'Clinton sent me'," then Faye agreed then this would be a negotiation for advertising (if an ethically dubious one).

Advertising is perfectly fine, as long as it is represented as advertising (something that is compensated) and not a review (which should not be).

Sig being "All about the jokes", yes, and I fully agree that's why it's annoying me. Because it's not just jokes at the character's expense, it's jokes at the expense of characterization.
Nighthawk700:
My wife is an artist (mostly in glass) and graphic designer. Almost anyone who asks for something to be done, wants her to do it for a discount. "It's for a charity" "I'll put it on Facebook and tell everyone to go to you for this" "I'm getting more than one, I should get a discount" and even "I'll mail you a new lock, you can install it yourself" (from a locksmith over 200 miles away... we don't need a new lock for our doors). It sometimes gets to the point where she wants to just drop it altogether. Faye is doing a service. One that takes time and skill to do. She gave her pricing up front. If you want the service done, and done well, you pay for it. Now smile and give a big thumbs up, Clinton!

Oh? Sorry, I missed that - I thought you'd said their behaviour was in character.
If out of character, then yes, I agree with you. I think it's all in character, though.
MrNumbers:
Oh, I think it's all in his current character. I mean it's at the expense of character growth/development/nuance as opposed to it's breaking character or out-of-character.
Because yeah this was in-character.
