Casey - this is unacceptable blasting our forums to run your business for free. None of us here want to be solicited like this. You are allowed to announce a showcase in one or two of the most relevant forums.
Seriously! With all the members and guests on here that have 2018's that are still not sure if they will be able to play baseball in college....just RUDE!
The whole point of the Showcase is to help uncommitted kids play college baseball? I've put together a group of small programs, from all over the country, to sign players who aren't being seen, or are good enough to play at larger programs. I am literally helping create opportunities for those, who aren't being recruited, to have a chance at playing college baseball and that is RUDE?!?!?
I believe that may have been sarcasm; it's hard to tell on the internet.
and yes it is a business, organizing this many colleges, from all over the country, to travel to California, to attend a showcase for uncommitted players is not FREE or easy. Last year 30 players were offered college scholarships as a result of attending this camp. They made there $100 fee back and then some. If you don't see the value and the significance of the event, it's your problem.

I am going to take a wild guess and assume she was referring to my post. We can do this the hard way or the easy way. So CaCO3Girl can see what my post was referring to, I deleted about six other redundant threads posting the same showcase information so that is what I reacted to. All we could see on the right side of the forum was a picture of Casey's mug announcing his showcase. Showcase announcements are allowed on this site but within reason. I deleted all the redundant threads and left two of them up. If business people like Casey do not like that policy or members like CaCO3Girl want to quibble with me over it, you are free to go to some other baseball site. I get paid zero dollars for administering here and almost never get involved unless I see abuse.
If someone could please confirm if that was sarcasm or not, that would be great!

If you make a penny off this event you are advertising free of charge. It’s a violation of the terms and conditions of the site. Be a responsible adult and pay for an ad.

I posted it in threads where it was relevant, the post you deleted was about the Palm Springs Collegiate League and I posted it in 'Summer Teams"

Just as a point of information, it looks like you deleted his post about his collegiate summer league looking for players, which is unrelated to the duplicate showcase postings.

You should try to organize the event for free and help 0 athletes. I don't need to pay for an add, I'll help the kids who come, those who do not can help themselves.

Casey this is turning bad quickly. When you blast the forums like you did, all we see on the latest thread announcements on the right is what you "deem" relevant and everything else is pushed out of the way. My patience is wearing thin. In the future, pick the two most relevant forums and post there. I don't know any clearer way to state the policy.

i thought it was RUDE to post that ALL over the site. I think of this site as an advice site, not a way for others to make money. There was likely more than one person that thought oh "great for unsigned players"...this could be the thing I've been looking for to help my kid....and then it's another showcase invite. As was mentioned, this site isn't suppose to be about others making money. This isn't a site for "business people" this is a site for help and advice. I get more than enough showcase invites, don't need to see them on here.

I guess you don't understand how qualified I am to actually make a difference in kids playing careers. You have no baseball experience but think you deserve an opinion or you know how things work. This is my own fault for posting in a high school baseball forum.

Oh well. All I know is when I looked in on the forums, all I saw were a bunch of pictures of Casey. Casey - if you want to re-post your summer league item please do. At this point, maybe wait until your other threads have run their course for a day or so and thus, you will have maximum impact when you make the summer league announcement.

Just delete all of them.

Maybe take a look at why your son isn't committed? I'm not wasting any more time on this one.
Before things go too far... lots of people have posted about travel teams, showcases, and other types of paid events and services without running afoul of the admins or the users here.
CD said it was the repetition that caused him to take action.
The way the forum software works, the site shows you the latest posts in all forums when you enter the site.
For that reason, posts don't need to be added to every possible appropriate forum, and when they are put into multiple locations it looks like the site is being spammed.

Now that makes sense. Thank you.
