Venue/club advertisements have become a massive nuisance

[DarmaniLink]

As a venue owner myself, I do kinda agree with you on this. It's very intrusive to people's experience when they don't want anything to do with the RP scene. It also feels very desperate. The reason why venue owners who own RP nightclubs do this is because it looks very bad on a venue if the place is dead. Just little basic psychology, but people want to be at a place where a lot of people are at. Because if they go to a nightclub that looks rather quiet, they get that feeling of missing out knowing that there are more people crowding in a different venue. Everyone wants to go to the place that is most populated, not the place that looks dead. If you own a nightclub venue, it looks so bad if it's dead and it gives a very bad first impression to first time visitors that they are likely not going to visit your place anymore if they think your place is not successful enough. So if they don't hard advertise, you can expect them to eventually close if they keep having unsuccessful turnouts.

The problem is that it isn't harmless.

There's laws against disturbing the peace/noise ordinances for a reason.
There's rules against flooding chat for a reason.

Because you want to make more money at your venue doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer seeing our chat flooded with ads for clubs every few minutes.
Keep in mind that you can still have an RP scene without having people flood chat for venues.
There's an entire well known site where you can have your venue listed and people will find it on there.

You're creating a false dichotomy that somehow, without flooding chat every few minutes in every zone or having ads in shout chat and flooding PF that nightclubs cannot exist.
This is not only false but extremely manipulative.

You start out by saying you agree with me, then turn around and disagree with me on every point.
Don't play games with me. You've only made my position on this stronger.

Absolutely none in shout or PF. If people want to RP, they will hear about it from word of mouth. The people who RP will find out about them because they will likely be in RP discords.

And frankly, if ONE nightclub closes because it can't get enough people in it, that doesn't mean that every single person in there will stop RPing or that they won't go to other active clubs they already know about. As is what currently happens.

No ads != no clubs
It means no ads.
They will still get new people because RP community is very tight knit.
