Yes, but FOUR times in THREE sections, plus the What's On section AND the Audition section ??? Not to mention the fact that every post heading is repeated right there on the home page when you enter the site, and the whole of every message is sent to the inbox of anyone who receives the digest.
And then the fact that Melissa made a polite criticism but kindly left your subject heading intact meant that your headline was repeated yet another 6 times on the site.
Honestly, do you think we're not getting the message here? Surely "the best people possible" have got enough brains to check the Audition section and the Billboard Bulletin section...and would probably feel a bit insulted by being shovelled a truckload of spam.
I know the over-enthusiastic post-er had the best of intentions; but you do yourself and the site a disservice. If I WAS a person who didn't read every section, which section do you think I WOULD read to find an audition?
And if I noticed a forum was plastered with subject headings I'd already noticed in another section, would it encourage me to enter and read that forum?
Please don't list an audition notice in the What's On performance section, it's misleading. And fair enough, you wanted to post for technicians in the Techtalk forum, but it didn't need another audition notice in there as well! The one was sufficient.
At a guess I'd say the most read sections are the Billboard and Greenroom Gossip forums, they seem to receive the most traffic in posts. One or the other is enough to draw attention to the details which you've placed in the Auditions section.
I'll tell you a more acceptable way to make sure your notice is noticed...if you really think it's warranted and necessary, you can keep returning here regularly to give us updates.. i.e "auditions next Thursday", then "auditions tomorrow", then "...today", then "...we still need more blokes",...etc.
It keeps it in the public eye but it also gives us the impression that there's something new worth reading about. You'll also get a chance to discover if people are responding to your message, rather than assuming no one reads it unless it's shoved down every orifice with a trowel.
Mmmm....flame-grilled spam...
All the best with your auditions, by the way.
Cheers,
Craig
