I don't see any bribery in that topic. He/She only asked for the requester to join their board. It could be considered advertising though.

Yeah that's allowed(I'd say), but I wouldn't really call it bribery. They just want an exchange.

I remember a staff member saying that it's ok to have people join a person's board in order to get a skin or graphic(I forget what the person requested) the board owner made.

I just would like to hear, why wouldn't you call it a bribery? Becuase it isn't a common term that you hear? It pretty much fits the definition of bribery, so I would call it bribery. :yes:

Well you definition says "gain an illicit advantage.".
I really wouldn't call it an advantage since the person will probably not go on the forum very often, at least I wouldn't.

I just say bribery sounds a little harsh, it seems more of a friendly exchange. :yes:

So he/she is offering a registration at his/her board to gain an illicit advantage? Right.
