Freedom is one of our most valued principles but the experience has showed that in order to make the Comments section a useful tool, for both Creators and Brands, it needs a set of rules (horrible word yet sometimes demanded) and a firm hand when the rules are ignored :)

The Pitch Comments section was thought to facilitate direct contact between the Brand behind the Brief and the Creators participating in order to improve the outcome of the Pitch. However the way it is currently used, by Creators on one side and Brands on the other, it hardly brings any satisfaction to none of the two.

Most of that is due to the lack of explanations and guidelines on BootB’s side and we are the first to admit it. While waiting for the September enhanced Comments tab that will give you more freedom of expression, we have decided to establish a set of rules on how to use the current Comments Section so that it boosts the experience of all part involved.
Additionally BootB will post–moderate all comments and remove those which violate the rules stated here below.
