This subforum is for language industry events and announcements, so what she wrote is in line with what the subforum is for. I think the original poster's only mistake was in writing such a sales-talk-like title for the event announcement. A more factual title would have served a better purpose. With this title, the original poster not only announces but unreservedly endorses.

I have taken your point and edited the title of the post. In answer to Phil, this forum is intended for such announcements. This course has won a Proz award 3 years running. Thank for pointing it out. It was a bit "salesy".

We don't ask students whether they are members of ProZ or not, so I cannot give specific figures. However many of them voted for the course, so we assume they are. I think most translators (at least of my acquaintance) have a ProZ profile.

It is not allowed to put such a post in the forum unless:
The course is free to Proz members;
The course is endorsed by Proz's management team;
The course is co-sponsored by Proz.
You are an advertiser on the Proz site.

Hi all,
Samuel is right. The rule covering this is http://www.proz.com/siterules/forum/13#13 .
Keeping your post titles descriptive and to the point is also a good practice, and helps ensure that people in search of the content of your post can more easily find it. Going "salesy" can work for some audiences, but for others... not so much!

The awards Lucy is talking about are the ProZ.com community choice awards, which are held annually, and wherein the ProZ.com community nominates and votes on candidates in a variety of categories. You can see the winners for the 2015 edition at http://www.proz.com/community-choice-awards .
