Creating a post to say hi and introducing yourself is fine, we welcome new users who want to help others whilst simultaneously improving their own language skills.
Please remember it is best when THESE THINGS PROGRESS NATURALLY. There is no need to leave comments all over the site with email/contact details - this is regarded as spam.
Alternatively you are free to Private Message (PM) those you've become friendly with and would like to further communicate with.
This way, the users have the choice whether or not to reply to your PMs, or block them.
Be aware that if multiple complaints are received regarding a user's PMs, the user will be banned from PMing.
@Urcto's group called 'Correction' is a great example of people helping each other out - a perfect example of natural language exchange.
Quality is of paramount importance to us. We aim to offer superior quality services, and moderate the community in order to maintain a high standard of language assistance.
Being a native speaker doesn't automatically make someone an expert in that language, thus our highly qualified teachers and academic developers are able to ensure that you are receiving correct languistsic assistance within the community.
We also provide experienced, qualified, professional teachers in our Guided and Executive plans, if paying for 1 on 1 instruction is within your budget, I suggest you try out this service.
There have been cases where people are led away for language exchange and then asked to pay for language instruction.
Whilst we welcome competition, we would be silly to assist competition.
As for the business strategies of the company, these are handled by our executive team.
I am the Product Manager of ChinesePod, and is is my duty to you, our dear Poddies to do my utmost to ensure your ChinesePod experience is of the highest quality. I have given this issue a lot of thought and although many people mean well - we have to have clear policies that ensure quality is maintained. Thank you.

March 24, 2009, 10:15 AMHi, SunnyBaby
Maybe the first laowai to contact you is the website's administer and he will send you a message about your vilolation of the rules that exchange language privately is banned in this commercial websit.
头一个与你联络的老外或许就是这个网站的管理员，他会发个短信告诉你，你已经违反网站的规定，在这个商业网站里是不允许私下里交流语言的。
There is no free lunch across the world.
I think no one would like to write to you to agree to your offer. I Know you are eager to improve English,but they laowai maybe argue that you are taking advantage of them.
我不是老外，我是地道北京人，愿意与你交流。

我对这里所规定不太清楚，不过关于你在寻找语言交流的目的，北京强说得十分没错，来到这个网站的老外一般来说都只是想要学习中文和加深对中国文化的理解。

你好,面条
中文说得不错啊，我能给你改改吗？改过后就完美了。
You speak Chinese very well.
May I polish your essay to make it perfect?

By the way, how many years have you been learning Chinese by yourself or by means of a scholl that teach you Chinese?

March 25, 2009, 08:46 AM楼主,其实所有的中国人在这里的目的都一致的,但是所谓learn from each other是个好办法,却不是这个网站希望看到,毕竟人家是营利型网站.加入我的group吧(correction),学习英语要自己争取创造条件.

March 26, 2009, 04:21 AMHi, 面条兄
Do not mention it.(不客气)
Maybe 10-month Chinese education in Taiwan have cultivated you of the sense of speaking Chinese.
You have writen such a great number of Chinese characters to compose an article with few errors.
Admittedly, your Chinese is nearly approaching the native speakers in China and is so good that you may get a part-time job for teaching Chinese to those English-speaking who never contact with Chinese language but are interested in Chinese culture.
I believe that if you keep learning and practising Chinese, you will be a 中国通 in 1 years. I can help you accelerate the process by my revising and polishing your saying and essay and reach your aim that speaking Chinese is just like a native of China.
I am determined to do that. And are you ready for it?
According to a high standard of Chinese composition, I have revised your essay below.

March 26, 2009, 05:00 AM北京强，thanks again, and below is a returned favour.
Do not mention it. also no problem, not at all.
Maybe 10-month Chinese education in Taiwan have cultivated you of the sense of speaking Chinese.
Perhaps the ten months you spent in taiwan has given you a greater understanding of spoken chinese.
You have writen such a great number of Chinese characters to compose an article with few errors.
You wrote a long comment in chinese with few errors.
Admittedly, your Chinese is nearly approaching the native speakers in China and is so good that you may get a part-time job for teaching Chinese to those English-speaking who never contact with Chinese language but are interested in Chinese culture.
I must admit that your chinese is almost at the level of a native speaker. It is so good that you could get a job teaching chinese to english speaking foreigners interested in chinese culture and language . (thank you for your praise, but it's far from the truth)
I believe that if you keep learning and practising Chinese, you will be a 中国通 in 1 years. I can help you accelerate the process by (my) revising and polishing your saying and essay and reach your aim that speaking Chinese is just like a native of China.
I can help you accelerate your learning by revising and polishing your essays so that you may reach your goal of attaining the level of a native speaker.
I am determined to do that. And are you ready for it?
According to a high standard of Chinese composition, I have revised your essay below.
I have revised your comment below in accordance with a high standard of chinese.
thank you for your sincerity and generosity. however, this site is not an appropriate place for language exchange, and i think it's against company policy.
i teach english all day long, and to be quite honest i don't have the time or the motivation to help people with their english in my spare time.
thanks again, and i'm sorry if i have dissapointed you.

BEST WISH FOR VERYONE ！

March 25, 2009, 04:51 AM北京强， 谢谢你。说实话，我的中文还差得离谱。我从来在课本上学语法学的不太好，我反而在听人家说话然后模拟他们的语气和句子的节奏学得更好。
去过了北京啊，不过就呆了两天，所以说我对北京的理解就算是走马看花的那样的理解。
2001年我毕业于西澳洲的curtin大学，不过当时我运气太好了，1998年获得台北政府提供的奖学金，我在台北的淡江大学中文系呆了十个月。毕业后把中文放弃了，因为那时候我承担的责任较多，没办法。现在儿子已经长大了，他获得美国大学足球奖学金，不过他明年才要出国开始。
2007年我儿子录取澳洲15岁男孩足球队并来成都参加比赛，那是我趁热打铁，比赛完后回国过不了一个月我决定回来把我的中文捡起往前走。我没时间在学校继续学，还得干活，不过学习环境理想。只要我努力就好了。
我承认一个重要的事实，不管老外花了多久的时间学习中文，永不能达到本地人的中文水平，话说回来，不过我是习惯吃苦的，所以要尽量坚持试试看吧。
