Nobody reads the other forums, this is the forum

furthermore

now the only spam we will see will be paid for spam from big programs, not much variety there imo

i think this new rule will be counterproductive.

And the reason you did this is because your paid advertisers bitched that there was too much spam?

Hmm

i think there is too many bullshit retarded posts as compared to spam or program announcements.

Anyways, end of rant
