It can be abused of course but as long as I feel ok about what I post and do not go overboard and no one complains then I think it evens out
well, of course, you're right, and your program is a sponsor, so I think it's a different situation. But for some people, even those posting hotties (and I'm not against some "eye candy" so to speak), this is becoming a double edge knife, I really doubt many people bothers to check those spam threads, and if so, I doubt they get many clicks. And for those posting every time they update their blogs or every time they sign up for a sponsor, they only add noise to a board that's getting pretty crappy already with all the trolls and whining babies
