Originally posted by Phil O'Keefe Guys, as I explained way back when the spam sticky was started, we can allow you one spam thread for your personal WTB and FS posts... and we ask that you keep your spam stuff in there. If we allow all of you to do spam threads, two things happen. We wind up with a board full of spam threads (and start getting complaints - most of them from respected forum regulars who I shall not name) and the REAL spammers - you kow, the nOObs who register and start spamming, corporate spammers etc. try to throw it back in our face - "well hey dood, I read the rulez, and it does say no spam, but uh, why are you letting everyone else do it?" If you want to discuss the merits of a particular item you're considering purchasing, feel free to start a thread and ask question and discuss it at will. Yes, that can be a loophole, and I doubt someone is going to close or pull the thread if it's worded as "Hey, I'm considering getting a MKI Boogie - what do you think?" and then someone else comes along later in the discussion and says "dood, I have one for sale - I'll PM you". But other than that, please just use the dedicated thread and don't give me a lot of grief over it, okay? Since it seems everyone is OK with individual spam threads, why don't you do a poll and see what WE want? If the forum is going to be filled with spam threads, then let us prove how dumb we are to want such a thing Otherwise, throw up a SPAM forum. It's not like it's rocket science turning on another PHP forum. It certainly wouldn't be the first.
