Here is a problem none of you have mentioned. Each forum on HC is treated differently and the majority of members who are regulars at the diff forums - amps, guitars, etc. have their own "rules". Absolutely no individual spam threads are allowed on the elec guitar forum. If you post one, 10 assholes will jump down your throat and it will be removed in under 5 minutes. I guess that's why the mods have to try to keep some kind of uniformity. I personally don't have a problem with the stickied spam and here's why- you look at it and remember where you left off, come back and only look at the new stuff.....if everyone posted their FS stuff there and the buyers all went there too, why wouldn't that work?
