There's been a spam/troll type working hard to try to skirt the rules and the mods are removing the posts and banning handles as fast as we can. Thanks to those flagging the posts, but there are are some errors being thrown around as facts that need clarification.
The fact is, decisions about advertising are not made by the mods. They are made by the admins/board owners. Mods cannot grant, nor take away ad status. We cannot change account details, or reset passwords, again, only admins can do that. Jess made the call not to allow this new ad/review site to advertise, the mods merely implement that decision. Spamming the board with constant attempts to advertise for free just reinforces she made the right choice. Having a tantrum and spamming the site when told no is hardly a sign of maturity and professionalism.
It's been said before, PERB is not a democracy, nor do the concepts of free speech apply here. We have rules and guidelines that are enforced by the mods, with the assistance of the community as a whole. Unpaid ads is just one example. Outing personal info, hate speech, there's a list of them for all to read in the lounge, user guidelines thread.
Hope this clears some things up for people. Play nice and have fun.
