If the product Showcase forum is to go & all the threads moved back to here then capsces is right there needs to be a new addition to the filtering on the forums. We already have a filter for nudity & violence even if people sometimes forget to use them :) so it shouldn't be that difficult to add a new one to filter out ads. At the end of the day if a merchant comes here & can't advertise their work then they'll go elsewhere & we'll all lose out.
