Whatever you say, Tom. I understand where you AND Anton are coming from. I do. However, it's from a place that twisted the rules into what it's not. Apparently, from what I'm reading, you guys don't think that we seem to care about merchants getting around the no commercial thing by getting buddies or even hiring people to do it....trust me, we do. We watch for patterns, not just here but other sites as well, on people posting commercial-style posts. People get reprimanded, threads get deleted.
However, we have to walk a fine line. Do we go whole-hog and not let anyone post anything that might remotely be considered commercial, just to placate a handful of people, or do we do our job and monitor what IS posted?
I'm gonna be honest. I'd rather be playing Guild Wars right now than answering questions in the forum. This is not a full-time job for me. However, I do see this as something that needs to be addressed and not ignored. I know that I'm not the only staff member reading this, and it would be redundant for everyone on the team to hop in and give their 2cents, because then this would be all "Oh, this is us vs. them!!!111!!!!!" But, I truly think that you guys are making this WAY more complicated than it needs to be.
Life's never going to be fair. Sometimes, something's going to be in your favor. Sometimes, things aren't. Like I tell the kids on my basketball team, build a bridge, and get over it ;)
