The TOS says no political discussion-- which makes it very difficult to complain here, since business practices themselves are very political in nature. It also means that nobody here can vent about legal trouble that they are in (also politics) about how their taxes are too high, about financial troubles they are in (economics is political, esp. when it has anything to do with taxes, rent, or banks) or complain about political attack ads on TV/etc. One of the things I liked about the Rendo forums compared to the DAZ forums is that you COULD talk about politics.
So essentially, you're well on your way to turning the Rendo forums into the DAZ forums where anything that doesn't adhere to strict topicality (2D, 3D, marketplace, forum, gallery, and freestuff) is a moddable offense.

Also, question regarding the offsite marketplace rule: Will this apply to the sponsored sites for people on the Freestuff, as well?
