Imagine what the forum would look like if every FReeper that has a blog posted it here.
Just a personal observation -
The problem is not good, loyal, contributing FReepers posting an opinion piece once in a while. (I’ve been known to do that myself, when The Muse speaks to me.)
It’s spamming the Forum with drivel that’s cranked out just as hit fodder by posters whose history shows nothing but “1 of X” never commenting, just using FR like their own personal billboard.
I (and I suspect a lot of other FReepers) have a problem seeing the Forum we pay for ~~to keep it free from advertising~~ used that way.
