Fair and constructive discourse on matters like this isn't possible here. Your comments will be deleted and you'll be told to go to private help, and then you're not allowed to comment about anything said in private help.Not sure how this comment is part of a constructive discourse ?
But, here's how I see it. Lots of members were upset because they were getting nailed for posting links to listings in the thread and having a discussion on the items listed. If that's how we're interpreting the rules now, fine. But it could have been handled differently.
Just arbitrarily banning and deleting comments got annoying.
So a lot of members have gone where they are allowed to post a link and discuss then contents of said link.
