What are the Warrior Posting Rules & Terms ?

Clayton, You are free to do that, and others have in the past. Griping about the policy, and deletions resulting from it, is not going to be a productive use of your time or energy.

We don't allow bashing of marketers as individuals. We also don't allow discussion of religion, politics, most blogs, or any other forums in this market. Neither good nor bad references. The topics are simply off-limits.

There are probably a few that I'm forgetting at the moment.

The main reason for those policies is pretty simple: They almost invariably lead to ugly arguments and irrational feuds. They can, under some circumstances, even lead to forum wars and similar stupidities.

The policy about not bashing marketers has additional reasons. Far too many "complaints" about specific individuals are based on poor communication, frustration, or outright malicious fiction. We often have no way of telling what's true and what's not, and we have no intention of helping someone harm an innocent person's business.

Are some complaints and allegations true? Sure. But we can't usually know, and even if they are, there's not often anything we could do about it.

The damage from false allegations would far outweigh the benefits of the few legitimate ones. So, we don't allow any of it, except in some rare situations in which we can really be sure, we can do something about it, and it's relevant to the forum itself.

Of course, then we usually just do what we can do and don't allow the bashing anyway.
