explosion of coaching site spam and the fact? that mods are involved

[EMc]

I used to think that the whole no coaching policy was a bit, well, silly. After this leggo thing it became clear to me why it is in place, cause it took one liittle relaxing of the rules for a lot of posters to have the avatars and make the site really spammy imo, which can kill any good forum.

I also think the current policy of "It can be discussed, just not by the service themself" works great. I wouldnt want Taylor starting a CR thread but dont mind talking about it. I also think he understands this forum a little better and isnt as aggresive as other services. When CR is mentioned he only talks when it is really warrented (i.e. direct q or criticism) whereas I see 3 bet coaches and LP people pop up every thread even remotely about them.
