Its not Tickerns fault, its our fault for allowing this environment to occur IMHO. |

good intentions? It was to promote a for profit site that has no affiliation with 2+2. Good intentions for self-interest maybe..

Agree with TT and dids. They operated within the rules and now the rules have changed. It happens.

It was clearly abusing the avatar privilege that 2+2 offers its users for personal gain.

Re: explosion of coaching site spam and the fact? that mods are involv
I brought this up when the "Best MSNL coaches" thread was started. I thought it was probably not kosher, I was convinced otherwise. The cat is out of the bag basically, people have been discussing 3bet and LP coaches freely. We have coaches talking about what they do, we have people recommending coaches to one another. Either you just let this stuff fly completely or just crack down and refuse to allow anyone to mention anything related to coaching. I don't think the latter is unreasonable, it's just that these are our two options.
Allowing stupid loopholes like "url in profile only" and whatever just leads to people finding ways around loopholes. "Not coaching" in location, LP avatars, I mean come on. People aren't stupid, we aren't running a kindergarten here. Either we have a strong message that you have to pay to advertise, or have others advertise, your services around here, or we just let it all loose. |

Re: explosion of coaching site spam and the fact? that mods are involv
discussions of the best coaches for your buck is similar to talking about which site has the best fish, lowest rake ect. Allowing people to have those avatars is similar to allowing a poker site to post threads about how awesome they are, which is considered spam.
