We understand this comes as a surprise, but we want to be more concise with our moderation. Unfortunately, we haven't considered these threads earlier until they have been reported to us. We are moderating everything individually, and therefore we might miss things.
This is why we are always grateful for any reports via PM! Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome as well, provided they are directed to the forum moderators and not disputed within the forum itself.
SmollestLight: Our Forum Code of Conduct has been reworked in the recent years. This isn't about money, but simply following the Conduct and like the statement said, we agree with the reports received that it wouldn't be fair to keep these threads open.
JMich: Quick question to verify my last thread isn't against the new Forum Code of Conduct (which does appear to be buried a bit, but I managed to find it), would linking to a Kickstarter about digitizing VHS tapes of Phantasmagoria 2 videos count as advertising? On one hand, Kickstarter is not a store, on the other hand, I am saying "See if you want to give your money to this project".
Edit: Hah, what do you know, there's a link in the stickies. I always believed that the best way to hide something is to stick it, seems I'm not immune to that.
Advertisements and links to kickstarters (and the like) are considered in the same terms as links to other
commercial pages. If they are there to contribute to the discussion, however, we will allow them.
