Not sure what all the fuss is about, I was under the understanding that a forum was there to be used, to put on it anything that you are thinking to do with the subject the web site was set up for.
If a company puts insurance add and I am looking for insurance then it is informative but if I am not looking for insurance then it is spam.
I have used the forum to build my portfolio of staff and will continue to do so, to most people my posts are spam but for the 4 or so people who have responded have found the post informative.
Just a thought but one man’s spam is another man’s information.
If people are fed up about the standard of posts and usage of the site maybe they need to do something about it and put something interesting on the site that we can all look at with interest.
