Well, it still says 'beta' in there, so IMHO it all still falls under the category of 'beta testing', therefore no-one should be banned or correctioned for that behavior. Honestly. Oh and since it still is a beta forum, why won't we still give it another chance when it is out of the beta-stage...yeah, right, sure...it's like kicking a dead horse already there in reality. <br><br>

You are right, it's ridiculous. I kinda almost understand their point but that one condescending post there by Jason Snell a few days ago was the final.
