It really seems misleading to say SA has a Coed Discussion Forum, let's face it, half the crap posted here is just blatant Ads. In the words of mayorcastro I should say ThreADs. But reality is they are unimaginative weak attempts at circumventing ad posting limitations. So call them ThreADs is you like, I'll just call them pathetic, and very telling of how slow things are for the posters. Nothing screams out desperation like a weak ass ThreAD!

Well, that ambiguity is no more.
The owners have spoken and the following is their position concerning ThreAds...

Well, there's not....and that's not an oversight.
ECCIE is threAD friendly: what this means is that no staff is to take action against any post or thread that someone considers to be a threAD. Don't move it. Don't point or suspend the poster. Don't warn the member in any way...PM or in a post. If someone RTMs a post referring to it as a threAD, simply let them know that we do not take action on those types of posts and if they want to let the OP know in a respectful way, go ahead.....but again, I do not want any warnings coming from staff unless instructed to do so.
With that said, if the members want to express their distaste on a thread that they feel is blatant advertising, let them...within reason. Just don't let it get out of hand, meaning insults or other violations of forum guidelines.
Thanks for your cooperation,
St. C
So from this point forward I will handle all ThreAds as well as complaints against them as St. Chris as described.
I know there will be some that will disagree with this position but it is official policy so any resistance at this point would be, as the Borg would say, futile.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

I for one enjoy the threAD's it's better than some of the other self righteous BS that we get from other trolls on the board. ...IJS
And since it looks like the Owners/Admins/Mods seem to not have a problem with ThreAD's. Then it sounds like you no glove no love are in the minority and this seems to be an attack on a recent person that YOU don't seem to care for.
