Unfortanetly, We're Moderating Now

I can take the spam. It's easy to spot, so we don't have to put a ton of effort into moderating that part even if it sneaks on.

While there are plenty of venues to discuss opinions about vendors and individuals, this is not one of them. Using this network as a place to try to cast allegations towards someone can't happen.

I apologize both to Stan…
