In essence, news and announcements posted anywhere on the GWW Community will now be instantly deleted, without exception, no special rules, no favoritism, no exception, this levels the playing field for all of our community members and allows those companies who are actively supporting your community to get their information to you quicker, with more ease, and without having to worry that someone will 'jack' their thread.
I don't get this at all Lee. If the men and women who make up this community can't talk about their business unless they're a paid sponsor, how is that "leveling the playing field"? WE are the ones actively supporting this community just as much, if not more so, as the guy that forks over $$ for a banner every month.

In addition, by focusing all of the attention of news and announcements at their own unique destination, it means that the GWW Community overall will be a much cleaner and more business orientated place for all of us.
While I can appreciate that you want to get a new board going, I don't think it's right to expect we all want to register there or use it on a daily basis to find out what's happening with GWW members and their programs. I hit 2 boards daily - maybe. Now you want me to find time to go to yet another one for information that should be HERE.

I can certainly respect that the drive-by-1 post-wonder needs his ass redirected to a spam section, but I don't feel that should apply to the regular contributors of this board. Those of us that are here daily expect and want to know what others are doing. Our sites ARE our business.

And with the spam section essentially eliminated, we can't even SEE if someone here has made an announcement.

Just my 2cents
