i mean.... i dunno where i stand on this one, i understand that advertising a similar site on this one is bad for business, and is ethically wrong, and doing so should result in a warning or minor ban, however i do believe private messages should be kept private and regardless people "snitch" on it, it shouldnt not be looked upon. But at the end of the day the decision on how to run/manage this site lies with Paul, he is the one who has put alot into it, and he's the one who will suffer the losses caused by doing this so as he said its not a democracy and whether or not we like how he runs it we should respect his wishes.
just my
