Will do. I'm not aware of any that are any more, a month or two ago there were many that did. I like the proactive approach that was taken if this is the case.

I'm not trying to call out any companies but I just went to a few sites near the top of the supplier's list and more than one may not be in compliance with this.

dos, i think ill ask SJ about this and if it is still valid.

Lordmage, none of the sites that I looked at were as blatant as the ones I saw 3-4 months ago, but according to the rules you posted they may not be in compliance. Again I'm not going to name the companies. Alas this has gone OT, maybe it needs a thread of it's own, or like you said, maybe it should be clarified with SJ first.

The term for that is:

I get paid with lulz. To be straight though, I don't troll what I use. I'd never troll these forums for example.
