I am confused about posting banners & promotions.  I understand that doing that to promote an affiliate or discount code is against the rules.  Why do I see banners and promos all over the forum.  I erroneously posted one when I first joined and was chastized and insulted by the replies I got.  I understand that I didn't obey the rules which I am now well aware of but the nastiness of the replies caught me off guard.  It seems that the members are militant and have a "my way or the highway" attitude.  If they don't agree with something, they attack.  I am getting out of here for good.
