Just thought it might be of interest to people who support Leicestershire. I don't do it for profit, I do it for the fans, so if you are not interested don't visit!
Think of it like this.
If you want to promote an event to your local community, you might have some posters printed to put in local shop windows.
If you go into your local corner shop and ask nicely they may allow you to put your poster for free - especially if you're a customer.
But if you just wander in, put the poster up without asking permission, and then leave, not even buying anything, you'd expect them just to take it down immediately. But you wouldn't do that would you, it's not polite. So why do people think they have the right to free advertising on someone's website - without ever having to contribute to the website?
One of the rules you agreed to is this:
"If you wish to advertise your own website, you can add it to your profile. Anyone who joins the forum just to promote their own website will be banned."
So you really should understand why it pisses me off when someone breaks this rule with their first post.
Maybe once you've run your own forum for a while and have to put up with people signing up almost on a daily basis just to post spam, you'll realise why this policy is in place.
