Dean C,

You need to step back and take a very close look at what this thread was created for and then read over your last post again, since it was very uncalled for.

First, discussions about commercial threads are definately allowed on vb.org, however the rules state that the author of the commercial hack can not start a thread to promote his own hack. If you find a commercial hack that is great, you are allowed to start a thread to discuss it. In my case, this thread was NOT created to promote anything at all. Read the title "Name our hack". It is a thread to get ideas for a name of a hack I am working on. I am not promoting anything in the title, nor am I saying to buy a hack, where you can find it, etc.

Umm... once again. READ the thread over. I specifically state that I was warned and contacted twice by admins that I can't discuss commercial hacks or promote anything. I have edited posts to reflect this. So.. how is this any different from your situation?

No, it was not created for the sole purpose of gaining hype. If I wanted to gain hype I would have called the thread title "PROFILE HACK! GET IT NOW!" and then promoted it to death in the body of the thread. This, I did not do.

I suggest you either suggest a name, or leave. Thanks.
