No paid hacks rule

[akanevsky]

... is, in my opinion, pretty much pointless... Here's why:

- Advertising paid work does not harm neither this community nor its staff, as long as it has something to do with vB. It does benefit those who want what is in advertising.
- Some work is worth too much time to do for free. If some people do not value their time - it's their freedom not to value it, but it is also the freedom of others to request payment for it.
- If a piece of work is something userful, a person who created it must have an ability to tell the world about it. In case of vB hacks, there is no better place than this community. If a coder would do the same through a site, he would have to let people know about that site first. Which again would have to do with advertising..
- Posting advertising posts does not make a purchase obligatory.
- Posting advertising posts just makes all the hacks (paid and non-paid) centerred in one location, which benefits the community and esspecially those, who are willing to pay..

Considering everything I said above, what is the point in restricting advertisements of vB hacks?
