I couldn't agree more with you, Indy. I've seen a lot of this going on with other forum population services and I think it's appalling. However, with the dedicated forum as well as the order notes, you can specify that writers must not post in the general discussion. A lot of our writers also like to post freebies so you may see some in general discussions but there is absolutely no way we will count those towards their total if you have specified otherwise. We have 3 individuals who thoroughly check over the posts.
