Howdy folks,
For a long, long time now (over a year) we've had sticky threads in the marketplace forums asking people to stop posting "great design", "good luck", "person x is a great designer, buy this!" and posts of that nature, or they'd get deleted.
Today, I finally got around to finally adding this guideline into the rules proper. This should not affect the vast majority of people, who are more than happy to stick to business within the marketplace. However there are a few people who consistently feel it necessary to post in (what seems like) every sale topic, recommending the designer with a plethora of praise.
So the only real change is that the guideline is now a rule, with a fixed, associated punishment for every time it happens. Lets keep our marketplace as tidy as possible. If you feel the urge to celebrate someone's design or coding prowess, you could always start a topic in the more general, chatty forums or snuggle up via PM.
