iluvmycaptain, although as mods go you couldn't call me strict.
If the user wants nifty graphics or whatever, they can pay a marginal fee to get a paid account. It's been this way since forever, right? So if I want to create a community about how much I love iced tea, and banned anyone who said bad things about iced tea, that'd be fine, right?

(Sponsored features, OTOH . . . I can very easily see how that could be an issue.)
