This was added at the time to prevent advertising-only posts in the Martketplace. This way, we could remove those, and keep the forum for members who were willing to discuss their products, including the development. That was years ago, and at the time it was successful, so we don't enforce this as rigidly as we did it at the time.
Patrick, I wrote earlier that criticism towards sellers is allowed, only we look more closely at it, and demand more restrictions of the posters, that's all. Past experiences have made us more cautious, and your examples are indeed from the time before that. Times changed, so did the rules, but that does not mean you have to remain silent about your experiences. It's just so we want to make certain that warnings are justified and complaints correct. Likewise, we don't allow sellers to wrongfully accuse customers either!
I hope you see that I really understand your argument, I hope you see our points too.
