Then the rules should be fresh in your mind then one of them being no spam posting. Anyways this thread should be closed soon as I have reported it.
I gotta say this is, IMHO a good, legitimate post. It's about linux, it doesn't profit toddlisonbee, and it helps the open source movement of which Linux is the brainchild, pet-project, whatever you wanna call it. This post may be a promo post but I think in this case it's valid.
Originally posted by toddlisonbee I'm sorry, I did not think this was spam.
1) It is a legitimate project.
2) It is non-profit.
3) It is related to Linux and seems to fall under the topic "Linux - General"
If my post is unacceptable for some reason by all means delete it.
(Although, it would be helpful to me to know why it is unacceptable if that is the case).
Thank you.

Well Linux related or not you sign up for something then you have to make purchases with promises of reward for doing so and in the process giving away personal information, in my mind that makes it spam and I reported it as such if the powers that be disagree with me then fine.
