Now, lets say I came in here and just preached an agenda, albeit a noble cause, it would be a subject matter against forum rules, for example politics, or health care system, or any of the usual no-no subject matters, but those that were for the good and benefit of millions.
A moderator would kindly ask me to remove my posts and inform me of my breach in rules and regulations.
What a failure of an explanation. You really aren't any good at this at all.
A more accurate comparison would be if a "forum celeb" came here, posted just like anybody else with relevant replies to existing topics, but included a few pics/banners related to his cause in his avatar and signature. No big deal unless someone else starts a new thread with the purpose of pointing out those pics/banners.
Team Radioshack wore those jerseys for their fans only. Swapping jerseys only took a few minutes and nobody else in the peleton cared about the exceedingly minor holdup.
