I have not been a member of this community long enough to really have a valued opinion but I would like to add my vote to the "against censoring" option, I live and work in China and have enough of that. However some sort of moderation may be a solution, as pointed out by others.
To the OP, you seem to have a point, I have also noted in some forum questions the reply is far from helpful and often a cheap promo of a business. Promotion is fine, but in the right place, I have replied to a couple of forum questions and have made it a conscious effort not to push my services. I am not MLM or GRQ, we are a legit business, as are many others here it seems.
As for your comment on the get rich quick, well, it may be a hard line, but if people are stupid enough to believe [as you head line] then they are too stupid to be in business! I am not sure I agree with the comments on begging letters though, small business, I mean a real SB can be a lonely and difficult task and sometimes, especially for beginners, these forums are a lifeline for suggestions and advice when all else seems too be failing. It would disappoint me to think that we can't lend a hand to a fellow business person, let alone a human being when they are asking for help. I don't believe it is an automatic link to the person not having done research, homework or being ill prepared, business is unpredictable and sometimes, just sometime you can't cover all bases and a quick reply from someone who has been there done that is really needed.
Just my few RMB's worth!
