Is that correct?
It's direction regarding the structure and purpose of the proposed forum. Just like if a 'Airlines of Russia' forum was created but was also meant to include CIS airlines, but not Baltic airlines, and making it clear that it's for discussion of the airlines in general, not a subforum or master thread for S7, Aeroflot, etc.

There are NO anti-moderator conspiracies at play here. Just trying to be as clear as possible about structure and purpose.

Also do you propose that Makers of tools covered by this forum would not be allowed to post about their products anywhere else in FT, for example in the middle of another thread where they might reference their tool/service/product?
Well, I, for one, might post in mileage run that I found something and mention that I found it on KVS. Or on COdbaUA about finding a distinct lack of R availability on SeatExpert.

But if I wanted to talk about HOW I found those things on those tools, I ought to do it in the proposed forum. @:-)
