If the AC Forum is to remain as quirky, unique and helpful as it is, then threads like giving away AC certs need to remain in that forum.
At the risk of draging this thread OT, why is it this FTer gets to slur another member with a serious attack such as this:

Maybe FT should be set up where you can be banned from only specific forums and not others? Then again the weekend trolls will just jump from forum to forum causing problems.
while others have been banned for what have been arguably more minor infractions? If the rules are to be applied, they should be applied fairly. And don't misunderstand as I'm not pretending in any way shape or form I'm as pure as the driven slush here in YEG, but I've never directed such a direct personal attack on another poster's character as was done in this case. Deleting the offending passage and issuing a warning, if that was done, seems a light sentence given the gravity of the post.
But that's just my two cents and this board is ultimately RP's to run as he sees fit.
