That's a terrible attitude for them to have. There's usually only two reasons people sign up to a forum, one is to try to sell something, and the other is to find help or advice. Why do they think new members have bothered to register on their forum in the first place? No one initially registers on a business or technical forum for the community spirit, the community aspect comes afterwards when members become familiar with each other. Some forum communities seem to forget their raison d'être.
