I agree that I do not like commercialising this community thread and someone is profiting from this. Being a staff makes this worse.

The success of this thread comes from the overview table and the original idea and design is not even OP's. It is mine. He cannot claim rights to something that is not his in the beginning. I suggested the table format and coded it (on page 3), thinking I am helping the community. Now it is helping a staff member to profit from other member's views.

If the ads are helping bitcoin startups for free, it would be ok. Now, a staff member's thread is advertising accounts trading!
