They like you are guided by the rules that sales are not recommended.
I'll summarize, and then apparently clumsy translation does not give a complete picture:
The system of extensions works only for the sake of the informers, sellers of merits and accounts, generators of 100500 meaningless messages (I cited an example) and other dubious personalities. Which do not benefit the community. That is, the only beneficiaries are the dregs of the community.
All that is really useful, appeared when the forum consisted of enthusiasts.
