Hey AB de Royse777, did you read the thread? Especially the analysis that Despairo has done? Because it seems you haven't. Here the question is not whether the posts are constructive. The issue is that the manager is sending PMs to participants to tell them that he doesn't pay them because (he invents) posting in the gambling section is forbidden, when it doesn't say that anywhere in the OP. In fact it doesn't say it in those excluded boards you quote, which normally, and as it is written, means that if you write in those boards you won't get paid for the posts there, not that if you write 1 post in a section you won't get paid for any post of the week.
