Lightninghash.com here and I agree with you.

Pool ops should be allowed to post once in a thread to announce a pool setup for a specific coin
Pools should not be allowed to post several times the same info over and over again.
Pools should not post anns with large fonts in colors and graphics, let's keep it simple and clean for everyone.

These are good rules.

The mods are doing a huge disservice to the mining community.
Also I am confused on the new rules and want some clarification.

They deleted a lot of my posts but left others up.
