I'm trying to compile a list of forums and communities where such posts are more welcome. This is even what badbear suggested. Hop in and give me your suggestions.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=725376.msg8195945#msg8195945

Are you certain about this, Alani?
I doubt Theymos would be happy to hear that.
Bitcointalk relies on the traffic generated by the altcoin forum. I would be surprised if Theymos would willingly allow this traffic to go elsewhere.

Mods here are doing more than allowing the traffic to go somewhere else, they're telling it to go somewhere else. This forum is no longer allowing users to post the information that miners and traders need. Thus, we are forced to disseminate to competitor forums.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
I've yet to see a single mod chasing users away from Bitcointalk.
Bitcointalk needs the alternative currency section to stay relevant, aside from the revenue the traffic generates.
There is a reason behind this silly rule - and I personally think it has more to do with SEO than anything else (I think the administrators are afraid of being penalized by Google for link spamming).
