Juli, I wasn't on DG when people were getting kicked off for that, but it's a really good point you make. If people are just posting photos of their new introductions, and not interacting at all, then it just turns into a "ad", and that would be sad.
I still haven't explored everything on this site, so I'm not sure what all is available, but I did like the section on DG where you could post plants for sale. If people were trying to sell their items in the regular forum, I can see nudging them to the "for sale" area, but just using the forums as a place to advertise would be bad!
