Above post is deliberate. It's more of a response than we've had isn't it?

It seems a good idea to me. Nobody is being forced to do it and it aids the community as a whole. Not bothered whether they have badges or not.

Bit of a fuss created over nothing   I've worked with many sites and communities over the years and have never received a penny for it. I volunteer to give something back to sites I use a lot. Spam is a total pain in the ass for staff of any site,especially as many spam accounts post normally for a while before spamming,or they quote posts and hide links inside a single letter.

I can't see the chosen four doing much different in that respect. Good decision by RW HQ or whatever it is

Maybe so TN - but once more RW appear to have asked for support and/or involvement from the forum, got it in terms of feedback and generous offers of time and effort from some, and then cleared off and left everyone to it.

I would still like a reply to my questions, as it was suggested that there may be some feedback from RW.  I accept that I wont get a personal reply to the email I sent but to not come back on to the thread where you asked for input is just plain rude.
