What bothers me is that the "problem"--nondisclosure--could have been easily addressed with an added sentence in each freebie post, causing perhaps some slight inconvenience to the poster, but letting the rest of us continue without disruption. If the poster forgot the disclosure, the post could be edited to add it.
Now, the entire community is disrupted, the people who post freebies are marginalized and vilified, and we are all inconvenienced--including the moderators, who now have to police the non-"Affiliate Links" threads more closely looking for forbidden affiliate tags. All for what purpose? Why was the most onerous solution chosen?
