As others have pointed out, I'm not sure the posters will restrict themselves to that one spot to post... they'll continue to post where they like, and just find more inventive ways to do it.
Again, I just don't have the problems others have with ads in the first place... and let's face it, this isn't about giving ads an exalted place of honor, easy for people to find... but a way to lock them out of sight and out of mind. It's another way of saying, "Keep yer stinkin' ads away from me!" even when the ads are appropriate to the site, or to the thread. I'm not sure how much I approve of that, myself... it just seems like a blanket punishment of anyone trying to promote a product, and essentially unfair.
Of course, it's not my website, and if the mods decide that's the way to go, that's their prerogative. We just get to decide whether we like that direction or not, and act accordingly.
