I don't see it as a good point personally, just as pointing out difficulties. Obviously creating a separate forum won't stop abuse, and some posters will still have to be corrected when they make mistakes, willful or not. Obviously the definition of "abuse" requires interpretation. That's why we need moderators.
It still doesn't change the fact that creating a separate forum will make it easier:
- for people who like self-promotion threads to find them
- for people who don't like them to avoid them
- for mods to deal with self-promotion threads
Again, it doesn't mean that we will suddenly live in a perfect world. It's just a practical measure that shouldn't be very hard to implement and will make life a little bit easier for most users.
