All true.  And yeah, it would be really nice if we could just whack away.  I 
understand why we can't.  Then again, I can't say I disagree, because I really 
hate censorship myself.  It's the commercialism stuff that I object to most. 
Sure, people (friends of mine even!) offer theme customization etc. for money - 
but they don't blatantly post it....

For your #1 bug above, that's the sort of thing I've sort of started moderating 
under the "no sigs" guise when I can.  If any way it can be done logically (and 
sometimes it can't of course).  But monkeyKing got the point in only 4 posts, so 
there's hope!
