[wp-forums] Ethical practices of consultants

[Joni Mueller]

I agree. 

The key is to simply let everyone know what the rules are, especially the members who might not be aware that unsolicited offlist contact is grounds for reprimand at the least and banning at worst.  And that they have a way to bring this behavior to the attention of forum mods.

Any "web professional" who has been entertaining the notion of pulling such a stunt is also on notice of the consequences of doing so.

If we take it off the forums, we might as well not do it, since the problem here is unethical consultants preying on forum users.
