Default Should Pay themes be allowed

Please Login to Remove!

Ok I saw a thread that some of the mods want to ban paid themes because of the problems the threads cause. I say ban the people who are causing the problem not the themers (unless of course they are the problem).

I was just curious as to what others thought about this.

The poll is simple.

1 Ban paid themes all together
2 Ban the trouble makers
3 make the themers pay for advertising.
4 I dont care.

4 - I am at the point where I could care less about it anymore, between members and moderators complaining about it I'm about to petition RIM to just use text based menus from now on... besides on my BB that is.

I say Ban the trouble maker if someone wants to charge for their work and effort by al means they are entitled. If another members doesn't want to pay then they can get the Theme builder and build their own themes

I agree with you. I dont buy themes but I am not against any one selling them.

I originally stated the idea of punishing the trouble makers, and that is what I casted my vote for.

Ditto that!! If you don't want them, don't buy them, that simple.

I almost go with don't care because I don't get the fuss over themes. But my opinion is exhaust all efforts to just make people behave before doing the other.

Let them do what they want. If you don't want to buy it, don't. This issue really does not bother me.

I agree. I only use TMo Zen and everything else is gone to save space. IMO, 3rd party themes only open up the device to having hidden problems caused by the theme.

I think there should be a seperate forum for paid themes and free themes on the top page of BBForums. This way it is easy to navigate to either one.
