Sponsored threads are not a good idea.
 

First off, what does mattresses have to do with overeaters anonymous?

Nothing.

Secondly, we don't commercialize OA. Using the OA name to sell mattresses, or anything for that matter, goes against the basic tenants of all 12 step groups.

You'all have the right to do what ever you want with your website. But I also have the right to never, ever, ever, visit here again. I will not drive clicks on a deceitful webpage. And that's what it is to put advertising in the actual threads, allowing marketers to openly act like they are participants when they are not. It causes confusion between what is an advertizement and what is actual user-driven content.

This will be my last entry on this website.
