I think it's that it should all be in one line, putting line breaks between everything wastes space. I read about it somewhere, and I'll try to find it for you.
Nothing about line breaks,
But I do find it distracting...
Got a tip for us?

The signature can't be longer than 6 lines, so you're getting pretty close, but you're still legal right now.
whew...thanks for the update, you had me concerned i was doing something wrong.
Well, thats good to know. But whatever you lot decide to do, please do it soon. Right now 11 of the top 15 posts are all for damn codes of one kind or another.. Its just down right annoying to see so much of it.
Maybe we need a single sticky post where people put all their game codes. If they don't like it, they can clear off elsewhere, in my opinion!
As for supporting developers, I think this is great! But only for non profit start-ups. If someone is promoting an app for sale, then it should be treated as advertising, because that is exactly what it is. No ifs, no buts.
I think its sad that this forum has been allowed to degenerated into a promotional spam forum and game code forum for kids.
It really isn't impossible to sort this out. I fail to see why it is taking so long..
We will be addressing this issue in the very near future (within the next few days at the most), so please hang in there.

Thank you very much.
The App Store thread is really taking a hit, with all these game code threads.

As a marketing guy, I'd be redirecting this traffic to Arn's app site and monetizing it.
I'm afraid I have to agree with the general sentiment here; the App Store sub-forum has become a dumping ground of late, and I've resorted to blocking 133 in my User Options to keep the absurd amount of clutter down. The shame is there's also a number of useful Apps I've learned about in that sub-forum.
Software Codes Sub-Forum?
Not to rain on anybody's parade, but is there any way to vote on the creation of a sub-forum under Apps for "App Codes"? I used to enjoy coming into the Apps forum to surf for new titles and read inquiries about apps I may already have to help others, but it's become so clouded with software developers offering free codes that it's making it difficult to do any true surfing in here for threads not offering codes.
Anyone want to add thoughts?

Vote me in, I have asked for this a couple of times to the webmasters
I think a poll is needed badly.
I added a poll, go ahead and vote if you'd like.
I'm not trying to shake things up, I just think the code threads have gotten ridiculous in here (albeit for good reasons - for app promotion). But it's taking away from the ease of surfing the forum for non-code threads. I get a lot of app ideas for downloading by seeing what people write otherwise.
Thanks for posting in here!

I merged two existing threads on this topic, but the poll is still available. As I mentioned earlier, this is actively being worked on, so hang in there just a little bit longer.

I COMPLETELY apologize for starting a thread of this nature in the Apps forum, sometimes I forget to dive deeper into the MacRumors forums site to check the site suggestions...haha
That being said, I'm glad it's being worked on. Between the game codes and the app codes (announcing releases), it's 'nauseating' as someone else said.
Anyhow, looking forward to having a cleaned up Apps forum soon!

Too Many Posts With Free Codes
I used to enjoy reading this forum but it has degenerated into a free for all of App developers posting free codes. Can these either be banned or moved to a dedicated area so I can go back to reading about genuine items of interest.

So developers are posting threads that many people enjoy, that don't break any rules and get a ton of views; but YOU don't like it so we should ban it or accommodate YOU. WTH?
To avoid having parallel discussions, we'll close this thread and let discussion continue in the announcement thread. Thanks.
