I have been posting here for a couple of years now, and I have never seen the section called "The Soapbox." In fact, I only noticed it tonight because I happened to see that several posts had been moved from the "Selling" forum to a place called "The...
Resolved! How do you get ahold of a Manager of the community with a complaint?
