Yeah, it sounds like they're handling the spamming thing the wrong way. They should just keep it to PM's unless the problem is really rampant. But to cut off any reference to a non sponsor is ridiculous. Most people trying to mod their cars don't have the funds to pay the sponsor prices, plain and simple. And I will say that I've bought stuff from several of their sponsors because they had the best deal. A non sponsor is not going to undercut some of the prices, it seems to be more of a services issue. And when you come down to labor rates, that's all over the place and you still have a quality of work issue. But I still haven't seen a message board that has even 1/2 of the number of sponsors that board has so you know it's a business, not just a tech board.
