Before I say anything else, let me be clear about something. I do think that you should suport developers and buy the game if you like it.
That being said, if someone is having a problem running a game, more often than not I see "if you bought thbe game, you wouldn't have this problem" posts.
At the least it's needless chastising. At the worst it's downright inflammitory. Either way, comments like that add nothing to the conversation OR to help fix the problem.
Most of the time it's a seed to start a flamewar, so subtle it can't be called flamebaiting.
Normally I wouldn't make a suggestion about certain kinds of posts to make their way into the rules, but really, these sorts of posts are very common and by no stretch of the imagination are they needed or pertain to the topic in which they are posted.
I suggest these kinds of comments be a warnable offense.
