when being told not to post there many seem to get overly defensive.

maybe is the way they are being told? i know the intentions behind the comments left on those posts are to help but a "hey your post about x subject and should be better posted on x community" could read better if were something like "Hey we are focusing on helping communities grow and here is a post that explains it all link to post, we think your posts could fit x community".

i think you guys are assuming people read but LOL a lot of them dont so they dont know about the community incubation project you are carrying and take the "please dont post here" comments the wrong way.
