I think the threads you may be referencing are not only threads dealing with questionable activities related to P2P, but were threads revived from two to three years ago. In one case, the three year old thread was revived by someone who read through the entire conversation that had drifted to reading the FAQ and not reviving ancient threads.

For some reason, there was a particular rash of those this last week or so. The ones that got negged and banned, btw, were the ones that just didn't seem to get it and ignored the PMs and advice.
