It's so frustrating as we are about the most whitehat site on the internet. We do not promote or advertise anything. We fund the forum out of our own pockets. Whilst some of our competitors are unethical spammers, we are not. We work hard to prevent any spammers getting through. Yet we are the ones Google decides to punish.

I have resubmitted to Google for reconsideration about 5 times so far, each time making the site even more Google friendly. Yet they reject us with an automated response stating that we should follow their guidelines. We do, fully. I have begged for a reason from them, or any hint at all. They don't provide it.
I just hope that will soon get sick of me asking in their support forums and give me a break.
