My opinion is they are a necessary evil. :) We need them, the free ones are fine too.
While I don't appreciate the reward police crew and those who attack success, each of us can only allocate what we own or control through delegation.
While I really dislike how some are using them I have to remember it is just an annoyance and not real damage.
I'm not answering the poll, because I think there are pros and cons with the free downvotes and I think this phase will pass.
