Josh,

As pointed out, this is a member moderated community and the majority is ruling in favor of CC right now.

The best advice I can provide is to (if CC is really bothering you THAT much):

- Click on 'User CP'
- Go to Buddy/Ignore Lists and ignore CC if you like.

The feature is there for a reason and you may want to take advantage of it if you don't want to listen to 'CC' as you've stated.
