It's hard for me to really get annoyed at things online. Especially a forum.

No. I don't get annoyed when people ask me for a review or something. Just like what bogs said, It's a community... And it would be a big pleasure to hand a help...

Surely that goes with the territory. You place a post in the Market Place to drum up business for your site, you shouldn't complain when you get noticed and people want to check you out. Use it to your advantage. The trick is to convert the requests into business.
Change your mindset. Its an opportunity, seize it!

If there's a designated place for it, I love people asking for reviews. There are so many crappy websites in the world, if I can give someone a little advice and make some visitors' experiences a bit happier, I think the universe gets a little better! Yes, it is annoying when people ask for reviews without giving back, but I love the V7 policy about how you have to give reviews before requesting them, that seems like the best way to get some balance.

You just have to look past it. You have to start somewhere and once you get the scragglers out of the way. I am sure you will be onto nothing but profit.

I think at what cheapsubmission is getting at is "free review copies" of scripts/ebooks and the like, and I do kind of agree.
You spend time and effort creating an item, and the people want a free review copy. They set up a site exploiting what you've done and the best they give back is "It's good". The worst they do is "This is what the e-book says".
I dunno. It doesn't seem so bad in this forum compared to others. Maybe it's just me though
