I would just like to know what this board is for

The way this board mainly has been used is as a depository for biotech (and related) news which are not company specific or for which there are no other obvious boards available.

Company-specific messages (especially if issued by the company in question) is frowned upon and generally not welcomed. Most readers here would look upon that as spamming (as you have noted). If the poster's intention is to raise the awareness of the company in question, he or she will most probably achieve just the opposite. Most of us are tired of all the different types of spam that encounter us over the Internet and a spam-message regarding a biotech (or other) company will just act as a confirmation, that the company is probably not worth looking at.

In FMTI's case I can confess, that I have not even bothered to read them, as they clearly don't belong here.

If you have news that you would like to share or archive you should preferably do that on the company-specific or on the concerned indication board.
