Exactly, in the last few posts I have seen (not this one in particular, though) it does seem like the option of A_B has been used as a form of blackmail. "Do this or I'll post you on A_B if you don't." It just comes off as really rude and tactless.
I can understand going "Here's a deadline, I expect you to meet it" politely, and when it fails, "The deadline has passed, I'm afraid I'll have to post you to artists_beware for not cooperating." There's a lot more tact in that because the chance was GIVEN already.
I just think leaving it out altogether is better from a business perspective. I wouldn't want to start any potential drama by mentioning this community, even though it's NOT a drama comm.
