I think this should be added to the terms of service :)

Hmmm, morning comes early, but I can't help but post a thought before I go to bed.

Ok let's hypothetically asssume that I have my own online gallery of fanart I want everyone here to know about. Could I post a link to it?

 

And what with online initiatives like petitions? They need advertising on forums and that's natural.

HERMOCRATES:

Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks

of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned.

 

SOCRATES:

This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

Technically every time we mention a game, we are advertising. When I linked the gameplay site for people from the UK (because they have a really good coming soon calender , that was advertising.

 

Care to be a bit more specific mr moderator ?

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

Most forums I know it is don't advertise if you are affiliated with the product you are advertising.

 

Hence:

 

Hey, this is a pretty good game!

 

is okay, whereas:

 

CHECK OUT THIS MOD I JUST FINISHED MAKING RLY KOOL!

 

is not.

I think it's more commercial advertising that's the problem. Every so often we get a silly link to some great new product or other accompanied by phony advice from the poster/bot. Promoting a site out of interest should be OK, in my opinion, as should linking to a commercial site as part of a discussion of their products, rather than as an overt 'Look at this and buy!' post.

The problem is that we get people/bots who come here to do nothing but advertise a new commercial site or product, that is not allowed and those people will be banned ASAP.

 

 

 

You are allowed to link to your own websites, online galleries, petitions, sites about a specific game etc. as long as it isnt for the purpouse of getting us to buy a product or score more hits

 

Recruiting to other forums etc. for no specific reason at all is generally frowned upon but it is not against forum regulations to do so.
