Is Advertising in the Forum Actually Allowed?

I've noticed that some people have advertised with forum topics before, but haven't gotten in trouble. Does that mean that it isn't an official rule that you can't advertise? Or can I just not find the evidence against it?

*patiently waits for mod to say something*

?

I see. Thanks

Do any mods want to answer?

no

lol Do they know?

This is what former mod @David said about all this~

"You can create a post advertising something in the right category in the public forums and bump that every so often, but don't create multiple threads about it.

You can also mention it as a postscript when posting something relevant in a completely different thread, but don't do that in every post because that's (a) spam and (b) makes it clear that the main intention is advertising rather than contributing to the discussion."

Mentioning a club infrequently in Clubs and Teams is usually not an issue. Club invites elsewhere can be treated as spam.
