Lately it has become an issue that people are increasingly advertising their own forums, websites, and similar in places it simply doesn't belong. I'd like to take a quick moment to review when and where you can advertise, and when and where you can't.

What You Can't Do

  • You may NOT advertise your own forum, website, product, chat/IRC, or similar over the Victory Road Chat, by Private Messaging, or by Visitor Messaging more than a few people (or anyone who isn't your friend).
  • You may NOT advertise your own forum or chat/IRC in the advertisement board.
  • You may NOT advertise a chat/IRC anywhere on Victory Road.
  • You may NOT advertise a Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or anything similar for any of the above.

What You Can Do
  • You may advertise your own forum, website, product, or a Facebook/Myspace/Twitter/etc. page for any of the above (except chat/IRC) in your signature. However, it must not violate the signature rules.
  • You may advertise your own website, product, or your own personal Twitter/Youtube/etc. in the advertisement board.

Actually, advertising a chat or IRC anywhere on Victory Road is not allowed. (Post edited.)

You said they can't advertise Twitter on all the above (including Advertising Board) then you said you may. That is confusing. Can you please elaborate?

He means that you cannot advertise accounts and such that are tied to a forum.

Sounds easy to understand. Luckily I don't have anything to advertise on. XD.

Are we allowed to TALK about it? JC said we could and then I got an infraction.

I think we need clarification on VR's definition of advertising.
(I got ninja'd by RotomGuy, but his case is partly the reason why I'm putting this forward.)

Just as a side notice: anyone who breaks these rules will be immediately receiving an infraction. FreezeWarp has made it clear when and where advertising is allowed on the forums, so there should be no excuses.

Sounds good to me. It doesn't matter since I really don't advertise anything.

I might have accidentally said that, but you should know that I have an issue with typos. (I make a lot of them)
