Marketplace Discussions Rule Clarification - Mafius - Jun 25, 2017
I'm seeking some clarification on the second rule
Quote: 2. You cannot use this section to advertise.
As threads like this https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5350906 seem like straight up advertisements.
What exactly does the rule mean? What is and isn't allowed?

Advertising a sales thread, they aren't selling anything but providing a SELLING platform/autobuy site

That's more of a support/dev thread doe.
Of course, they should explain their service and have a banner and such.

Isn't that covered by the first rule though?
Quote:1. Do not use this section for buying, selling, or promoting your existing marketplace thread.
Edit: before this gets quoted further, I'm saying that advertising of marketplace threads is covered under the first rule, so that likely isn't the meaning of the second rule.

What this user stated. They aren't selling anything here just providing information on the platform they run, such features, plans, etc.

But they don't have an existing marketplace thread?

That's not what I meant, I'm saying that advertising of marketplace threads is covered by the first rule, so that probably isn't the meaning of the second rule.

Sadly not really they are explaining a website that offers a service that people can benefit from for real sale threads. They do not have a sales thread as they don't truly sell anything (Except premium on the service)

So the first rule covers promoting a sales thread, i.e. HEY I LAUNCHED THIS SERVICE OPINION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CHECK IT OUT HERE<lINK>.
The 2nd rule covers straight up selling in that area, i.e. Hey I am selling x accounts because I dont have rep to post in the proper area (Just an example)

Again.. isn't that already covered by the first rule?

In other words, you can advertise whatever products you want in marketplace discussions as long as you make it a support thread.
Let's watch the premium sellers take advantage of this.

No. The first rule covers
Quote:your existing marketplace thread.
Not making one in that section. To you and use it would be common sense, but it's the internet Omni/Staff want to make rules cover all bases so when they lay down the hammer it's justified.

That is NOT TRUE.
Thread moved to the correct section.
