Default Re: Viral Ad Campaigns

Even so, if you're going to post something that is basically an ad, tell us it is an ad. Don't pretend you are posting out of some vague concern when in reality you're trying to drum up business. Think this kinda falls into the thread not too long ago about misleading titles.

In a sticky, Jan says, "There is a fine line between providing information to members and posting what looks like an advertisement. It's more often than not a judgment call by the administrators as to what to leave and what to remove. We do have advertisers who pay to run their banners here on TOTV. As you can see, one of them is a car dealership." How this post is not an ad, I'm not quite sure.

Even though Secure Foundations has a running ad, I, too, think the post should have been pulled. Sorry, guys.
