If someone is going to personally or financially benefit by the post it would be considered a commercial post. Advertisers pay to promote their business here and that is what supports the cost of operating the site. To commercially post without being an advertiser is stealing from the site and those contributing advertisers and sponsors here.
Only 2 businesses have a ban on the site for good reason out of the hundreds or thousands that have been posted.

I don't see a double standard here. I thought that the Admin already explained that only two businesses have been banned on this site and why (see above). It sounds reasonable to me.
