I get it - pool advertising is a little over the top.

Why don't you just ban the worst offenders rather than punish ever single other pool owner who just makes ONE post in the ANN thread.

You have pools that spam the ANN threads 10 times with their pool info, in 800x600 image format with 2 full pages of unnecessary fluff - then you have pool owners who pop in to say " XYZ pool added this coin with the connection string below" - and I see that as a benefit to this community not a detriment.

(also just realized this is an older post and the rule is largely being disregarded and unenforced)

It's very much still being enforced. Small single-time pool and exchange announcements are fine, as stated in OP. If you happen to notice any ad-like or repeated pool or other service announcement posts, use the "Report to Moderator" feature to notify the staff team.
