a lot of us do but this kind of advertising has been happening for quite a while now and I see a lot of this in the gambling section. sadly there are no rules prohibiting this kind of advertising(unless it is a referral link which is against the forum rules) but you can always press the report moderator.
The forum has rule regarding this kind of advertising. (See the quoted post below)
22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads. [8]
So, it is not allowed to advertise in other threads. It is only allowed to advertise services in some specific boards (only in the thread started by the user, not in other threads) like gambling, services, ANN threads, etc.
I usually report posts including links to other websites made for advertising purposes and they are always marked as good.
According to a post made by mprep, there are only some exceptions in altcoins announcements that are as follows.
As per this shift, the following type of posts are now allowed in coin threads:
- Posts about block explorers. ("Here is a new block explorer for this coin" type posts)
- If a service comes up in a disussion and directly related to the coin, it's allowed
- "We're up" messages for pools (if it's only once per thread)
- "This exchange added coin" type posts for exchanges (again, if it's only once per thread)
