Would that, in your opinion, have a chance to be reconsidered to advertise in the forum?

I guess it will be accepted by theymos, but he is the one making the rules (he said about KYC, not about "blockchain analytics company", so I don't know if it is treated differently or not). Because if I would be the one to decide, I wouldn't ban mixers. However, I wouldn't start running a centralized forum in the first place, so I am not the right person to make that decision.

I just noticed the part of theymos' post that had "not requiring KYC" indicated. OK, then how about if a centralized entity or the BitcoinTalk community set up and operate a coordinator for Wasabi which collects fees for coordinating CoinJoins. If the administrators of the coordinating service decides to advertise in the forum, would such a service be allowed?

I believe it's debatable, but it could be reconsidered. Running a coordinating service could be part of the evolution of Bitcoin mixing/tumbling.

From OP,

Examples of things that are not banned mixers include exchangers (unless they have a mixing function), CoinJoin-supporting non-custodial wallets, and Monero.

Why would it be forbidden to advertise a coordinator? Wasabi is already allowed because it's non-custodial and a coordinator is a part of that setup so as such I don't see why it would be forbidden.

It shouldn't be, no? It's probably the best, or THE only, chance for the forum's privacy advocates to advertise a mixing service in BitcoinTalk.

But perhaps it's better to consult with theymos first.

Only would it be a problem if the coordinator took funds of the coinjoin into custody.

What do you mean? If the administrators took fees from the service? I believe that won't be a problem. zkSNACKS also does that, to support their developers. A community-operated coordinator could also take fees to support the operators/admins, and also use it for advertising and marketing.
