I have seen that this forum does not consider it inappropriate when some member makes a post or thread about a competing forum. I am a member of other popular forums and they do not allow mention of competing forums as it is free advertising for them.

What is the opinion of members about this? Is it fine allowing members here to promote or mention competing forums without paying this forum owner or taking his permission  ?
Well, I will say you should leave it to the admin of the forum, they are the boss here, they call the shot and make the rules. So, if they see it as nothing, so be it, after all, everything is not operating in the same manner in every facet of life. But in the wider sense, just like how it is being used on social media where a low-level/unnoticed handle would suddenly rise to prominence because it attacks or talks false or more on the stars/celebrities, it will not be different in this context either.

Such forum(s) will surely rise to more prominence if nothing is done and will surely embolden users more. As it is now, I don't think Bitcointalk is in competition with any forum, only that allowing double standards can't be so good.

Above all, let the admin decide how the forum is being run.
