Re: Advertising spam is not allowed

I've edited the OP to make it a bit more general and cover all service related spam, which includes pools.

If a new coin is released, and I create a pool for it, am I allowed to post just one time to inform miners that a pool has been setup? eg: "pool is up at: pool url here"

Or is that classified as advertising spam?

That's got to be okay. If that's considered "advertising spam" then this rule is beyond ridiculous.

I second that. The reason I said I'm against this is because it was unclear. If information such classifies as advertising according to the rule then this this is bringing ridiculousness to a new level.
