A number of brand new accounts have popped up shilling their paid for applications.
Is this within the rules? Is the community happy with this? Could mods clarify this in the rules?
Either allowing advertising, or banning it entirely.
my point is - there is a difference between an open source homegrown project that might be useful, vs closed source paid for projects from brand new accounts
some replies are misunderstanding, somehow.
I am against
brand new accounts who:
- first post is a brand new project
- project is closed source
- project will cost money
- is asking for free testing
- the post is literally an advertisement
@breadsmasher I know there is that joke about online forums and the probablity of someone getting called a nazi heading toward one overtime - this is a sensitive topic but im less concerned about an occasional shill for a persons product than people getting rude and abusive to each other… theres nothing worth that in this discussion…
