btw, what if I add a line below the "real" update?

e.g. check out the Boards for this topic! btw, buying xxx.

It's still a form of advertising, even if you have some sort of "update" on it.

That would be called "looking for a loophole".

just making sure: this is about the advertisement of neopets stuff, but not neopets as a whole. Like for instance, if i wished to say something about the Daily Dare or finally getting a game avvie legit, would that be allowed

Ok, I won't say I've never done it - maybe twice. But I think it's a good thing. Prefer to read the real statuses.

Suggestion
Make 1 little box where comments are the advertisements and it could say Post Advertisements Here and maybe get comments get cleard like every 15min, with that done ppl couldn't complain

its gonna be even harder selling stuff now status updates really helped

People will just be forced to use the Trading Board as it's supposed to be used. Once everyone gets accustomed to that, I don't think there'll be an issue. It's just that your post will get buried in the 2nd page pretty quickly.

Well, it's 6 more trades than he would've had without the status advertising, I guess.

I guess :p It's probably more convenient for people who just log on, post status then GTFO to do IRL stuff.

I hear it's nice, having IRL stuff to do.

Actually I saw a good idea the other day when looking in the forum for the current competition.

Put a LINK in your siggy to your thread, that way instead of your comment status being bumped off by other status sells, EVERY post you make will have an add there.
How's THAT for a good idea people? Just post it in your siggy if you want people to know you are selling, if they are curious they will click!

That'd be one huge mass PM :o It'll be okay after a few days where all the regular members will realize. The noobs we can just yell at; which we'll do regardless

I think the Mods are PM'ing the people who have been unaware/ignoring the rule since this thread, repeat offenders will dealt with.

Best policy is if you seen someone doing it, go to member profile and report :)

Do both, please. Hopefully the offender will see the link to the new rule thread before the status gets deleted.

Ahhh okay. I usually just paste SL's own words and the part about warnings/suspension. But I'll report too then.

Just reported my first user. Feels empowering
