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.

    I do consider it an ad to recruit people to do beta testing for a paid product.

    Fair. You do, I don’t.

      I’m very aware that you don’t consider it an ad, but it’s an ad in my eyes. It’s literally a call to action to recruit people to improve their paid application in order to extract money from users in the future.

        I’ve very aware that you do see it as an ad. So, here we are. I’m about to fire up a bowl, do you partake? It’s some gnarly gas for sure. I like to share what I’ve grown with my own two hands. No strings attached. You don’t have to put 5 on it.
