Okay to post a coupon for my own company here?
« on: June 23, 2014, 10:04:09 AM »
my company makes and sells stuff that could be useful to the community here and as a marketing guy can make a coupon that will work for everyone. i don't want to break any rules here on the forum by advertising.

MOD COMMENT:
The rule is "no spam."

Beyond that, it's hard to say exactly what that means without getting into nit-picky nuances.

Probably not spam example:
- A single post (that includes disclaimers about the affiliation) from someone who contributes to the forum is not spam.

Probably spam examples:
- A single post from someone who is brand new to the forum probably is spam.
- Multiple posts over and over by the same author, regardless of how much else they contribute, probably is spam.

It seems like you'd probably fall under that first category.

Hope that helps!
