That takes about 99% of postings away then. No brand names, no company
names, no shop names, contract details or anything else that could identify
a service or product.
How many adverts do you see in here? People advertising shops, contracts,
sim cards, special deals, phones on offer, ebay links, links to sites.
You will agree that "no advertising" is a silly thing to have in a charter.
Maybe you need to go away and think about what you mean, then reword the
details you sent.

Not really. Blatant adverts adverts are few and far between. Links in
signatures are allowed.

Also recommendations aren't necessarily adverts. *Sometimes* they are, but
not always.
