sorry, i am sure this has been established. but if a person has a spam type saying in their location, thats not allowed.

ie. loc. enjoying a $500 bonus.

then they are running site to promote that.....

Did you PM that guy about it already? I was just about to.

i did as i wrote this post. it would be more effective if another mod says something to him, as coming from me it seems to be business motivated....this was his response:

Why do you feel this constitutes an advertisement? No other mods have had any problem.

This is exactly the Location text I would use to not go against the "Rules".

If you ban this, you will open up all sorts of hassle by way of "but, but" complaints.

Eh, I might draw the line here because it's a poker affiliate ad, not just a "check my blog" ad.

loc. free 10k

Yes, I think you should turn a blind eye to it.

Unless you think a whisper in his ear will get rid of it.

Unfortunately, I suspect that someone who has thought of using such an obscure advert for his site won't go quietly.

Edit: Strictly speaking, he can't have a url in his Location and he can't refer readers to his Profile. This does neither.
