I am looking for rules that specify whether personal advertising is allowed even if by 'name-dropping', price quoting, or "closing a sale"...etc.
In other words, can someone send a reader to another web site to purchase products or list a particular product to buy that one actually sells.
The reason I ask is most other forums strictly prohibit any personal banner waving and bargaining. I am assuming that is not allowed but wanted a reference to that point.
I was just looking for a specific rule here to refer to.
Further research brought his up, Sorry..
