In regards to the forums:
- spamming the forums with unsolicitied sales pitches.
(everything is a unsolicited sales pitch if it asks for money)
- spamming the forums with any non-CG/non-Keenspot promotions not cleared by STrRedWolf, Kisai, or Mercury Hat (most are OK'ed -- we want you to ask).

In regards to ComicGenesis, you may -NOT- put a competing ad service (ie google ads and whatnot) on your site. Other types of ads I believe you are supposed to ask Chris Crosby if they replace existing ads (see Ghastly), other than that advertising other webcomics on a webcomic site isn't that much different than just linking to them, but... I don't know. Maybe I should forward this to Teri & Co and find out.

Oh sorry. My bad. I'll just go sulk in shame in a corner.

Eh, I did send a message to Teri & Co, but the point was that there is generally a zero tolerance for advertisements-as-posts.

Um... what about the guy who was offering "button" spots a while back? Isn't that the same thing?

Yeah, it is. I don't think that person is a part of comic genesis though...although how that has any bearing on the "zero tolerance for ad posts", I'm not sure.

I believe they PMed the admin first and are not currently on CG services.

I should try to sell add space in my signature.

I'm sure you'd get a lot of offers for it. Your posts are everywhere.

Man, I wish people would give ME money. That would be excellent.

I protest my innocence! When I posted about the sponsor buttons I thought it was ok, I remember that back in the day good ole Ghastly used to have fantastic sales pitches about his ad space. I also cleared it in irc, and was told it would be ok. I think. Maybe I dreamed this last part.

I appreciate that rules have changed (or become more strictly enforced) and that nobody likes spam etc. but allow me to say that I have the impression that at the moment these forums are occasionally overmoderated. Back when I was on keenspace the forums kicked ass, I never noticed a downward trend that would justify an iron fist, but maybe I've missed something. Don't exaggerate, or people will be too scared to post!

He's far more fantastic in person though.

"Ghastlys ghastly comic! Nothing says loving like a tentacle in the oven."

That damned gimp stick gives him great power over the consumer.
Esspecially when he uses it to beat us.
