So coins launch, now pool ops cant post about their pools having the coin .

Coin gets raped by a select few who either own or rent mega hash at the start, leaving the small fish trying to solo and not getting anything.

Smart power I tell ya..... NOT.

I can understand putting LIMITS on something like this, but to outright say none of it allowed is just crazy.

What are you talking about? Advertising is still allowed, just on a reasonable level.

Last days a lot of pool spammers banned, (we are talking about this type of spamming) so this rule is necessary for anti-spam policy. I fully support the new rule. It's better than completely removing altcoin board.

That's not even a pool

Rule is not only about pools. Advertising spam is not allowed.

OK so the way you've reworded the title and OP you are saying that we can post once about a pool / exchange / other service but just not spam it?

Is that correct?

No, you can't advertise your service, be it a pool, a marketplace, etc., in other threads (that includes coin announcements). Make your own thread in the appropriate board and PM OP to add it to the main post.

Please, clarify what is classified as advertising in terms of pools. This general rule has no guidelines and posts are being removed without explanation.

Examples of what is OK and what is NOT OK would be extremely helpful.

There is a time factor when new coins are released. If I create a pool I want to inform miners as soon as possible. If I must wait for the dev to add my pool to the OP, miners have to wait as well.

It's in the benefit of both miners and pool ops, for pool ops to be allowed to post an unstyled 1 liner linking to their pool. Unstyled meaning no altering of how the text looks in a post.

Did the ones who spilled their screen filling banners all over threads ruin it for us all?

this is bullshit rule that fucks over those of us who want to find pool fast and grab some of the first low difficulty coins, i don't want to be checking the mining subforum or waiting for dev to get pm and add to op, this only wastes time and allows ppl with their own mining hardware and insiders to get more of the easy coins

its only spam when pool owner post their link in the same thread multiple times, don't see the problem allowing them to post once

agreed. this rule is completely bullshit

I think we can all agree that the spamming you have linked is excessive and inappropriate. That said, it is completely different then a pool operator setting up a pool for a new coin and notifying miners in the coin thread.

+1 That's an example of Spamming, and I think that most of us agree here that if a pool op or an exchange announces they've just added a coin (without the ann being a huge advertising gig) then it won't be spam by definition.

Got to get them all!

It's a bit heavy handed. Pool ops and exchanges should be allowed one post in that specific coin thread. Spam is by definition repeating the same message over and over. If it's a 1 off post then it's not spamming.

The mods are not replying - I am supporting the removal of this rule even more. For example, when we make a service available, most devs nowadays do not reply to PMs. How are we supposed to let them know of the service? The removal of a post on here earlier about a pool being available just infuriated me.

+1 Mods: Why do you keep ignoring this question?. I believe over 6 people have already asked the same question...

I feel like the last time people were getting banned for spamming. Mods had agreed to not give out clear guidelines of what is considered spam or not just so spammers still end up getting a ban. This resulted in some pretty weird situations and also didn't seem to be fixing the problem. I'm not sure if they're going to follow the same tactic again after the massive fail it had last time.

I've edited the OP to make it a bit more general and cover all service related spam, which includes pools.

I agree that the advertisement spam has gotten out of control, but can we at least post a one liner -once- in a coin thread? No images/etc? Just something along the lines of ______________ has added this coin

Can we get an answer on this?

If a new coin is released, and I create a pool for it, am I allowed to post just one time to inform miners that a pool has been setup? eg: "pool is up at: pool url here"

Or is that classified as advertising spam?

That's got to be okay. If that's considered "advertising spam" then this rule is beyond ridiculous.

Well, a mod just deleted this post:

"BigBangCoin added to http://bbc.minerpools.com - Dev, please add it to the OP.

Thank you."

How in the world can this be considered spam and get deleted but we can still have Carsen creating scam coins every week and nothing happens?
