Listing available pools in the OP is fine.
I really don't understand why people grumble about this... Pool Operators can contact the coin dev and ask to include a link to their pool in the OP. Problem Solved!

This is the kind of thing that should be banned... just saw it on three different threads. And looking at their post history they put it on many other threads too..
HAH you are funny. Looks like this is not forum. Because you can"t inform coin owner so he adds his coin for free no payment or % from them and he will get better recognition.
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

Like saddampbuh said. You can"t post once to topic so you inform coin owner about the thing how you can help with recognition. I am not getting any % from it so.... Stupid rule.
And yea it was posted once to each coin that was not on our site, not to every coin. People are looking for specifications and everything and owners need places where their coin can be found. Why the f.... are they then adding their coins to our site? Because its usefull it has a lot of information that is otherwise hard to find.
Posting once should be alowed!!
So a new coin was released today and this was one of the first replies to the ann post.
This makes want to ask, If a pool op stepped in and answered to this with a link to his working pool would this also be considered advertising?
2 listed pools don't work and i can't find others because of the rule that pool owners arent allowed to advertise, guess i have no way to mine this

Exchange spam can be bad too !
when this guy posted.. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7447089
i laughed so hard LOL
it's a fake coin topic i made in the nooby section / jail back when you had to post in there first.
it was pretty much my first post here and there was never any real intention or actual files.
Although "Zack" had cleaned up deleting negative posts that i found funny and pm'd me "in case i was serious" lol
I thought it was funny because my fake psuedo-ann topic had all rael info copied from real coins and real people
and the part where i said i quit my job to "do altcoins" was taken from a well known Cryptsy user who said that to me on chat.
ok i am gettin' side tracked ROFL's LOL
Point being is that the exchange Comkort posted on that link earlier they added my coin.. my coin didn't exist !
and when i did a search i found the guy had spammed that same comment / post all over the forum.

+1
+2. Very well said and I think it echos the sentiments of the majority.
Thumbs down. And I don't have any affiliation with any pool now or in the past... ever.
Yes, report spam like that as well.
This is the kind of thing that should be banned... just saw it on three different threads. And looking at their post history they put it on many other threads too..
Advertising mining pools is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, altcoin announcement threads. Mining pool ops should make one thread within the Mining section of Alt Currencies. Do not make a separate thread for each coin. Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam.
lol, bitcointalk.org - we dont deal with scam but with ads... made my day!

I don't like that rule at all. Why not just limit pool announcements to one post/thread? Was this decision made by only one mod? This rule has almost no advantages, coin devs, miners and pools all profit from non spammy announcements. Boo! Veto!
pools ops were drowning the forum in spam. 
I agree, many were posting sometimes two times per page, and it was very obnoxious and it does need to stop. But not letting them post ONCE in the thread that they are going to support a coin, or being allow to post updates when they are needed is not what is needed to curb the spam.
I agree, pools need to be allowed to post at least ONCE to announce the pool's services. And TROLLS are definitely spamming the forums, they need to be banned too.

A few thoughts as both a pool op and a miner.
Pools should be allowed to post ONCE per thread that they are going to support the coin in the thread, any more they should be banned. I don't feel that just posting in the thread talking about the coin, hoping others read their sig to check the pool's mining thread is fair at all. I agree that the huge pool posts, and pool spamming needed to stop, but this rule takes it to the extreme is is too far.
Second, if a coin is having an issue (blockchain fork, hard fork, etc) pools should be able to post in the thread to say the have updated to the new code, are now on the correct fork, etc. Having to jump between the coin's ann thread and the pools mining thread when there's an issue will do more harm then good to the miner's trying to get info on where to mine.
Putting the dev in charge of updating the OP is bad for two reasons (already stated, but needs to be said again). This allows the dev way to much power in what pools he/she wants to have support the coin, and could make or break a pool depending on if the coin is successful and the dev decides not to list it, or didn't see the pool's PM. During a launch, the dev should be concentrating on making sure the coin and it's network are operating as expected, and not having to check their PM's every 5 min to see if pool want's to support the coin or not. The dev has enough to worry about already and this will only make their job that much harder. (the good dev's that is)
What about multipool's who's soul purpose is to support that coin? Are they allowed to post update, etc, or does it too need to have it's own tread in the mining section?

Good points. This is definitely more advantageous for the larger pools. I'm not sure of the process, but I've seen pools listed on the very first announcement. Maybe they reached out to the coin dev after the pre announcement?

I see good and bad points from this.
The good mainly being that it might help to get rid of a lot of the "fly by night" pools that don't really offer much and/or are scams. Plus it stops some pools from over spamming threads.
The bad..
It's really going to centralize the altcoin sector much more than it already is. Smaller pools, like ourselves, struggle to get many workers as it is, and I'm guessing it's going to be much, much less from this point forwards. We HAVE to keep reminding users in threads that our pool is there, and the features we offer, or we simply don't get noticed. For example, our pool charges 0.75% for fees, which is one of the lowest around.. but in most OPs you won't see that detail - only in our ad where we list our main advantages.
What I can see happening is basically the hashrate on the few big pools, Dedicated, Suprnova, Suchpool etc, is going to increase and all the other pools are going to get fewer and fewer workers.
Why not make it so each pool can post once in each thread with their ad.. any more than once and it's spam. I don't see the problem with allowing one "ad" each. It's still not ideal for smaller pools like us but it's a bit of a compromise at least.

i was thinking of the one post idea too.. sounds reasonable to me.
also utilize your Sig here guy
you mentioned pool "details" but did not put those details in your sig lol
Good call
