What Is Forbidden Advertising

[Canary42]

Based on another post, I am confused as to what constitutes advertising on Ab.

For example we get thousands of links to Daily Mail from one of the most prolific poster - isn't that advertising this disgusting newspaper ?

^That's only the start of it.

After checking joggerjayne's old threads, it turns out I wasn't the first ABer to accuse AOG of being a paid employee of the Mail, posting threads to enhance "page ranking" being the modern day equivalent of street corner shouters.

If it weren't for the subject matter at the heart of it being so icky I would say that it was an entertaining hour, by which I mean it was dealt with in a humourous way. Hypocritical attitudes within supposedly august organisations make for a rich vein of humour. AOG was the first, dare I say only, person to stand up for them and remember, he's only a consumer, not a lackey.

Thanks to chico for that vid, which saved me lots of typing.

Not sure if there's been a thread about it but here's another example of exploitative TV in search of ratings, for newspapers to score page hits from.
