Now that spamming General for purely marketing reasons is permissible as per http://www.enworld.org/forum/genera...ard-luke-gave-us-first-copy-wedding-gift.html I'd like some guidelines so as to know the right and wrong way one goes about it.
I'm not being passive-aggressive or sarcastic at all. Obviously, if threads like the above are legal, then there's no reason to complain about them.
If the term "spam" is discomforting, let's drop it, and call them "Threads With Marketing Objectives." Now that ENWorld is open to TWMO on General, what are the guidelines for them? Serious question.
Spam isn't allowed. Neither are threads with the sole purpose of marketing, except in the PR forum.
The game related part of the post is nothing but a plug for an upcoming game: the review contains no relevant details about the game, is completely one sided about how it is the "best game ever", and contains way to many exclamation marks.
The fact that the poster follows up on the thread doesn't change the initial purpose of the thread
