Starfleet Commander

why was my thread moved into this forum section? you do not have this game in your list of free browser games and I was not aware that it was against the rules to promote a game. that IS what this site is all about is it not?

a reply to explain the reason why my thread was removed would be most kind. thank you very much.

4. You also provide the game link within your post.

it's not that this site forbid you from promoting a game. but forum sections and post grouping has it's reasons. try to understand that could you.

Oh, cool. Someone under 30 posts who saved me discussing most reasons already lol.

What you wanted - "Hey, there's this game <Name> could you check it out and review it Omer or add it onto the site? It's pretty good, it's like..."
What you did - "Hey come play this <Link> it's a great game you can even play from facebook! <link>"

As Icewizard said, though, 1, 2 and 4 can be overlooked depending on the context - If you were intending to suggest Omer review this, why not make it apparent rather than making a post that seems similar to the many other Shameless Promotion/Advertisers? You do have under 5 posts, after all.

With all due respect, with the afore mentioned above, having a higher post count and partaking in other forum/thread discussions make it seem like you're not just here to advertise/promote.
You, have 2 posts.
Each being here.

If I feel someone if advertising something, the first thing I do is check their previous posts; If that game is all they've talked about, I'll most likely suspend or ban them.
If they've partaked in other discussions (And actually created lengthy replies rather than 'yeah this is great game') then you'll be considered an member, suggesting a game.

You're also more likely to not be considered an advertiser if you show interest in what the community has to say about the game and respond to their replies. You offered no discussion, as Icewizard said. "Is anyone interested in this game?", "I'm going to play it. Will anyone else?", "Yeah it came out recently and I thought it looked quite fun, so I'm sharing it with you all. Penny for your thoughts?"

As such, I'm going to leave this thread right here because I'm still sketchy about this topic. Some advertisers do a few posts around the place then completely vanish and what not.
