Are we allowing this?

What do we think about people advertising their business or services on the forums, particularly in that forum.
I personally don't think it really has a place here, but at the very least should be in OT.

My personal opinion - The rest of the team may change it for me.
I don't mind it too much.
(S)he did aim the advertisement at Gmod communities.
We've had people in the past advertise writing scripts for cost/trade without saying anything.

We do need to make sure our forum doesn't turn into a job posting site even if it is aimed at gamers.
I think we need to keep an eye on the amount of posts that occur like this from others, and if it becomes too high, then determne a firm policy.

As for where to allow it, I've posted 'sale/trade' of Humble Bundle games I'll never play in Off-Topic before, but I can also see LuaTenshi's current adv. living where it's at in the server section just fine.

I can somewhat understand why (s)he posted in the community servers subforums, but it breaks the ideal of "each topic is a different community of server(s)". I don't mind the post in off-topic as long as it doesn't sneak into his/her signature or otherwise break out of that single thread.
