We've never used this newsgroup in any other way than that which you are
suggesting, nor that I've noticed has anyone else much (well, Star
Empires 2 has a lot of ads but nobody seems to mind them). My recent
commercial ad was labelled "commercial launch" - we didn't get any
complaints, just a list maintainer taking the opportunity to tack on his
own advertisment. I won't be sending any more such ads unless we've a
new game to mention or unless we're looking for playtesters (which would
be free anyway so non-commercial).

I come back to the same point that's been made time and time again, 90%
of the complaints come from one person, when other people are asked what
they think most say they don't mind ads as long as they're informative
and not hype filled.

I would be happy with your proposals, as I'm sure most moderators would
be. What about other advertising postings eg web sites, games listings
and so on?
