I, and many of the other non-commercial players who so choose,
will not play games which are advertised in a manner we feel
to be inappropriate. Fortunately, *you* do not determine whether
we will find it appropriate, so you can post whatever you like.

If I find it offensive, I'll stop playing your game(s), or not
start.

It's a pretty simple solution, one which the usenet has used effectively
for years, to handle the cases where people decide that They Are Above
The Rules, and Can Post Whatever They Want, Nyaa Nyaa.

Informative posts, sure. Blatant advertising? Well, read my above,
and try to guess how many people will informally boycott bozos as
compared to be impressed by the business acumen of using a newsgroup
for advertising purposes. If you guess right, you win.
