Well i think i cleary defined the difference between a reasonable mention of a fact about your program, vs derailing a thread with what amounts to a brochure.
If it was XYZ affprograms and they posted:
We at XYZ don’t spam.
Followed by 5 or 10 paragraphs about their program and their clients, i think most people would feel that was spamming this thread. If they just linked to the long page, that’s ok too.
I guess it’s about the degree of promotion, the thread in question. but taking to the light touch is always better to overdoing it.
