For as long as I can remember I was under the impression that advertising on GITP can and will resort to permabans; however, I've seen a lot lately of what very much appears to be advertising and yet appears to be allowed. Maybe the rules changed and I missed it. As someone who sells some 3rd Party Pathfinder stuff on other sites, I want to be very clear on exactly what is "advertising" and what isn't.
Is it not advertising if the product you're talking about isn't for sale *yet,* but will be? Are links in your signature allowed? Is it simply a matter of limiting the advertising to a post per day so as not to be obnoxious? Does it have to be in a certain forum?
I enjoy GITP both as a resource and a community and I'd hate to not be a part of it, but I'd also hate to be missing out on an opportunity to sell books to people who might like to buy them. Hence the question.
