Tolerant to a fault, I'd say

Clarifications for that rule would be great, as there really are quite a lot of business advertisements that are actually helping this community.

For example, I would hate missing Secret Exit's next game just because they are no longer allowed to advertise on here.

And I even think that (at least to a point and strictly confined to the competitors forum) advertisements for alternative systems and devices should be allowed, as I really think the market (and thus the community) can only flourish when people are well informed about all the possible choices they have.

So it would be really nice to not ban advertisements in general. If we must have that rule at all, just please make it so that announcing (commercial) releases of Maemo software won't be breaking the rules.
Agree. A distinction between ad spamming/commercial sock puppets/astroturfing on the one hand and legitimate informational threads/posts would be nice.
