I did no such thing and I question your interpretation of my post. Here is what I said:
From the registration agreement:
Do not post spam, including but not limited to advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitations, offers to trade or barter, charitable appeals, or other messages primarily intended to promote a cause, venture, organization, event (except Straight Dope-related events), website, or other entity or activity, whether or not money is involved.
No warning issued, but please don’t do this. I’ll note in passing that while I disagree with your legal interpretation, you know what the staff thinks of posts that could bring legal difficulties for the board. Please be more careful in the future.
Also I’ll point out that you’re giving Cesario more attention. If I wasn’t a moderator here I’d be ignoring the shit out of this guy.
The intended emphasis was on the ‘messages primarily intended to promote a cause.’ Frankly Gfactor ’s response really covers everything I would say here.
