I'm confused....
How is a completely valid and legitimate post that is 100% about RPG-related material, posted in a Role-Playing Games forum, considered SPAM?? :raise:
It certainly smacks of a shameless plug by a low-post-count poster, so it certainly seems like an ad. But I wouldn't call it "spam" unless Ashy dedicates his entire career on theRPGsite to nothing besides self-promotion.

Four posts, four promotions.
I'm willing to stand corrected on the exact definition of 'spam.'
Thanks for the "vote of confidence"...
I always thought that a commercial product or monetary gain had to be involved for unsolicited email/web promotion to be spam. If not, it's just a plug.

Then call my post a plug. I'm not making anything off the pdf sales linked to above. :rolleyes:
Oh well, shit. Then at worst it is impolite... maybe?
edit: hmmm maybe even a 'cool thanks for the link' to some, maybe me, if I like what I find there.
Or, ya know, he could post in the fucking sticky thread that's for plugging shit....maybe...just a thought...
That would probably have been best, but it isn't his shit. Does that buy any leeway?
