Exactly, so do I think the same thing. This has nothing to do with stickthis. I am only seeking clarification on the Forum Rules as they now stand.

My point is that very recently the Forum Rules were reintroduced with some very stern warnings about breaking them, infraction notices etc! I am only seeking clarification on the "Strictly no advertising outside websites or businesses" The way that is written, by using the word 'strictly', one would think there are to be no exceptions to this? Obviously there is, so maybe the rule in question needs to be rewritten to something like this or similar " no advertising of outside websites or businesses without moderator's approval? This would make it clear to all.

Additionally, is it now forbidden to mention where one obtained a product or service - E.G. from Rare Spares, One Stop Trimming etc, etc? The way I read the Forum Rules it could be argued that it does.
