One of the admins for Lemmy.world posted a business advert here and the way Lemmy works I don’t have the power as mod to remove admin posts. I have created a ticket on Lemmy support to try and have it removed.
My apologies, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I don’t want to defend anyone here, I just want to make things clear in my head;
the rule is the following:
Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user’s posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account.
To me, it didn’t look like the only intention of OP’s user would be advertising. How is this not fit into “occasional posts of commerical links”?
Our community rules state no advertising. You can read it in the community sidebar
okay, fair.
for some reason I’ve just considered the instance ruleset. Posts I stumbled upon about this incident were pointing World’s rule, not the community’s so I haven’t checked that, my bad.
Thanks for the clarification!
No problem. I made this post because I am getting a lot of reports from members and wanted them to know that I am attempting to deal with this.
What a surprise I didn’t RTFD. Wasn’t really meant to be an ad, though it was. More for benefit of the community. But I get it.
Sorry. I really am. I took it down
Was more for ppl to be aware of the event. Should have left off my affiliate link. But did get good feedback. Also probably impulsive of me. I wonder why lol. Again. I’m sorry.
