Recently(few minutes ago) I got to thinking about the "Mild Advertisement" infraction of The Rules. What made me really think was that they included the word Mild(Moderate in type, degree, effect, or force. Not extreme.) in the title. What if a user posted Extreme Advertisement, I did not see an infraction for Blatant ads in the Infraction list. Maybe a Blatant ads gets a direct ban without warning, but that brings up another question for me. Why Ban without warning someone who Advertises 'Blatantly', and give a 50 point infraction to someone who is talking about Pirated Material. That's similar to "Convicting an innocent man for(whatever) and giving the guilty a slap on the wrist", is it not? Another thing, what would be considered "Mild Advertisement"? Would Viral Advertisement be considered mild? Wikipedia says that Viral Advertisement is "marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness" and "It can be word-of-mouth delivered". Should talking about the "next pokemon game" or "Flash Carts for DS" be considered Viral Advertisement, should they be topics applicable for the "Mild Advertisement" infraction? Alot of the things we think of just regular speech could actually be Advertisement in a sense of form, and should it really be allowed past the "Mild Advertisement" infraction? I know a MOD can decided what they will and will not allow, but this is just to strike some talk about what we think Mild Advertisement is. Often when I start talking I jump off subject and touch on other thoughts in my head, but yeah that is the gist of what I had in mind. I might be wrong in what some things I say, but what do you think?
