Should Self-Promotion Limits Change for Marketplace Sellers?

[koyala]

Many forums restrict promotion, yet selling requires visibility. How do you separate helpful product posts from pure advertising without confusing sellers and moderators?

Probably, yes, with clear boundaries. Marketplace sellers are there to sell, so stricter self-promotion limits can hurt activity. At the same time, unchecked promotion turns forums into spam boards. Tiered rules for verified sellers, posting limits, and quality requirements usually strike a better balance.
