Hello Dale,
With regards to commercial posts, I'm not going to make it as strict as the other bulletin boards. I believe it is to all reefers' interest to know what special items (as in unique, hard to find, or rare), or new products (a very unique skimmer design, etc) are available.
So if you have new shipments that are unique, it's okay to make an announcement.
As such, I'll create a new forum for this purpose on a trial basis. In other words, any vendors or manufacturers can make use of this for announcements, not ads.
I define announcements to be a one time event when the goods are first available; ads to be a recurring post about a specific good.
For example, if you have a very unique sponge available, you can make the announcement. If you decide to carry this special sponge because of its popularity, it won't be okay to make an announcement every month about it. That would be considered as an advertisement. It is okay, on the other hand, to make the announcement when you get a shipment of general goods such as live rock, or fish. J&L Aquatics have a board in their store letting customers know when goods will be in and I believe this information is useful to some people.
If you do feel like advertising, I have no problem with it. Create a banner of size up to 126 x 500 (hxw) and I can post it up.
