Greg is correct. We don't have an official policy, but rather review posts on a per post basis. Anything seen as commercial, in as much as it closely resembles ads placed by our vendors, is deemed as such. The post you refer to was designated as this month's new sale, had substantial volume, more than one or two pruned pieces and was a repeat ad.
While we understand every successful hobbyist will have frags to clear out occaisonally, monthly sales of more than a dozen different pieces, offered across multiple cities, with mention of waiving shipping, etc, is exactly what our paying sponsors pay for.
This is especially true when photos of grow outs are posted having multiples of each piece.
We certainly want to encourage selling and trading of your pruned surplus, but we also have to consider the rights of our sponsors.
I hope this answers your question, if you need clarification, please PM me directly. Thanks
