Updating Code of Conduct "Promotion".

[geospatial-geek]

Can we clarify the following portion of the Code of Conduct: Promotion of Yourself or Your Company in relation to links to paid content?

Currently it states:

• This is not a marketing forum or a source of new customers. Feel free to share your projects and events in the appropriate channels, but refrain from using it solely for a marketing purpose. The admins reserve the right to moderate your posts for compliance with the code of conduct.
• We have a dedicated channel named #showcase for promoting your own work or work you have a stake in. Promotions should not go in the #random channel and should not be placed in other channels without first taking stock of the culture of the channel. Some channels allow users to post links to their own content - consider the existing content/culture of a channel before posting links to your own content.
• Wherever you post content you are promoting, you must refrain from doing it in a way that would be perceived as spam (for example, repeated posting of similar content).
• If you have questions or concerns about how to share something you are promoting, or are looking for an exception to these rules, contact the admins in the #call-admin channel

Should we forbid links to paid content? At the very least, should it be required to notify when a link is to paid content?

I suggest adding:

"Please clearly indicate when a link leads to paid content."

Perhaps it could go immediately after this sentence:

"Some channels allow users to post links to their own content - consider the existing content/culture of a channel before posting links to your own content."
