What counts as advertisement?

SG03. · Nov 30, 2022

I was suspended from group posts and communications for a post involving an in-game (Minecraft) economy in which we ''sell and buy items, land, etc'' as I put it in the post. These items are purely in game, and no real money is used, we simply do this to simulate economies for fun. I understand the confusion but the post in question clearly outlined that it was in game. Does this count as advertisement if there is no product involved for real world money? In future should I even mention it, or should avoid mention of any trading all together to avoid suspension?

Also, to note the rest of the post stated players could run for elections, make towns, make businesses and should be over the age of 16 at least to play. I'm fairly sure that the quote outlined is the reason however you never know.

LFG posts are only for finding others to play a game with. Offering to buy/sell/trade,etc. anything in them is not allowed even if it is allowed in-game (LFG posts are not considered in-game). So it would be best to avoid mentioning that in those posts.

I usually get to see the movies for free since Im the projectionist at my local theater. We do run advertisements before the show up until the advertised start time. Then at the advertised start time the Movie begins with the trailers. Believe it or not,
but theaters are required to put certain trailers on movies based on what the studio requests. Some studios go as far as to send a person on opening weekend to check for proper trailers and count attendance to make sure we aren't letting people go for free.
But when it goes >Trailer>advert>trailer>trailer>advertisement>advertisement>trailer>advertisement>trailer>film thats rude to the paying customers imo. Ours goes >advertisements>advertised start time>Trailers>film. If my theater ever runs rolling stock(advertisements
after advertised start time) I will no longer work there.

Just because a square doesn't have 'advertisement' written under it does not mean it is not an advert.

Currently on my sister's 360 'Home' pane I have an advert for Games With Gold. One for the Xbox One, Another for 'Warface'. How about Xbox at E3, or another for the best deals on Gold.

Oh I guess they don't count. Though given the only one with 'Advertisement' written under it is for Bing, a Microsoft service available on the console, I guess that one doesn't count either.
