Well, if you're too lazy to read that thread, I will post this here (even if I think it's useless).
Server Advertisements
Advert Requirements - You need a forum reputation of at least 15 in order to create an advert. This is to stop people joining just to advertise, and instead offer it as a reward for useful contributing members of the forum.
Only One Advert Per Month - Each server can only have ONE advert posted per month, you cannot bump this advert in any way but you can edit it. Changing IP or name does not qualify you for a new advert, that's what "edit" is there for. Changing an advert to say "deleted" does not qualify you to post a new one, it simply means that your one for the month says "deleted" (possibly the most useless advert ever). If an advert gets removed and you post a new one, that is still a second one, and you still aren't allowed it.
Note that this is per CALENDAR month, so one on the 30th then one 2 days later on the 1st is allowed, assuming that the forum has been cleaned in the interim.
Only Server Owners May Post - If you do not OWN the server, you may not post. Owners cannot give you permission to post for them - they do not make the rules of these forums and they do not have the authority to change them. If you make multiple adverts for multiple servers, and it is not clear that you own them all they will simply be removed as owning more than one different server is unlikely. "But I'm the community manager." is not an excuse - in that case write the advert for the owner to post. "But the owner is banned." is also not an excuse, if a member is banned, why should they still be allowed to use the forums for their own gain?
Servers Only - This is not a place to advertise clans/free server hosting/hosting companies.

Red text corresponds to the answer of this topic, the rest is just for reference.
@zLucifer - Why don't YOU keep your opinions to yourself? You're not helping him in anyway. I pointed him to the most exact source possible, and it's official information too, but he just ignored me. And what did you do? Hmmm... I guess, nothing, except "nag".
The source matters, it does, and a lot. Would you rather ask a question to someone who isn't familiar with pawn or to someone who is?
