It's not a legal matter as much as it is a policy matter. Unauthorized advertsing is "spamming". Spamming the site will result in the material being deleted and a trip to the Penalty Box. Worst case scenario, your account would be "nuked".

Depends on terms and conditions, if any came of it you'd probably have a few warnings and then get banned.
But illegal is against the law, so I dont know if it is illegal.
It also depends on the country!!

No. I believe that is what they call spamming.
Should AB have a disclaimer/caution to hyper sensitive people regarding the questions and answers here?

I inadvertently hit "Asker's Pick" for a very offensive answer. No way to undo it. Have you done it too? More than once?

Do we get points for flagging? We used to receive them for moderating but I was told that stopped. So what is true now? Anyone know?

Thank you very much. I just noticed that occasionally people try to push their products on this site. A few moments ago someone was trying to sell prescription drugs.

We get a lot of that here and we nuke 'em. If you see that happening, contact a CL (e-mail or frop into a comment thread) and provide them with a link so we can shut the person down.

What is a CL? How do I get their email addresses?

Only some of us have our e-mail listed in our profiles, but the lonks are to the profiles so you can see who can be contacted and who can't.
Basically CLs take out the garbage (spam) and keep the peace here on AB.

Okay, thank you very much. I will always do whatever I can to help.
