Some clarification on the terms and conditions.

I'd like to know where the line lies on this specific term:

3.5.0. advertising for other servers/clans (also belongs to the SLAP Gaming Facebook group).
4.4.0. Advertising any other minecraft services is not allowed.

Define, Advertising: Describe or draw attention to (a product, service, or event) in a public medium in order to promote sales or attendance.

If I talk about a different server is that considered advertising, without the attached IP address.
If I talk to someone in a private message, who I already know, about a said server/clan is that considered advertising - I would have thought not as it's not public?
If I talk about a different server/clan with no intention of trying to promote it is that considered advertising, or is talking about other servers completely forbidden?
Does 4.4.0. mean that if I talk about something such as Yogscast then I am falling foul of this rule?


I ask these three main questions as many people seem to be banned for advertising in situations which I would not, personally, consider advertising - and I do not, personally, wish to fall foul of these rules.

mentioning another server by name or server address in private or public chat is advertising.

as this is more than likely relating to the current ban appeals in the Ban Appeal section, i have reviewed these and now replied.

the advertising terms and rules of banning will be re-written this week to make them clearer, as there does seem to be some confusion currently.

awesome on the re-written part.
