So here we have a regular, albeit highly intelligent but often waspish, contributor to this forum extolling the virtues of the Ketron SD2 sound module manufactured in Acona, Italy. Posting actual examples of its capabilities on this forum and announcing “Look Ma No Realtracks”. Is that advertising or not? Well it was good enough to convince me - I bought one.

I have on several occasions referred to the East-West products of sound modules and SONAR because they can enhance BIAB generated tracks as I showed with some examples. Is that advertising or not?

Or is it that it is only advertising if the “manufacturer” does it “blatantly” (what ever that means) is it considered to be advertising? Well, what about a well-known “manufacturer”, trying to make a living, who has for many years produced many alternative and superior midi styles in my opinion, thereby enhancing BIAB posts on this forum. So is this then advertising or not? Doesn’t seem much different from the first example.

All I’m asking the webmaster are the guidelines to what constitutes advertising as far as PGMusic is concerned. Not cynicism, or others interpretation, just a clear detailed statement. As it stands the directive is open to too much interpretation for users to “guess” what is meant to be “advertising”.
