If a response requires a reference to a specific product or manufacturer then this is totally in the scope of the forum. No commercial post means no unsolicited ads or blatant sales posts are allowed.

We have initiated a new policy to accommodate those that wish to advertise gambling, casinos, pills, drugs, or similar pharmaceuticals, pr any other item that Boilerroom.com does not first approve to the listing of in writing. While we do not permit the placement of any advertisements should any advertisements of any potential type not specifically and in writing be approved by Boilerroom.com, or any other item the person or organization placing the ad, by nature of placing the ad in the first place, agrees to an initial fee of $ 1,000.00 USD invoiced immediately and a daily fee of $ 500.00 USD for every day their ad runs on our website. The advertisements do not need to specifically solicit a sale directly, the fee is charged for any posting of any type even if the posting is intended to be informational.
