Possibly, an exception gives the illusion and feeling of "free will", less restrictions, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Well then, since signatures are considered networked advertising (which I didn't know) and since political ads are not allowed on networked advertising, both direct support of a candidate and directing people to visit a campaign headquarters are forbidden. Thank you everyone for your input. Edited August 27, 2023 by BilliJo Aldrin added words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you everyone for your input. My mention of signatures being networked advertising is my interpretation of what network advertising is. Whether LL considers it as such is for them to decide. They may see it differently. If they do allow it, there's always our option to turn off signatures on a person to person basis which I'm sure, many will take advantage of. Always a good idea to know your market when advertising anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great way to avoid seeing people's extreme politics, ads for adult services, confederate flags, links to "dirty pictures", and trolling! ETA: ..and favorite Bible verses!

Anna Nova Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think all advertising should be banned everywhere, RL and SL. On pain of death by slow mutilation. If word-of-mouth isn't good enough, stop making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week the coffee pads are 1+1 free in the supermarket across the street. Great information to get delivered at my doormat (or mailbox).

I see internet ads from companies I do business with, which I find helpful when the ads inform me of new products, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't put them in the cup, it needs a special coffee machine. In NL they are produced by Philips who invented the machine together with the eldest coffee company Douwe Egberts. It is called Senseo coffee after the first machines. Several brands produce the pads or machines these days though.

PheebyKatz Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Relevant question: does anyone think that if I made a coffee machine that you can stack multiple coffee pads in, would it be okay to advertise it in my signature, provided I included a model expressly made for inworld use, also? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
