Don't. Especially don't create another thread. Report your thread with that little red button instead. Otherwise we would end up with a bazillion threads. Same goes for your other comment.

 

Make yourself familiar with the entire set of rules before posting.

Hello there,

 

can someone clarify the forum rule #1 for me:

No Spam / Advertising:

Advertising of any commercial or personal project, product or service on these forums is not permitted. Chain letters and pyramid schemes are similarly prohibited. This includes the Personal Message service and clan recruitment outside of the Clan Recruitment forum.

On the one hand, community contributions in form of artwork or Youtube videos are welcomed by BI and even featured in their status reports. But on the other hand, what about contributions that aren't artwork or videos? Because I don't do artwork or video, I code. And I have a contribution to make, but explaining it or trying to get people involved in this "personal project" (although sourcecode would be freely available) could be considered as advertisement according to the rule above.

 

Where are the lines drawn? I'm at a loss here.

 

ps. Am I overlooking it or is there really no "delete" button to delete a post?

Whats the personal project?

I think you'll be fine but you may want to contact a mod directly.

There isn' supposed to be one - it'd just be a mess if there was.

 

On a different note - could you explain what your goals are with this project?
