As I understand it, FT has a long standing tradition of not allowing advertising and self-promotion of members' businesses.

Ive been seeing cases of members posting "advice" on certain fora that systematically includes links to wikitravel entries.

Of course, while its clear that these links are not direct commercial solicitations, and I give this Modus-Operandi kudos for being smart and well thought out... does this constitute proper FT etiquette...???

Just to clarify, the wikitravel entries are filled with the commercial links.

Have I posted this in the wrong forum.....?
