We already have a thread in Cbuzz which encourages people to promote their businesses on FT - should we delete this also? (this is clearly a rhetorical OMNI type question as moderation decisions are outwith the scope of TB ).

And shouldn't you take the advice in your own signature?
But who enforces/moderates the signatures to ensure they are "in compliance"?

And again I agree
