https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718124.0Advertising mining pools is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, altcoin announcement threads. Mining pool ops should make one thread within the Mining section of Alt Currencies. Do not make a separate thread for each coin. Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam.
Let the drama begin.
Finally some action from the staff. This was necessary, any kind of spam can be very annoying if there is a real discussion in the same thread.
Although the replies on that topic are rather fun to read. Many are happy and many are angry right now.
