Is commercial advertising allowed on the forums?

It’s disappointing to see Sanborn using the forums for commercial advertising.

That’s my bad. I haven’t been on paddling.com very long. Some forums are ok with simple stuff like that as long as it’s not frequent and everything is disclosed, but not here. I’ll admit in the legal section I didn’t see the advertising/line; reading too quickly. Won’t happen again.

Not a big deal and to your credit, you’re actually a paddler!
