I finally had to go back and read the particular TOS. I had assumed that auction spam was flat-out forbidden; it appears that a group can in theory allow such posts (although I have no idea how this would be decided upon).

Check out .org.au

In mentioning this though, I realise the .loc.au charter doesn’t explicitly allow such postings, so there are probably many TOS violations in that group, not to mention the sidebar. Hmmmm. Maybe time to get the charter changed. If possible.

IIRC the .org hierarchy was partially set up as a place where people could offer things for sale to their local area. I can remember that years ago a certain Australian got banned from posting for advertising sales in .loc.au but was then allowed back when they posted them to .org.au
