I know that the .loc.au crowd enjoys having sale announcements
in .loc.au and .org.au (the latter, especially, IIRC), so maybe
a blanket restriction from the theme groups (including .general)
would be called for. I honestly don't find b-s-t or .shopping
announcements in .loc or .org groups such a big deal.
However, and solicitors might want to think about this, the
worst place to go looking for rare themed parts is in that
particular theme group--they're the most likley to have them,
yes, but they're also the most likely to want to keep them (such
as when people come looking for Pirate parts in .pirates). We
have historically nudged them gently over to .b-s-t, which has
served them well.
But yeah, I'd like the clarification of the TOS. I consider
market posts in the theme groups WAY off-topic, but it needs to
be explicit, as it is with auctions (which used to be a big
hassle too--remember that mess?).
