commercial adverts are, erm, commercial adverts. Freebie "come and get it" postings are distinct from commercials by not being commercial. Should the "come get a freebie" posts reach a point where, in the eye of TPTB, they are seriously disruptive to the forum then I imagine they'll discuss ways to crack down on it. The whole idea of having multiple forums and rules and regulations is to make R'osity work as smoothly as possible, and to be as good as it can be for the widest range of users they can manage. Copyright theft was in fact the topic of a recent "Look guys, post these things to the right forum will you? That's what it's there for" post/crackdown/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. No-one picks on commercial adverts, that I'm aware of, because they are commercial adverts. They're picked on (AFAICS) when there's been too many blatant ones and people are irritated by the OT posts. Because, yes, they're off topic.
