Say if someone asks "Where can I get such and such?"
Can I then reply "Well, actually I have one of those in my store?".
Is that alright to post? Is it alright if someone else says that there is one in my store?

Actually, NO, it is NOT okay for you to mention your own products, even when it answers a question. I have had many of my own posts deleted for this reason: someone would ask where they could get X and I would reply, "I have one in my Marketplace". By the next day, I would receive a message from admin saying that my posting was an advertisement and that my post had been deleted. I tried to argue that I was trying to help answer the person's question, but to no effect. I was not being "helpful" or "friendly" for suggesting my product- I was posting a "commercial" and "pushing my product in the face of people".

However, other people can advertise for you. For example, if someone asked where to get X, someone else could say, "Oh, it's in John's store" without the message being deleted.

Basically, do not mention any of your own products (or your Marketplace) in the Poser Forum or else you risk having your message deleted.

P.S. These rules also apply to the Galleries: if you mention one of your own products, the image will be moved to the Product Showcase Gallery. If you mention someone else's products (or if someone mentions your products in their image), the image will stay in the original Gallery.
