According to jenX we can't actually ask this in product showcase forum either because that says vendors (ie noone else) are only are allowed to post about their products.
Love esther
PS I think we need to discuss this with site staff as JenX suggests.

***"However, to ease your mind, there are exceptions to the rule.  For instance, if someone were to ask "Does anyone know where I can get a pirate ship"? as a question in the forum, feel free to point them in the direction of pirate ships, both free and for sale. 

While you can't outright advertise them, and we shouldn't have allowed it in the first place, you CAN link to products, both free or for sale, should the need to answer a question arise.  "***

The only issue with this is I can see this exception getting out of hand... I remember at another site where the Artist and the Testers did just this... (or it may have been the Artist with Clone Accounts)

But there suddenly would be a question seeking a very specific item and about the same three or four that would reply saying they have never seen such an item, but it would be a good idea, or something similar (along with anyone else that decided to reply)

Within a Week or so, the Artist (always the same artist) would reply, hey, check out this Product, which was exactly what they were looking for... amazingly!

So basically, those artists or fans of the artists wanted to promote a product, all they have to do is ask about it specifically...
