| Jun 4, 2012 at 21:23 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | @Kaveh: Maybe. But as a separate issue, some people do not like politics on cstheory.stackexchange.com, so please be careful. Also, chat might be an option as a place for ads which are not directly related to Stack Exchange, although there is probably no consensus on which topic is allowed in chat yet. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 21:16 | comment | added | Kaveh Mod | @Tsuyoshi, I see, I got your point. I guess it would have been more appropriate if I had posted this as an answer to the community promotion ads post. Will take more care next time. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 21:16 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | They are at least related to Stack Exchange, although they are also ads. But yours are more similar to posting an ad about a conference in TCS on meta in that the only justification is that the ad is about something possibly of interest to people working in TCS. If people start posting ads about conferences in TCS on meta, I am pretty sure I will stop checking meta. Yours are coming very close to it. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 21:14 | comment | added | Kaveh Mod | @Tsuyoshi, I personally don't see much difference between this and other similar information posts on the meta about issues related/of possible interest to the community (e.g. advertising other stackexchange sites). I guess you also would say they are also "abusing" meta. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 12:37 | comment | added | Uday Reddy | I do not believe that this issue warrants an exception to the rules. It has been debated all over the Press and scientific media, let alone the Internet. There is no need for stackexchange to join the fray. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 11:16 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | @Sid: I do not think that this is important enough to warrant an exception, but more importantly, what worries me most is that Kaveh does not seem to be aware that this is an ad and an abuse of meta. As you said, some exceptions are permissible, but first he should be aware that if this is allowed, it is an exception. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 5:59 | comment | added | Opt | I think this issue is important enough to the community to warrant an exception. While following the site rules is important, they may not be applicable to every situation. | |
| Jun 4, 2012 at 1:23 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | Please do not abuse meta as a place for posting ads. | |

| Jun 1, 2012 at 6:14 | comment | added | Dave Clarke Mod | This is politics, no? And US-centric? | |
