I am sorry if my mind reading ability is not as powerful as yours. There are three ways things get "advertised" here. (1) someone says "I like fritz." I don't see how or why we would want that to stop. (2) someone says "I am now selling chess stuff, and I have this and this for sale, etc." We do not want that, but usually telling someone to stop results in their stopping and all is well. (3) someone creates fake IDs and then uses those to praise/advertise for the _real_ company, and when they get caught, they move to another fake ID. That deserves harsh treatment.
