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.
