[wp-forums] Possible promotion in the forums?

[Jan Dembowski]

I changed the subject line, it was messing up my view in the list 
archive using the same old subject line. ;)

That's a solid "It depends" and Andrew is right that we'd need to see 
the topic to know. Sometimes the answer is "Hey try this plugin or 
theme" but if that's a common routine with a person replying then that's 
kinda bot'ish.

If the link to the plugin is commercial and contains an affiliate code 
well that's just not allowed.

Thanks,
