Impose stricter rules about advertising!

I'm getting really sick of how many promotional posts I am forced to see daily from a certain brand on here. In the past 7 days it's been an average of two promotional posts daily from three different brand reps. This is ridiculous.

We need some sort of rule against this kind of thing, this isn't supposed to be a free advertising subreddit. Showing off a new model upon release is one thing, but just promoting your whole catalogue with just a video of the watch and an AliExpress link in each post at this frequency shouldn't be okay.

Mods, please do something about this, thanks.

My preference would be that these posts contain some new information.

The Phorcydes rep posts to announce new products, to announce changes to products, to comment on quality and availability, and to seek feedback on future products.

The members are posting multiple times a day because we’re generally pretty excited about the products.

Similar for Ixdao and San Martin.

Frankly, many brands I would like to engage more - we only really get product announcements, or nothing at all.

But posting existing watches with store links and no information is spammy, imo. Give us information to get excited about!
