Topic: This isn't against TOS, I think? But maybe it should be?

Posted under General

Sorry if this isn't in the right place, I was really unsure where to bring this up, and I wasn't sure about reporting the post since none of the descriptions really fit and I'm not even sure it's against TOS in the first place but

I stumbled onto this post:

It's literally just commission ad spam. I'm all for artists getting paid what they deserve but this is like, on the tier of like, posting a FREE GIVEAWAY video on youtube. just seems really trashy? is this against TOS at all?

I think it classifies as a advertisement, which violates the COC and uploading guidelines:

Advertisements: Low quality ads or ads without artistic value.
If the image has only a small part of it advertising something (like a footer with the Patreon link) then it is very much welcome here.
Adoptables/character auctions, YCH auctions, or any other types ads for auctions are not permitted.

The image appears to be a variant of https://e621.net/posts/3501587?q=samjpeg, which that variant may exist without the text. Which tells me it is just a advertisement with a porn image as a background.
