    Maybe I'm nuts, but this does sound commercial to me:

    I think those friends should all be selling off their own used bikes if they want to sell them here.
    If you enjoy the TE forums aside from the 'for sale' ads issue, then you should stay even if you wind up being asked to stop selling other people's stuff here. I'm sure no one wants to see you leave altogether. Like most of us here, you can continue to contribute constructive and helpful input in the forum even without selling things.

    I think it's unfair to pull that post out of the context of it's thread. The OP in that thread was expressing frustration at selling a bike and bike4ever gave her some advice.

    I've sold a couple of bikes on craigslist and some cycling stuff on ebay. And you know what, I cut and pasted from old ads, which served as a "template" for newer ads.

    In my view, "commercial" would have been bike4ever listing her (non-existant) bike selling company or soliciting to sell the OP's bike for her. She did neither. She merely offered advice that was appropriate to the thread. I honestly don't see how you get "commercial" from the post you linked.
