    Advertising is the promotion or intentional publicizing of a product or service. In Minecraft, it's a bit different. Advertising is one of the highest offenses on the skyblock servers. People advertise warps, servers, and other services related to Minecraft in the current scenario (Twitch streams, youtube links, and even channels). Here's a quick break down on what types are illegal, and what types are condoned. Use this before making a report, if you wish.

    Illegal types-

    -Minecraft servers (NON NOOBCREW OWNED)
    Ex. "Join notarealIP.com! Free admin!

    {Note} Server names are bannable as well.
    -Websites that contain inappropriate content
    Ex. "fakeillegalsite.com is amazing and free!

    -Message advertising
    Ex. "Message me to get the IP for my awesome server!"

    {Note} Talking about your server is okay, but if you bait other players into asking for the IP, and give it out on the forums or in game, you will be banned. Tell the IP somewhere other than skyblock.

    -Deathwarps (/warp die is the only one on .net)
    Ex. "Type /warp diewarp for diamonds!"

    -Real life products
    Ex. "Try supplement xyz for muscle boosting!"

    -Youtube Channels/Links (Global chat/unwanted PM)
    Ex. "Subscribe to "testpurposesonly" for awesome gameplay of Shooting Games!

    {Note} Must not have anything to do with skyblock to be illegal. Some mods do not ban for this, others do. Best to stay away from this entirely.

    Legal types-

    -Warps (Skyblock.org)
    Ex. "My new warp, /warp djdjfhopwilspwls has a new food section!"

    -Drop parties and giveaways
    Ex. "Iron drop party at the spawn lavafall!" or "First to find me wins a mob spawner!"

    -YouTube links
    Ex. "Here's the tutorial you requested, John"

    {Note} Do this in private message.
    Rule of thumb- If it's controversial, don't do it.

    Be sure to use this format.

    1. Your ingame name:
    2. The offender's ingame name:
    3. A description of what rule they broke/how they broke it:
    4. Evidence/screenshots.
