Advertising on Outpost
I know it is against the rules to advertise with links in your trades. But what about those that circumvent this restriction with their website as their name?

I once reported that, but he's still active. If that kind of advertising is allowed, what's to stop me from creating (lots of) Alt accounts, becoming a donor and then advertise my website with (hard to proof) fake trades? (not implying that that is the case below)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/163944
http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/255251
http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/121246 (although inactive for some time now)
(all from the same guy)
There are others, maybe less obvious, but the above are only an example.

Full disclosure: I had a rather ugly argument with the site owner at his blog a while back about his legitimacy, manners and double standards (but not started by me, imho).

I don't think the site can dictate what the account name you have.

sure it can, if it clearly is designed to circumvent existing rules
He has many alts already, why does he need this one to trade on Outpost?
Quote: "I started this account to supply keys for the group" Well he's trading a lot more than that, isn't he...

If it bother's you I recommend blocking him, then his trades won't show up anymore

Already did. Was just curious on what the policy is. MarcoPower has answered that now.

Just to be clear, I didn't say that, nor did I intend to imply anything like that.
