Are you allowed to post for deals involving your own company?
Sorry, I couldn't find anything regarding that on the rules.
Also, how much does it cost to appear in the deals section?

When did that come into play? Perhaps the Bell "call me for a bigger discount", the Rogers "PM me and I'll give you the best price", the Future Shop "Come in and ask for Dave to get the PM" or the "Come see me at XXX dealership for a test drive" would fall in that category no? Maybe my interpretation is wrong. Heck even that Costco employee posting those deals ahead of time gets profit-sharing, so obviously someone somewhere is making bank.

Good rule of thumb is if you are going to personally benefit by posting the deal, then it's not allowed.
If it's a trickle-down effect or if it's shared amongst several individuals, it doesn't count, lol. But here's the thing, and I've brought this up before. There's no consistency with that policy across forums either. The mom and pop shop owners get crucified in Hot Deals, and meanwhile in Contests, the personal bloggers get a free for all in there - can you honestly tell me that isn't self-promotion with a straight face?Cas77 wrote: ↑When did that come into play?

I reported one of these just a few weeks ago and nothing was done. Must be a very new rule.
It's BS that mom and pop stores offering a decent deal aren't able to post it here, but if you work for a big company then by all means pimp your wares. Cleaning the spam does not mean punishing everyone except the big boxes.
