I think you should have known that people are not the brightest these days and fail to read the whole thing first before reporting someone. They see the headline and just assume boosting is gone which is not. Best you can do is cool it down for 1 week and you will be fine as other people will keep advertising again.
To be fair that post is fairly long

canât help illiterate people 
Is it? I thought it was just organizations being blacklisted. or 3rd partysites OR real $
I can see people knee jerk reacting in trade chat but less so in a looking for group setting. Dunno, could be wrong.
it is. People are false reporting left right and center because theyâre too dumb to read the fine print

Itâs ironic for you to post that because it makes it clear you didnât read the âdisruptive gameplayâ or âwhat constitutes spamâ in the game EULA/Rules

yeah poor bullied boosters 
all they want is to help people swipe their CC on token and help them get their little boost !
Just buy tokens they are cheap as f.
I buy myself 1-2 tokens monthly and run two subs. Sadly I canât buy tokens on EU.
Only service I think are expensive are name change , race change and faction change. Simply for what they offer for that piece, but again I donât use them as much I use token service.
Maybe learn to read next time?
This policy update does not restrict individuals or guilds from using the provided in-game tools (âtrade channelâ chat) to buy or sell in-game items or activities for in-game currency. However, âboosting communitiesâ, especially those who operate across multiple realms, are no longer permitted.

Take your own advice. :3 You typing adverts in trade chat, if enough people on the server donât want to see it is considered disruptive chat/spam and falls under THAT very rule which is why people end up actioned. As has been explained by blue posters many times before.

canât help the dumb blink I guess 
Sometimes itâs good to read w/ your eyes open w/o bias
Technically youâre both right.
It is ill-defined and open for speculation what is considered disruptive. It depends on the person reviewing the reports.
Aka: a bad or incomplete system that needs to be defined so people in good faith donât get falsely reported and temp silenced.
Blizzard specifically banned communities, particularly ones that operate on multiple realms. Per their own wording individuals and guilds are still safe and free to offer in-game items or activities in exchange for in-game currency.
Theyâre not even banning the advertising (in the form it was allowed previously) for the sanctioned groups, theyâre simply saying âif youâre part of a larger group, or we canât track how youâre getting paid for this, youâre banned.â The new rules allow individuals and guilds to keep advertising in trade, but do not allow people to create alts on a dozen realms trying to get âbuyersâ into their runs (for potentially untrackable exchanges of âgoodsâ).
I think this is a good change, but it needs to be extremely clear from Blizzard about whatâs going on.
Honestly? I think they need to make a âboostingâ channel. You can only offer carries in that one global channel, you can only exchange it for gold, and anyone found âofferingâ in whispers, yells, /say, trade, general, and so on, should be subject to punishment. Put boosts and carries in their own corner, restrict how they can do it, and then just crush anyone who breaks those rules.

the only reason it was ever allowed was because people didnt care, now with the changes if majority of the playerbase wants the change for boosting to stop being advertised all together it will. None wants to see a stupid ad, if you want whats best for the game, you would want as well the economy to be based around professions and material hunting and not needing to piggy back someone that has fat stack of cash to burn on tokens

Whatâs legal doesnât matter when the mob can lynch you itself 
That was banned a while ago, Blizzard just doesnât enforce it or does when they want. You are confusing the changes in policies.

Ty for explaining that. I read it and thought thatâs what it was but then started reading other peopleâs takes on it and got confused so much appreciated.
As for making a boosting channel, I think this is a great idea and donât know why they donât just do that.

These people they just argue for it because their whole plan for the game is around boosting, and they canât understand that a thing like that is only alive as long as the community/dev allows it, they canât imagine what the game going to be without it. Even if its better without it and you can make gold without having to carry people
Things can change as the community sees fit. Players lets just say⌠talked differently 10 years ago in online games. Things change all the time
What is considerate to others differs person to person though. That would be like the speed limit being âdrive at a safe speedâ while good advice it doesnât actually mean anything when of you break the rules by someone elseâs interpeta9you get punished even if you thought you were within the rules.
They should have it set that some number of lines of text are allowed within /2 in some time frame and any less than that is guaranteed fine.
