Seeking clarification on the In-Game Advertising policy

See title.

Quoting from the policy:

Individuals and guilds selling boost or assistance in raiding, dungeon, or PvP activities for gold is allowed but can only be advertised in-game through the Trade Services chat channel. Advertising for gameplay activities should be done by a WoW player-character who intends to participate in the gameplay activities. This means there should be no cross-realm advertising, and there should be no advertising from non-participating players.

[Emphasis mine.]

Does this mean that someone using a level 10 bank alt to advertise, say, Raid carries, in Trade(Services) falls afoul of the rules, even if they intend to log over to another character that can do the content?

I ask this cause I had a group of people shouting me down with “DON’T BE WEIRD BRO” “SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS I CANT USE L10S TO ADVERTISE BRO” (among other things) when I pointed out that it’s against the rules to advertise on low level characters.

Pretty clear cut the player has to advertise on the toon participating plain and simple

If that’s the case, then the article should probably say ‘…should be done by a character who intends to participate…’ and ‘…no advertising from non-participating characters’. (…or perhaps provide examples in the article of what’s okay and what’s not okay.)

‘WoW player-character’ and ‘non-participating player’ are a bit ambiguous which people are all too happy to take advantage of.

Strait from the policy i dont get wheres teh confusion
should be done by a WoW player-character who intends to participate in the gameplay activities

“WoW player-character” (and “non participating players”) makes it sound like it applies to the player, making them think it’s okay to use a L10 to advertise, then swap to a L70 to do the content once they get a buyer.

At least with “…should be done by a character who intends to participate in the gameplay activities”, there’s no wiggle room to abuse for justifying advertising on a L10.

All i will say is keep reporting and let blizzard make the final call they may give some clarification in the morning.
