Is advertising on other peoples projects allowed?

I often see comments on projects that say "this is cool. please check out mine." Once I saw someone leaving the exact same comment advertising their project. Is this kind of thing allowed?

Re: Is advertising on other peoples projects allowed?

If you just say "Hey everyone look at my project", then yes, that'd be spam. However, if there's some similarities between the projects (if they were both racing games, for example), then I'd think it'd be acceptable to say something like "Nice game! One thing that would improve it though is ____, which you can see in my latest project if you don't know how to do"  smile

(BTW, if you'd scrolled down a bit you'd have found this thread, which is where I copied and pasted from  tongue )

OK thanks so much! [I wasn't thinking of doing it though.] What if It's simular but their still just like: "Check out my project"?

Hm... Well, the whole point of the comment feature is so you can receive feedback, so you'd probably need to put something about their project as well, but as long as the projects are similar, I'd think it'd be okay  wink

This looks like it is a duplicate of this topic.
