Rules Clarification

[LithiumSolar]

Am I permitted to post my own videos here? Does that classify as "advertising" and "self-promotion" or is that rule directed at commercial businesses?

Advertising is not allowed. Affiliate links, self promotion, spam etc, will result in a permanent ban and your IP address will be listed. It is ok to post basic links to products you like, but if we find that you are a shill, you will be banned.

In the context of this thread https://diysolarforum.com/threads/welded-posts.38413/ was going to drop the video there, but unsure if that is "spam" lol. Thanks.

If you benefit financially by any links you provide, it is prohibited.

On a side note, I do enjoy watching your videos, I linked your Batrium CORE BMS video when it came out and use it for a guide on setting up my system that is in progress.

I was hoping to have a response from one of the moderators - @Supervstech is the response above correct in that a video view is "benefiting financially" lol? Another example is this post -

See this before buying Victron

On large cables such as #2AWG a ferrule is not crimped ahead of time, the cable ferrule combo is inserted uncrimped, and the lug crushes the cable properly. Providing maximum contact surface. Never saw this on any of my searches prior to doing my ferrules. Everything said to crimp beforehand...

Thanks.

As long as the video addresses a posted question, I think it's allowed.
Starting a thread to draw interest to a video you have made is not ok, but I'm sure Will would make exceptions for a quality video that addresses some issue of importance.

It might be best to send a link to the video to a moderator/admin ahead of time and request permission to post it.

But I doubt posting a link to a video that explains a problem solution on an established thread would be objected.

Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering the same thing, and didn't want to get banned for sharing my videos.
