That doesn't look right. It looks completely unprofessional.

Should it be-

"Absolutely NO ADVERTISING, and please keep posts on-topic."

I think that the sense of that sentence is "Please do not advertise" :unsure: As in "Please do not advertise and keep posts on-topic." . . .

It matters very little if you understand what it's saying.

I don't see why. :blink: And even if it were, I don't see why Dropkicksidekick's revisions make it correct.

I think it sounds better if you reverse it:

Please keep posts on topic and NO ADVERTISING.

Yea, "Please keep posts on topic and NO ADVERTISING." Sounds good. But nonetheless I don't mind it. I Never notice those kind of things anyways ;)

That sounds far worse. If anything, it should be shortened to:

Meh the way I read it there shouldn't be a comma, but still, it doesn't matter.
