Are Board Guides Exempt?

Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere but please can you tell me if Board guides are exempt from the 'self promotion' ban on MSE?
I didn't think anyone that worked for or ran a company were allowed to post about said companies comps?:cool:

    TomBeast,

    The BG's have to abide by the forum rules the same as members have to. If you find that this rule is being broken then on the offending post/posts click on the report button & explain why you have reported the thread/threads & the forum team will look into it

    If you look in the forum rules there is a section about the Board Guide role

    Site feedback is probably where this should have been posted

    I would say in some cases board guides would be held to higher standards, it has certainly how other forums I have helped moderate in the past have been. New members can usually be tolerated not knowing some of the more forum specific rules as they do not know necessarily...we cannot use that excuse :D

    (I am not a moderator here, but no other term really fits)
