If your video would be relevant, like someone asks "what do people trade for [insert thing here]?" and you link your video about trading with said item, then that's fine. If someone asks you on your Message Wall or on a forum thread, that's fine.

But you're not allowed to go to multiple pages and leave comments like "HI IM DOING A SPIKE GIVEAWAY ENTER HERE IT ENDS AT 200 SUBS" nor "CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL I MAKE AJ VIDS".

The reason why this is against the rules is because the comments are usually where people trade, so having the comments clogged up with a bunch of irrelevant spam for your channel means that people won't see some comments from people actually wanting to trade. Thank you for making this a rule! Although, I do want a YouTube channel and to host giveaways, I wouldn't advertise without permission. It's an unkind thing to do. I've hosted events in my den and people have taken away everyone by advertising their own stuff.
