If your AI is there at a club and is advertising that would probably
considered spam, and grounds for banned for life status and that sort of
thing.

Unless like in Usenet you are allowed to have your own signature and
like many website forums that signature can contain a link.
"yes but no one or not many people would click on that so I want to be
able to have banners in front of me when I walk around because they
really need the product I am selling"

So the standards committee says?

"A place for everything and everything in it's place"

But it still has to determine if spam of any sort is acceptable and I
would think the signature concept permits spam in some ways, but it is
not affective advertising, but, maybe its better than nothing.

The whole spam thing is a bone of contention everywhere on the net.
Not on websites that fish for hits, but in social gathering places its
distracting. And well the club owner will advertise on the walls.
But the patrons probably are not allowed to sell their stuff in the bar.
But they can't stop you from talking about it.
But they will bar you if someone tells them this guy keeps trying to
sell me stuff.

Moderators will be busy. Moreso at first until everyone gets use to what
you can get away with and what you cannot.

To avoid coding for nothing we will use the 'everything in its place'
concept, and the 'social norm' behavior model, and the 'common sense
between men of good will' concept.
