Advert moderators need some rules added to their checklist

Can we please not tolerate ads that are intended to look like they’re selling / giving away a legitimate ROBLOX item. On the game icon wiki page, the first example icon ROBLOX goes over:

is not allowed because it "A) Using a non-sponsored Roblox game, or applying non-brand approved Roblox logos (please contact our CM department for more information) ". In other words, it’s making it seem like it’s endorsed by ROBLOX when it’s not – that’s clear testimony that’s against the rules. Not only does the ad above lie to the user and scam them out of their time, but it also implies that they’ll get a ROBLOX item (which they won’t), and only ROBLOX can give out ROBLOX’s items, so that implies that the ad is sponsored by ROBLOX. It’d be great if that type of notion could be added to the “how about no” checklist for advert mods.

Here are references to the ad, in case it’s already against the rules and just happened to get through:

Applying similar standards of professionalism that the icons have to ads would just be super neat in general.

Obviously advertising updates should be okay, but otherwise most would help, and it would help improve the professional look of the site in general (which is part of what I suspect the admins intend with the icon changes).

Enforcing ads to relate to what they’re advertising!
