You misquoted the title.

8. No Deal Spotting

BladeForums.com stays open due to paid subscriptions from various member groups, including Dealers who help sponsor this site. A dealer who does not have a paid subscription is not allowed to advertise in any way, shape, or form. In the past, dealers have used 'shill' accounts to promote themselves & their products; as a result we've limited all dealer advertising to The Exchange or registered Dealers with active paid subscriptions​

The previous wording of the rule was less polite, but got the point across better:

Auction / Deal / Bargain Spotting -- Do not do this.
This is a variation of the "no spam" rules that we have. We know you found a great deal on a Ninja Death Tool 3000 - we don't care. If that dealer wants to advertise on BladeForums.com, encourage them to purchase a Dealer membership here instead of giving them free advertising.​

Previous wording?

Maybe you need the rules to reflect the previous wording then.

Again, I'm not a dealer, I'm a regular member.

And deal spotting is prohibited on the site.

You can start a thread in Tech Support if you have further questions.
