I think there should be a no advertise rule in the guidelines

Technically it's already implicitly in the guidelines. Advertising goes against the “Be Constructive” rule, as an advertisement to another project is not a constructive comment.

and as far as I know advertising isn't strictly against the rules to advertise, but it's just considered to be rude if the project creator doesn't want it on their project.

What if someone wants advertising, e.g they want to see new projects? The Explore tab has some great projects but a few of them are just random filler or even just sprites with no scripting and you have to be very creative in order to find stuff in the search, so usually, letting people advertise is the way to go if you want to see cool projects.

Advertising is necessary for human life. NECESSARY. And every site designed for humans should actually be suitable for human use.

No support.

Some people actually like to see advertisements.

Technically that's not advertising, it's recommending

I think it should be report-able if you state clearly ‘No Advertising’. It's unfair to people who want actual feedback on their project but instead get annoying links. I think it's fine if you're asked to give feedback on a project but only on someone's profile should that be allowed.

Literally true, advertising gives literally everything. The reason we all are even here is because the Internet and Scratch were advertised.

Can you give a reason why advertising a project would be necessary? You seem to have missed that. Advertisement may be necessary for other things to happen, but in the case of Scratch content advertisement on it's not necessary and often considered rude.

How? Especially if you don't actually say “please advertise here”, but still don't mind advertisements.

Please do not edit my post in your quote. My original post had a “/s” at the end of it.
