Get the ad ragemug. An individual or group who discretely tries to toss in a plug for a product or service they offer for sale. Many times there will be 2 more offenders who try to make a fake coversation on a topic for a product they sell or offer, drop a free advertisement giving the name and contact information for their company, and hope desperately for the phone to ring as a result of the name dropping.
I wish this "ad whore" would stop using our website to drop their name and leave unpaid advertisements for their company, they are not appropriate and against the TOS of the website.
