I second this request, although my request does not anticipate that they *are* abuses :). For me, it's just a matter of intellectual honesty: if we ask Planet maintainers to propose guidelines about this topic, we should be ready to accept the possibilities that they are not considered abuses in their opinion. I take this chance to remind all readers that the current guidelines are available at http://wiki.debian.org/PlanetDebian, which has been recently cleared linked from planet.d.o (Planet maintainers: thanks for that!). I point that out for two reasons: 1) some recurrent complains about planet.d.o posts, other than "commercial spam", are clearly addressed in the guidelines already; 2) highlight that current guidelines are not clear cut (and that is not necessarily bad IMHO), there are already behaviors which are considered OK-ish if applied sporadically and a bit less so if applied recurrently.
