Adding Value vs. Self Promotion

I am very conflicted about this, and I ask the moderators and admin to chime in and come up with the best solution.

One core rules or guidelines in any community, be it in Skool or outside is mostly "no self promotion." However, when you see a video post that has rich, relevant, and adds so much value to the community, but is redirected to their own social media (so when you click the link it goes straight to their X, Twitter, YT, etc), what do you do as owner, moderator, or admin of the community?

Do you kick out the member, or do you delete the post and give a warning to the member, or you strictly follow your rules to the tee.

Your members find value to the post and the contents, but the link is their own social media post.

If I own a community, honestly, I would be very conflicted. I am now actually. But one core value I have is ethical practice.

This is by all means not to degrade anyone who may have done this or accidentally is unaware of the rules. I am truly conflicted as I find this is an ethical practice issue

What would you do if this is your community? Or you are a moderator or admin and you found this?
