In defense of GoDaddy (erk), ignoring spam complaints can be very costly, with some blocklists' policies being to block regions of IPs instead of singular spamming IPs*, and so it's often a better policy to have a knee-jerk about this.
Additionally, the rasfw charter doesn't explicitly allow advertising - but then, nor does it explicitly disallow it. I think, however, that the default these days is definitely "do not advertise".
That said, it's moderated, and if the moderator allowed (and has a history of allowing) said post, then it's kosher in my view.
Which leads me to the conclusion:
GoDaddy's customer support sucked rotten eggs through a pair of old socks but, as I read it, their suspension and reactivation policies are downright extortion. After reading this, especially from a regular as respected as Brody, I'm not going anywhere near them, and I will advise anyone else I meet not to, as well. That's just seriously bad.
*and rightly so - a particularly devious host could go "oops, swapped this blocked customer's IP with a previously unblocked customer's IP and whoops again! Innocent customer singled out by spam list. Bad blocklist! Evil blocklist!
Yes, this has happened. Lots.
