what constitutes a post of commercial nature?

is it when a business or non-profit will gain money from posts?

A commercial post is an advertisement for a business or individual acting like a business, promoting itself or offering for sale a product or service. Non-profits are specifically non-business like (they don't make or intend to make a profit or pay taxes) and are therefore non-commercial by nature. Unless you file a form 990 tax return you are not non-profit.

Selling anything, be it business or personal, is forbidden except by prior arrangement. Those prearranged conditions are:

1) Members may sell personal property in the For Sale/Classified forum(s).

2) Sponsors may promote their business or products in any forum but may only make unsolicited offers for retail sales in the Sponsor's forums set aside for that use.

Sponsors are considered Members so they can post whatever Members can.

Other arrangements which aren't covered can be made in advance by contacting sales at s2ki.com.

A username that depicts a business name is considered commercial as every post is promoting the business and requires being a sponsor.
