Are we allowed to recommend third party repair/upgrade companies or people on this forum?

[Jdoran_1968]

I'm a long time original XBox fan for more than twenty years now (my favourite genre is the first person shooter, for which the XBox was the indisputable king of it's generation), and when I bought my first model I had it chipped at the same time, to play homebrew on it. For years it also doubled as my media player, until high definition files came along that the otherwise superb XBMC was too slow to play. I upgraded the hard drive a couple of times, and it ended up with a 500 GB IDE hard drive full of XBox games, emulators, music videos, etc. The original XBox is a superb emulation centre for 8 and 16 computer/console/arcade games, with quite a few 32 or 64 bit games (such as Nintendo 64 or original PlayStation games) running fine too, though of course the extra hardware resources needed by some 32 or 64 games, and the older age of many emulators for these systems means that many other 32 or 64 bit games have graphical/audio/gameplay glitches, or even won't run at all on the XBox.

Anyway, a few weeks back I turned on the XBox, and it had somehow developed a video fault, the screen was now flickering. I found a business (in the UK) that I'd never dealt with before, and they fixed my faulty XBox, and refurbished two other consoles of mine, and their speed, quality of service, and prices are great, and I was wondering if I'm allowed to recommend them on here. What is this forum's policy on business recommendations for repairs and upgrades? I realise that, even though it would no doubt be helpful for some users (assuming the recommendations are genuine of course) then some 'recommendations' might be lies, especially if self-posted by a person/company or just plain scams.

So is a one time recommendation by someone for a given company OK, or is it against the rules (especially for a totally new user like me, though I'm a very long term user of Emuxtras (username of Clockface) and came here via:

You are good to go ahead and recommend the company if you wish.

We need more UK based people tbh.

Great, thanks (sorry for the delay in replying, real life got in the way).
