I don't think you can because to know somebody's intent without evidence you have to read their mind. So the line is drawn at 'direct advertising', i.e. do not mention it is for sale, do not list it for sale at the same time you post it in the gallery, do not talk about your website or store, etc.

There will always be people who think the forum is too commercial, some who think it's not commercial enough and some who are happy with it as it is. At the end of the day it will be less attractive for those in the first two groups than in the later one, so the self selection makes it the majority.
Those in the first two groups would typically find a place that fits them better or even try to run their own (which usually fail because there's not enough pragmatism and understanding of the necessary trade offs).
