I did not report it, but I did send him a private message reminding him of the self-promotion policy. I tried to be polite. If I'm out of bounds doing that, please let me know.
The video is not selling anything, but has a link in it's comments to a facebook page that does have some items for sale. I have no idea what the purpose of the video is. His French accent is worse than mine. A quick Google search on his name indicates he is a developer of a conlang.
I appoligize if I'm making this topic more confused than it should be. I may be falling into the, "What about this?," trap.
You've run into the grey area which I normally leave to the moderation team myself. It could be this person is just introducing themselves to the forum, or they could be a drive-by spammer. I'd be inclined to report it and let the mods decide. Or in the case of a grey area like the one you've linked to, just ask the person to introduce themselves to the forum. If there isn't any response in a few days, it will eventually get buried by new topics.
