Do I need to conceal or blur brand names?
S.E. has wrongfully deleted questions and/or suspended people for posting pictures with brand names, because by default they think all brand names are advertising and spam. I confirm I don't work for and have no relation with Acebeam or Imalent. Brand names can be relevant, if others need (to look up themselves) more details about the products. But it can be unclear from the outset if brand names are relevant. Any penalty or risk of suspension here if someone posts with the brand name first? This feels like the best foot forward because someone else (a moderator) can always just remove the pic, censor the brand herself subsequently, or ask the poster to repost the picture censoring the brand name. For example, I censored the pic below [in my question](https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/280990).
