fwiw I disagree with this. People often ‘advertize’ or argue for things on the Forum—e.g. promoting some new EA project, saying ‘come work for us at X org!‘, or arguing strongly that certain cause areas should be considered. The main difference with this post is that the language is more ‘advertizing-esque’ than normal—but this seems to me an aesthetic consideration. I’m not sure what would be gained by OP rewriting it with more caveats.
Re “one of the most effective charities”, OP does immediately justify this in the bullet points below—it’s recommended by The Life You Can Save, and Givewell says it ‘may be in the range of cost-effectiveness of our top charities’.
