Has NWMLS gone too far banning "Coming Soons"?

Update 7-23: rebuttal post that basically says I suck by Carla Muss-Jacobs. Click here. But to those that read that post, this has nothing to do with sellers that decide they NEVER want to list on the NWMLS. It has to do with marketing BEFORE it hits the NWMLS, which appears to be a strict violation.
Update 7-22 4pm: If you are interested in helping me start a PreMLS.com group (virtual coming soon group for agents only, like the 1200 in Virginia) in your area, start by Facebook friending me at www.Facebook.com/FrankLLosa
Update 7-22 11pm Inman News did a story on my PreMLS.com service.

The NWMLS in Seattle Wa, appears to be the most strict MLS in the country with rules that appear to forbid all "Coming Soon" or premarket advertising. 
"No Promotion/Advertising When Listing Not Published: Members shall not promote or advertise any property in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited to yard or other signs, flyers, websites, e-mails, texts, mailers, magazines, newspapers, open houses, previews, showings, and tours, unless a listing for that property has been delivered to NWMLS, or input by the member."

Wow! Can anybody help me understand what happened in Seattle to ... more
