"Advertising" in the traditional sense might bend some rules, but saying "Hey, I play here, it's fun because A, B, and C" falls within my interpretation of the rules. If you're concerned about it, I'd PM a mod. 
I have to say I agree with you. I've wanted to play with modding, but it seems like such a hastle to start and maintain a mod. I was/am hoping that an API will make entry into modding easier, but this complex system of control Notch is setting up is going to make that hard....

He's fucked over the modding community and players in general too much, and he finally hit a nerve; most of the modding community is going to reverse engineer his modding API (i'll get into that) to fix the problem with it: his involvement. Notch made it that the API truly will only support mods he compiles himself. How do you do that? He has to approve of it. His, not Mojang's. Binding licenses are involved, and it leaves it only truly serious modders to take advantage of it. Oh, he can also make your mod official without any signing, too. Most of this goes against the modder's ideals. I don't hate notch, but he certainly isn't quite the idol everyone sees him as.
