Is it allowed to raise questions about marketing/partnerships in this forum?

You can draw your own conclusions, but it’s not the only discussion that has been shut due to a breach of community guidelines, or due to breach of the quoted point in particular.

That was added to the Forum Guidelines (as a part of a major revision) on September 23rd 2019.

If you want to, you can go through all revisions made since the forum guidelines were posted a couple of years ago.
