I've gone ahead and modified the current tournament to just say:
ChipTalk Tournament #11 NLHE $10+1
The words on the tournament description now simply say:
Weekly ChipTalk tournament - members only. Nothing else. This lives up to the policy that PokerStars sent me and yet we can still do our "Private" tournaments.
I've also gone ahead and set up the tournament for next week (#12) as I will be out of town (again) during next week. (Sigh- going to hate missing all these tournaments).

Not to mention that they make money off of every entry, so what are they whining about?

I agree - they seem to forget that they make money off every entry here - but as SpeakEasy stated the web sites could promote other sites. So all in all - they are just trying to place some guidelines here and keep things from getting out of hand.
I used to run a commercial web site with an open message forum. I was trying to get folks to talk up the topic at hand while they purchased items from my site but it turned out to be a Free-for-all advertising forum for competitors and was taking away business from me. So I understand how "freebies" can hurt.
