There is no consensus about that. In Z2 users flags are subject to the ZC's fiat. Other zones may have other restrictions. FTS-5001 says this about user flags: "advertisement is strictly prohibited".
You want to advertise your BBS, don't you?
There is a nodelist field that has less restrictions: the system name field. AFAIK the only restrictions are that for an IP or email capable node it must not look like an fqdn or e-mail address.
So you could put this in the system name field: "Paul's_BBS:12345"
