User Agreement: Advertising & Promoting
ADVERTISING & PROMOTING
Only established members (at least 50 posts) are allowed to post and share their personal sites with others, whether in a post, link, signature, profile, or private message. When you have 50 posts, you will be welcome to share your site and/or add it to your signature, profile, etc. We do this to prevent people from joining simply to drive traffic to their site. Personal sites must follow the Advertising Guidelines listed below.
Do not advertise. Period. If you do, your post will be deleted and you will be banned. This includes links in posts, signatures, & your profile.
Do not post links to your site or to a friend’s or associate’s site with the intent to advertise.
Do not attempt to use the forums for financial gain of any kind.
Do not attempt to use the forums as a way to drive traffic to your site.
Do not post links to affiliate or referral programs where you earn points, cash, etc.
Do not attempt to gain access to the members of this community to deliver any type of message.
Do not ask forum members to email you, PM you, or other otherwise contact you regarding your business, your product, your service, your site, your event, your ministry, etc.
The only possible exception to the advertising rules is if you are an established member of the community (over 50 posts) and someone, unprompted by you, asks a question regarding a product or service that you happen to provide. Then you may honestly respond to the question with a discreet link to your website or other information.
