Discussion Forums - NO ADVERTISING
The rules for the discussion forums are simple, but MUST be adhered to: .
NO ADS AND NO SOLICITING IN THE DISCUSSION FORUMS. (see below)
NO SPAM EMAIL TO MEMBERS.
NO SPAMMING THE FORUMS (one message to multiple forums - including the ad forums)
NO INAPPROPRIATE POSTS.
(Go to the bottom of this message for rules on ad posting)
What makes a post an ad or solicitation?
Posts with no discussion value.
Asking anyone to contact you or asking them to visit your site.
Any links to your opportunity or company site inside the message text.
Posting a message as a ruse to getting someone interested in your business.
What IS allowed in discussion forum messages?
Links to generic pages for discussion or education purposes.
A SHORT message and one link to your site is allowed IN YOUR SIGNATURE (edit your profile to add a signature).
If a particular item is under discussion and a link will demonstrate a point, it MIGHT be okay if it's not just a ruse.
We are here to get to know one another and share ideas, not to recruit one another.
Messages that do not follow these rules will have to be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Do not e-mail any person posting here for reasons of promoting your business. Any reports of this will be investigated and the spammer may be banned from this site.
Rules for Advertising forums
Ads are allowed in the ads section IN THE APPROPRIATE AD FORUM. If the same ad shows up in all the ad forums, they will be deleted. Inappropriateness will cause it to be deleted. This is decided by the moderators.
The moderators don't want to be the bad guys, so don't make us delete your message or ban anyone!
Be nice and no one gets hurt, LOL.
Home Based Business - FORUM RULES
The following aren't allowed:
Chain letters, gifting, gambling, casinos, lotteries, gaming of any kind, downline clubs, HYIP, malls, offshore schemes, investment/stock schemes, non-mlm, no physical product available to the public, adult, dating, egold games, pay to's (e.g. pay to read), etc.
In short it must be a viable MLM/Network Marketing business with a real product available to the public. Income can not be derived solely from recruiting....you must have saleable products/services.
Biz Ad posts must clearly describe/disclose at a minimum (via website link):
* company
* rep cost (start-up & all recurring)
* comp plan (complete detail)
* retail/wholesale product (s) (with costs)
Do not do any of the following as it is considered forum/board spamming:
* advertising of any kind in any discussion board (e.g. blatant ads obviously .... but also no personal links and no "invitations". In other words don't solicit in the discussion boards.)
* post multiple ads in 1 day to 1 (same) ad board (this includes replying to your own ad to "bump" it up...when no ones else has replied. You can reply to a member reply in the same day).
* replying to your own ad with no meaningful content to "bump" it up....example a smiley face.
* post the same ad to more than 1 ad board...same day or not.
* post the same ad repeatedly without deleting previous ads.
* post off topic/wrong board (e.g biz op in the Product or Support Ad boards)
* reply to another's ad with an ad of your own
* post inappropriate comments of any kind including, but not limited to derogatory, racist, threatening, pornographic, vulgar, abusive, and so on (the usual).
* use the PM or email Member features to send solicitations for product/services or a business opportunity. This is UCE and an abuse of these features & the Members.
