General Forum Rules

'Business Users' may promote their company only in their own forum within the Local
Businesses category. Please read the business user target="_blank">overview for further details.

These rules apply to all Forum categories.

• We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness.
  Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.


• If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled.
  Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service who is not explicitly expecting
  you to contact them from an advertising forum post. If you glean information from
  anywhere other than your own forum within the Local Businesses
  category and use that information to contact someone and present an offer, it's
  SPAM and it will affect your Website account standing.


• Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it.
  You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important
  restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.


• All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes
  posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.


• Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined
  by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.


• You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum.


• Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate
  threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member
  with the intention of gaining exposure.


• You may not compensate anyone for any review or recommendation. Further, you may
  not suggest a tone (i.e. "Recommend our products...").


• You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes
  all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.


• You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting
  characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place
  by us. Please contact us if you feel
  a word or URL is unjustly censored.


• You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually
  explicit, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the
  community.


• You may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting
  one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it
  to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the
  nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.


• You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or
  services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services.
  This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's
  criteria will be removed without notice.


• Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.


• Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be
  removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to email the
  Administrator if you have any questions
  or concerns.
