I am dedicated to developing and maintaining a friendly online community, where members of all technical backgrounds feel relaxed and comfortable. Like any community, we have standards. When members join they agree to abide by these rules. Repeated violations of these standards may result in being barred from entry or participation in the advertising community.

Participation
 

• Respect others’ posts – We all have opinions and programs we promote. Abusive comments will not be tolerated, and we reserve the right to remove the comment without warning and/or ban you.

• Promote and sell your goods – That’s what advertising is for, and we created this site for that.

• SPAMMING of any kind will be tolerated when using on-site messenger.

• No trolling communications – Those who like to disrupt discussion with disruption between sponsors and referrals. Report them.

• Be kind to other users – You are a user too, be kind and helpful.

• No profanity, racial slurs and/or sexual innuendos.

• Don’t abuse the “report abuse” – Be fair and use it sparingly. If you make extra work for us flagging legit stuff, we’ll ban you.

• No Piracy or unlawful activities – This community is a place for ideas and constructive participation, and not a place to violate any laws or to discuss illegal activities. You post it, we will ban your account and you run the risk of being reported to local authorities.

• No flaming – Be respectful and objective at all times.

General Rules

You shall not post any Content which;
 

1. is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, harassing or threatening,

2. contains viruses or other contaminating or destructive features,

3. violates the rights of others, such as copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or violates any right of privacy or publicity, or

4. otherwise violates any applicable law.

Best Practices

These will help gain you respect when interacting with others:

 

• Think before firing off a half baked response.

• If you disagree with anything, it doesn’t matter, just keep the peace and go about your own business.

• Vote based on quality and factual content, not who’s posting.

• Writing in all capitals is considered SHOUTING, and it’s not pleasant.

• Here is your chance to build on your brand and reputation.

• Be helpful and courteous, and it will come back to you.

• Don’t use “best”, “greatest”, etc, unless you can back it with facts or state it’s your opinion.

• If you're not progressing with your programs, ask the community for help/opinions, don't quit.

• People appreciate new ideas and new angles to opinions, well thought out plans.

• If someone helps you out, give them a big thank-you – it goes a long way.
