1 - Thou shalt post constructively.
Make your posts have a positive point. Posting just to complain without an effort to turn something positive or posting just to say 'is that so?' is a waste of reading space.
2 - Thou shalt not use thy forum to troll.Click here to read the entire tutorial

Basically it just means that there must be NO advertising in your signatures.

Due to some ambiguity and inconsistency regarding the rules use of Social Groups to advertise products and services, I have updated commandment #6 to explicitly prevent advertising via Social Groups. Specifically the change is highlighted below in red:

Quote:
6 - Thou shalt not peddle thy wares

Advertising is allowed on the site via banners and auto-linking but not through posting. Threads, posts, blogs or Social Group Posts designed to bait and hook or advertise a service or product for your financial gain is a sure fire way to get your post deleted and possibly get banned. I no longer allow threads, posts, blogs, or social group posts to be made offering 'special deals' or 'special deals for geeks only'.

If another member is asking about your product or service, or if your products or services are relevant to the topic at hand you may respond without wording that would consider the post to be an advertisement. Once again, I would encourage you to ask a moderator if in doubt about this rule to avoid deletion of posts, an angry mob of geeks and a potential ban.

New to the forum so being careful

Hi

I am new to the forum and have been looking at discussion regarding Nail Canes. It seems many people are having difficulty obtaining them in the UK. I have recently started buying from a local manufacturer/distributor and would like to share this information without breaching your rules on advertising. Am I allowed to do this as it is not for personal gain.

I wont post until I hear from you

Thanks

Katie
