2 - Thou shalt not use thy forum to...

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.
