ADVERTISING
We've recently had issues with members advertising their site through PM, and on the site itself.
- Advertising your website through the PM system is strictly forbidden. Users found doing so, however minor the case may be, will be banned without warning.
- Advertising your website through the shoutbox system is also forbidden. If you are found doing it, you will be banned from the shoutbox.
- Advertising your website through the posting system is not allowed. The only time another sites URL is allowed is when it's the password. If it's a "fake" non existent password just to post your URL, your posts will be deleted and your account possibly banned.
- If you see an advertising PM, hit the report button to the bottom left of the PM!
If you see a user violating the Advertising rules, please contact the Staff immediately.
