Posting Guidelines
Here are a few guidelines which you should follow when posting on these forums.
1. Make sure you start threads in the most suitable category. Don't start the thread just to post your sites link.
2. Make posts that will help others and not just to spam your own sites link. Never say things like "For a good affiliate program check my sig/signature, to earn more money online look at my signature, etc." We only allow affiliate referral links in your signature and not in the actual content of each post.
3. Posts with just a link in and no other text will be deleted even if it's not a link to your site.
4. Don't post multiple posts one straight after the other in the same thread, don't bump posts, and don't start duplicate threads.
5. Dont insult other forum members and other members sites as this is a friendly forums.
6. Don't post press releases or articles. If you find a good article then just link to it and also mention a little about the article. Don't just copy parts of the article. Write in the post what you found good or bad about what the article says.
7. Keep your posts on topic as much as possible.
8. To be able to post in the 'Site Reviews & Critiques' forum, you must have at least 30 posts.
9. We the Administrator and Moderators are controlling these forums, so we get the last say of what stays and goes here. But anyway, enjoy using these forums.
Signature Rules and Guidelines
We have signature rules and guidelines in place. We allow you to have a signature if:
1. Your a member for at least 3 days
2. You have made at least 15 posts
3. You have more than 1 reputation point. (All members start of with 10 points, so the more you get along with others within these forums the more likely you will receive more positive points. If your posts help others alot then they are likely to give you positive reputation points. If you spam these forums then members are more likely to give you negative reputation points, which you don't want.)
All members signatures must include:
1. No more than 3 lines of text.
2. No more than 300 characters excluding BBCode Markup
3. No more than 400 characters including BBCode Markup
4. No more than 2 urls/links (clickable links)
User Infractions
What are user infractions?
A user infraction is given to a member that we feel has broken one or all of our posting guidelines and even other things on our forums. When you have been given an infraction for something it will mean that you will get some points given to you. The amount of points that you get per infraction depends on what the rule that you broke was. We decide if we feel that you should have an infraction or not so if you receive an infraction then please don't go moaning about it, posting it on the forums or sending us a PM.
Can I get banned from having to many infractions?
The simple answer to this is yes. If you keep getting infractions and reach 15 points then you will receive a 10 day temporary ban. Once 10 days is over you will be able to post on the forums again. If you reach 30 infraction points then you will receive a permanent ban. As long as you post with sense and keep all of the faq guidelines in mind when you are posting, you should then be fine. This system is in place to catch the people that are here to just break rule after rule.
Why do you use Infractions?
We use infractions as we believe it's a good system and will help to make these forums a better place for us all. All of the infractons you receive will have a date when they will each expire unless you have the 30 infracton points meaning a permanent ban.
Can other members give infractions to others?
No we do not allow this as people will abuse it. If people don't like you then they are likely to keep giving you infractions. Only forum adminstrators and moderators can give out infractions. Even though we may not like some of you, which I would doubt very much, we will only give an infraction to you because we feel that you have broken a rule/guideline and not because we don't like you.
Why have I got an infraction and someone else has not when they have done the same thing?
The other member most probably did get an infraction. It is just that you can't see it as we don't allow each member to see other members infractions.
Buy, Sell or Trade (Marketplace)
With our forums marketplace you should realise that you are resonsible for what you may buy, sell or trade while using it. You are not allowed to sell anything illegally obtained including pirated copies of software. You may use our forums to buy, sell or trade with others at your own risk.
If you buy something and you don't receive the product or service that you paid for, then we will not refund you for your loss. It is your responsibly to do all the checks on the buyer, trader or seller before each deal takes place. If you send us an email asking for a refund for something you bought from using our forums, then we will not refund your loss and we will just ignore your emails and PM's.
User Policies
What shall I do if I have a dispute with other members?
If you have a dispute with or members then please just ignore them. We are a growing forum and have alot to do, so we unfortunately have not got the time to sort out everyones disputes.
Can I delete another members post or have it deleted or can I have all my posts deleted?
If you want all your posts deleted or quite a few of them, then we will not allow this. Using our forums means that once you post something, we will then automatically own the copyrights to the content contained within each post. If you would like another members post edited then you will have to ask the member to edit the post. If they can't edit the post then ask them to contact us via PM and we will do it for them.
By using these forums, if anything happens to you or anyone else, we will not be held responsible or pay for any damages that may result from using these forums. This includes all sections of the forums and even the rest of the affiliateseeking.com site.
Please note that these rules are likely to change from time to time, so please check back often. |
