Terms of Use Updated

[Sudrien]

ucp.php?mode=terms

The following was added:

You agree not to advertize any websites or products you may be affiliated with without disclosure of that affiliation. Doing so will lead to a permanent and immediate ban.

...this has been unofficial, but should be official.

* If it's not immediately obvious a website is yours, and it is, say it is.
* If you are offering somthing for sale on that site (like Etsy, for example) say so.
* Links in signatures - especially text links, left for search engines to find - will be scrutinized especially hard.
* If you reply to a thread created by a user in violation of this policy, expect the post to be deleted. Even better, just hit the "!" button and report it, rather than replying.

who did that?

 

[george1234]

All the spambots that came o the forum.

 

[Kerahna]

i don't think they care about posted terms of use anyway

 

[Sudrien]

Probably not, but it's better to have a warning than not to - for those that might unintentionally advertize-spam in the future.

 

[Special_K]

I reckon this should be made a sticky.

 

[Sudrien]

I'll sticky it for another week.

edit: Accounts "kristen" and "afrajimmy" deactivated due to this policy.
