Advertising Rules
1. Advertising on this forum is easy and simple. You must simple follow the template. The template is not hard nor is it complicated. But the template MUST be followed at all times for Advertising. (If your site already has an AD contact a Staff member for permission to use in place) Ads that do not follow this template will be moved and the poster will be asked to fix them. The second time they will be simply deleted.
2. A huge policy that is enforced very strictly is that of Advertising in non proper places. An example would be advertising in the Chat Box or through Email/Private Messages. These two things are frowned upon highly and will result in immediate punishment. There are countless places to Advertise at so there is no need to Advertise via Email or Chat Box. If caught of this you will be warned once. The next time will result in removal of said ability. (Chat Box rights/PM rights)
3. I understand that constructive criticism is helpful and at times necessary but under no circumstance will being rude be tolerated. Putting down sites and poking fun at them is not only rude but very disrespectful. So please do not say hurtful things about other sites. (ex: "You site's layout sucks." That is very rude a correct way of saying it would be "You might want to think about your sites layout.")
4. In appliance to the first rule, following the Template is required. But there are times where certain aspects might not be able to be completed. (ex: A site where there is no plot) In this instance you simply contact a Staff member and let them know.
5. With most sites when you join you must stay active, and post an appropriate amount. This is not the case of our site. Now while active members are greatly appreciated. Once you join, and post an Ad your not required to stay active.
6. Site: moving, deletion, collapsing. If any of these things happen to your site your Ad might be moved. Say if you’re URL changes and the link breaks we will move the ad and after contact with us we will re-establish it. The same goes for if a site should "die". Don’t worry, in this case we will keep the Ads safe and locked and if the site becomes active again we will re-establish it. If any of these things happens to your site please contact an Staff member for assistance in the posting matter.
7. Please don't argue in the chatbox or in topics. I know sometimes it's unavoidable, but if you feel that you have to settle an argument, please do it through PM, where other members don't have to put up with it. And don't continuously PM someone if they ask you to stop. This will be considered harassment if they tell a staff member.
