Advertising in spam; quick question

Im sorry to bother everyone but I have an immediant question.

I have a spam forum so people wont spam my main forums. If someone goes in and writes an advertisment for say ( about ipods ), is this against any rules of IF?

I know the basic rules and TOS of IF but things like this can be a little funny with some places. Please answer soon so I know if I need to take care of it.

Thank you for your time

The rules in the TOS against spam are relating to you and/or your members spamming other forums/websites/emails, not your own forum.

However, depending on the type of ad it was, I suppose it could violate the rule against placing ads on your forum without purchasing ad-removal. :unsure:
To be honest, I'm still not entirely clear on what types of ads you're allowed to use on an IF forum without ad-removal, so you'd better wait until DuffMan or somebody who knows more about that can answer. :/
Unfortunately, it's about 5am where most of the admins live.
(2am here, but I'm silly like that. :rofl: )

Ok thank you Phrank.

I know some places can be a little funny about what material is placed even if it isnt in the rules plain as day. I expect any member that joins my forum to abide by mine and IF's rules.

So what I expect from them I expect from myself and thats why I asked this. If anything I will edit his post to hide his advertisment until I get an answer.

Again thank you.

EDIT: Sorry I feel like an idiot. I just seen that this wasnt for forum support. So if a mod would move it to the right place I'd appreciate it. Ever have one of those nights. :wacko:

Advertising within a spam topic, i should think its ok, if you was to advertise it on the index page that would be a differant matter, so like Phrank said best to wait for either Brian, Duffman, Lightsup55 or Seth.

Ok thank you for help Seth and to everyone that replied.

I have certain rules on my board for what type of content that can not be posted but as for this I wasnt sure by IF's rules. I check all the links to make sure they dont go against my rules or IF's rules that I do know.

Again thank you and you can close this.
