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 ~Polar~ |

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. )

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: ~Polar~ 4am here |

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. ~Polar~ |
