Advertising and Spam
Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:20 am
Although it is unlikely that the main culprits will read this before posting, it is important to note that unauthorized advertising is not permitted on the FaithWriters Message Board. All spam will be removed within hours of posting, and the member account will be deleted (and their IP address banned).
We have a zero tolerance attitude to spam/advertising. Even if the "member" never posts an actual message on the boards, their account will be immediately deleted if it has been obviously created for the sole intention of using this forum for advertising purposes.
Legitimate new members are encouraged to post a message in the Newbie Nook to introduce themselves to the "community" before starting a new thread. We want to get to know you.
Although advertising isn't permitted generally, there is a certain degree of leeway given to long time members who are actively involved in the FaithWriters' community--however, this sort of advertising should still only be of the "Cheering Section" type of announcement (where a new business is being announced), or if special offers are being offered to FaithWriters members.
These rules are purely designed to protect members and to ensure that our message board remains a pleasant and safe environment for all.
Love, Deb
