Here are the basic rules of our forums beyond the (what I hope is obvious) fact that we are a family friendly site and you should behave appropriately in the forums. Please abide by them and email us at
info@savingadvice.com first if you have any questions regarding posting:
First and foremost, coming to the site simply to promote your site is a not acceptable. While I really don't like doing this, SPAM has become a big enough problem that it's now necessary.
You aren't allowed to have a link in your signature or post any outside links to other sites until you have made FIFTEEN (15) posts and be a member of the forums for at least one week. This helps ensure that you're here in the forums to give quality information to everyone and not merely to promote your site.
Once you have made the required 15 posts, please follow these rules if placing a link in your signature and in posts:
Affiliate Links: Affiliate links are not allowed in these forums. If you have a site that you want to recommend to our community, it should be good enough to recommend without an affiliate link.
Signatures: Banners and affiliated links are not allowed in your signature. You are allowed a single link in your signature and they should be to your personal site, not third party websites. A link to eBay or another auction site where you sell your goods is fine. If you have any doubts, ask first.
Links should not be colored or bolded. There is no reason to highlight your links. If you make good posts then people will visit.
Links in your signature must be appropriate. Links to adult content, gambling sites, pyramid schemes, illegal content or any other content that goes against the principles of this site will be removed. The Admins have the final and ultimate discretion as to whether your signature link is appropriate.
Links to competing sites that the admins deem similar to this site must provide a link back to our site on their homepage or the link in the signature will not be allowed.
Your signature should not exceed 4 lines single spaced - this is so that signatures aren't more prominent than the posts themselves.
Linking to your site in posts: Let your posts do your talking and convince people to visit your site. We allow you to link in your signature so we do not allow you to link to your site in the the body of the posts. If there is relevant information that you want to express that happens to be on your site, simply copy that information into your post here.
Freebies & Coupons Sections: Due to a huge increase in freebie and coupon spam, we have made it so that no member can post a new thread in the freebies section until you have made 15 posts. Any freebies or coupons posted outside the freebie and coupons section should will automatically be considered spam and deleted.
