15.0 - Woodwork Forums - Advertising Guidelines
Woodwork Forums is a forum where members discuss and seek information from other members in relation to woodworking and like topics and is NOT to be used as a cheap advertising medium for any commercial interest, weather related or not. Blatant advertising in any Forum other than The Market Place is inappropriate and will not be tolerated. Advertising in the wrong area and without permission will result in the add being deleted and the advertiser receiving infractions and losing forum privileges, continued advertising may result in the advertiser being banned from the forums.

Having said that, Woodwork Forums does welcome members from the industry and will afford them limited opportunity to publish their offers and information to members.

To this end, Woodwork Forums has developed guidelines for the Admin Team to follow in respect of posts by members who have a commercial interest and/or those members who simply have a personal website. Those guidelines are as follows:
  • All members may include a website address in their Profile.
  • Members with more than 10 posts may also include a website address in their Signature and that website address will then appear in the Signature at the foot of every post they make.
  • Members may include in any post, any website address other than one in which they have some commercial interest so long a it is pertinent to the thread or post.
  • Members with a commercial interest in a website may only advise members of offers, etc with one post in any one of the following forums: ANNOUNCEMENTS, or MEMBERS' BUSINESSES & SERVICES, or SPECIAL DEALS & OFFERS FOR MEMBERS & Guests. Any more than one post or any posts in other forums will be considered as blatant advertising and will be deleted and the member may be banned.
  • The inclusion of logos, trade marks or links to other social media websites such as Facebook, is not permitted.
  • Only one topic may be made in any of the three sub forums however you may reply to your topic as required to update the original post. Admin can assist to correct any errors that you are unable to access.
  • Any member of the Admin Team at his/her absolute discretion, may move a post from general view where that post may breach these guidelines. The Admin Team will discuss the moderated post which and act accordingly when a decision is made. This may take a day or more.
  • Members who are deemed to be 'bumping' posts to keep a company or product in view will be warned once only. This includes 'cross posting' - posting the same or similar post in more than one forum.
  • Members posting in the Trade Centre forums should also read the Forum rules at the head of each forum that are part of these guidelines.
  • Members posting in the Trade Centre forums need to be aware and accept, that other members may reply to your post. The Admin Team accepts no responsibility for negative replies to your post in these forums provided such replies do not breach Woodwork Forum Terms of Use.
  • Breaches of these guidelines may result in either: a once-only warning via a Private Message and/or email, or, for a serious or repeated breach, in the offending member being banned from the forums.

The Admin Team are determined to enforce these guidelines with fairness for all. Should you find an instance that these guidelines have not been followed, please report the post.
