Forum for the Web - New Rules

[Ste]

Due to the large amount of multiple posts, spamming, over advertising by certain people/sites on this forum we have had to introduce a few rules for it.

IF YOU ARE POSTING A SITE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN SITE OR ONE THAT YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH THESE RULES DO NOT APPLY.

For example posting a link to Google Suggest at labs.google.com/suggest is fine and these rules do not apply, however if you had made your own site, are a moderator of a site or write for a site and want to post it in the Forum for the Web you MUST follow these rules:

1 - One thread per site ONLY. Do not create multiple threads about your own site, post all new related news in the one thread for it NOT new threads for each piece of news.

2 - Please try to include as many details about your site as possible and explain why people should visit the site.

3 - No sites which have inappropriate content not suitable for all ages can be posted.

4 - No sites which have offensive or racist content can be posted.

5 - No sites can be posted which offer illegal streaming of live cricket or other sports.

6 - Any sites not following these rules posted after 23th May 2006 will have threads deleted.

Thanks

thats a good plan cuz peoples always create forums and then makes a thread to promote it so lot of spam threads, my webpage link is on the signature and i think there is not any problem in that and even some sections of the webpage is cool to visit.

Yes there is no problem at all with links to your site on your signature as long as the signature size is within the rules. Feel free to create one thread for it and put it in the Top Sites list.

Do the sites in the Top Sites list have to be about Cricket or games?

Thread Closed.

It seems some people need a quick reminder of these rules.

Also if you are updating your thread please do not double, triple (or more in some cases) post. Please edit your last post.

Thankyou

Kev

Again I remind everyone that "Advertising at PlanetCricket without making a prior contribution to the forums is prohibited."
Don't think you will get away with joining PlanetCricket just you promote your website.

In addition to the above rules, do not post affiliate/referral links. Mentioning a website you have found is fine, but using PlanetCricket to try to earn points/money for yourself is a misuse of the point of this forum. Link directly to the main site in future.
