So apparently I made spam...

5 replies
I just posted a few minutes ago and it was reported as spam.

I would just like clarification on what is spam here. I was asking if people wanted to be apart of a product. I even put in the post I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

So someone please come straighten me out so I learn how to post here.

    Read the rules and the stickies in the main forum.

    Don't self promote - see my sig, click my link, call me on Skype, etc.

    Don't put affiliate links in the post or your sig.

    If you want to recruit or sell something there are paid subforums for that.

    Those will get you started. There are many rules here so it may take some time to learn the ropes.

      Ok thanks, I appreciate that. This is what I read and it didn't say I couldn't recruit but that makes sense.

      1. Do not use affiliate links in your signature file.

      2. Post in the appropriate section of the board. Questions about SEO or posts asking for advice on specific products belong in other areas. Not Main Discussion. Post them here and they're more likely to be deleted than moved.

      3. Use subject lines that indicate something specific about your question. Subjects like "Heeelllp!" or "I'm annoyed" are pointless and waste people's time. They also usually fail to get the attention of the folks most well-equipped to give you useful answers.

      4. Do not post complaining about specific people, guru or newbie. We're not the Internet police and we can't do anything about it. And we don't have a clue if the complaint is even valid. Most of them turn out not to be. So, the claim that you're just trying to "alert our fellow Warriors to this problem" most often means nothing. Even when that's your sincere intent, which isn't usually the case.

      5. If your thread is deleted, do not re-post it. Do not post a thread asking why it was deleted. Read the rules, watch how things are done here, and figure it out. This is not complicated stuff.

      6. Remember that threads get deleted for lots of reasons, most of them having no reflection on the original poster. They can be nuked because they're the umpteenth copy of the same discussion in a short period, because they're on topics which too often degenerate into flame wars, because they have nothing to do with making money, because they're pointless, because they tend to drift into bashing, and lots of other reasons.

      7. Don't assume anything when you see the word "Banned" under a user's name, other than that the account has been blocked from posting for some period. "Banned" does not always (or even usually) mean anything bad about the person.

      8. If your sig file is a bunch of keyword phrases with links on them, don't be surprised if it's deleted. If that happens, don't just re-insert the same sort of thing. Especially if there's no way for us to know the domain belongs to you.

      You are not allowed to link to other people's sites that way from this forum. If you get caught doing it, you're likely to be permanently banned.

      9. Read the stickies at the top of this section, and make sure you understand them.

      10. Don't be surprised if something is deleted and you're not told why. This place is too big. It would take more time than there is in a day for us to notify every person of the reason, every time we deleted a post or thread. And that doesn't begin to count the time that would be wasted arguing with people who don't understand or refuse to accept the rules.

      Deleting posts is not a personal thing. Don't make it one.

      11. Count on your posts being deleted if you make a lot of one-liners early on. We know what that's about, and we're as likely to delete you as your posts if you push it.

      12. Use some common sense.



      Could either one of you point me to the appropriate sub-forum?

    If it's an opportunity then this is probably the right place: Warrior Forum Classified Ads. I think it cost $20 to post.
