So I just joined this forum a few hours ago and I already have some kind of infraction because of the links in my sig file???

Based on what I've been seeing, even BEFORE I signed up (and I've been using this site as a reference for the past couple of years), EVERYONE has some kind of affiliate offer/ link in their sig file. I have 4 links. Only TWO happen to be actual affiliate offers; I'm a RESELLER for one, and another is my income opportunity...

What exactly is different about mine from the tens of thousands of other WF members who have links in their sig files that lead to affiliate-related offers... or better yet, blatant advertising posts recommending an affiliate product?

?????Can someone explain the reasoning behind this please & let me know exactly what I'm doing wrong?????

    You should submit a support ticket. If you see someone else breaking the rules with an affiliate link - you should report it, rather than complaining that because someone else has broken the rules you should be allowed to as well.

    If I were you, I would edit your post and it's title before you get banned - and no, I'm not going to report you.

    SIGNATURE FILE RULES

    Sig Files are getting out of hand.

    We're getting all colors of the rainbow and some people are using massive fonts...comes a time when things need to get back into line so...

    NEW SIG FILE RULES

    (1) Maximum length of sig file is 5 lines which includes any blank lines used for spaces.

    (2) You are only permitted 1 color in your sig file, this can be any color so long as it's black (hyper links can be blue as they come up this way on the board)

    (3) Sig files may only be written in the normal standard font size.

    (4) You may bold or italicize but that's it.

    added by admin:

    (5) No Affiliate Links Allowed - Promote Your Own Domain/s Only. It's either this or we have to cut out sig files altogether which we do not want to do.

    (6) Anyone Caught Promoting The Same Site/Offer Will Be Deleted. Program owners are telling their members to come here and make posts to promote their offer in their sig files. This has caused tons of useless messages to be posted and it is clogging up the forum. Anyone caught doing this will have to be removed. This is not an ad forum - it is a discussion forum.

    Edit: We have no problem with someone pointing to their WSO within their sig.

    Edit: Due to certain people trying to find a loophole I needed to add yet another edit. Please do not try to get around these rules by getting your own domain name and simply redirecting it to an affiliate program. You Will Be Removed From Here When Caught.

    If you want to promote an affiliate program do it on your own domain. Your own web site. Not a "pre-made" web site. Your own web site, a real one. Then put THAT web site in your sig file.

    A simple way to stay within this rule is this: Promote Your Own Real Web Site And Do Not Listen To Anyone Who Tells You To Come Here Just To Promote A Site They Created For You.

      The rules have been pointed out, and the proper response when seeing that has also.

      On top of that, you started a thread challenging the mods on things that are long established policy in this forum, and included "WTF?!?!!?" in the original subject line.

      Not exactly the best way to endear yourself to the folks here...
