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.

EDIT: War Room members are allowed up to 6 lines.

(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.

EDIT ADDED 3 May 2011: The new WarriorPlus affiliate links for WSOs are not allowed either.

(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.

Thanks guys, seems like i finally got it!

Hmm, so blogspot site isn't ok?

I don't think there is anything wrong with blogspot per se.

However, having an empty page (=no content) with only an affiliate banner link... is not "your blog". There is no blog there. Period.

You are just trying to cheat, to go around the rules.

But if i have on my blogspot site only a few sentences of written content and 1 video - will it be within the rules?

I'm curious...what is the downside of #2? A little color might be nice if done within reason.
