Forum Rules

Members of these forums must not :

1. Post libellous, insulting, antagonistic, racist, aggressive or otherwise abusive remarks about any individual or company either within forum posts or the PM (Private Message) system. We reserve the right to read the relevant PM or PMs where we receive a complaint that a forum user has received a PM or PMs breaking this rule.
   
2. Post swear words in such a way as to circumvent the forums' built-in swear word removal system (including in signatures).
   
3. Post any images or text which are pornographic or violent or otherwise inappropriate for the viewing by younger and older people alike.
   
4. Promote websites which contain inappropriate material (such as pornography) or which are in competition with the Your Life AD Forums. Using the Your Life AD Forums via posts or PMs or in your profile to invite people to competing forums or websites is a bannable offense and we reserve the right to check PMs should we believe this is happening.
   
5. Post promotional information about any illegal activities (including bulk piracy of VCDs & DVDs). We will not permit people to use the forums to distribute files which are pirated or aid in the production of pirated material.
   
6. Post any spam. People posting spam will be instantly and permanently banned and their posts will be deleted.
   
7. Solicit business unless they are allowed in specific forums, and then the posts must conform to forum rules. An example of this is saying 'We sell...'. Soliciting business undermines paid advertising which keeps this site running.
   
8. Create their new threads in more than one forum. (Doing so is called cross-posting). You should pick the single most appropriate forum for your message. Duplicate posts will be deleted.
   
9. Use images from 3rd parties' websites without their permission. Linking to an image on someone else's website without their permission is considered to be bandwidth theft.
   
10. Include retailer or manufacturer/distributor information in their signature.
    
11. Have an inappropriate login name. We do not permit a login name which breaks any of the rules above or includes a business name. The only exception to this rule is if the member's business advertises with the Your Life AD site in which case they can include their business name in their login name.
    
12. Register more than once. Doing so will get one or both registrations and all the posts deleted.
    
13. Question the judgments or actions of forum moderators. They are far too busy to enter into discussions or arguments.
