Last updated: January 20th 2008

Warning! Your postings on this public forum will become public. Your text will be available to anyone with an internet connection.

By using this web site, you agree to be contacted by site administration, regardless of your account settings, when it becomes necessary to do so regarding your account activity.

The basic ground rules for discussions on AdvertisingHeaven.net are simple: be polite, use common sense and don't break the law.

You are permitted a maximum of one account, active or inactive, regardless of how many companies you represent. If you choose to ignore this important restriction, all your accounts will be disabled. If you require a temporary user name for any reason, please open a support ticket.

If you require a user name change, please open a support ticket. If you have forgotten your log in details and are unable to retrieve them via the system, do not create a new account, but please open a support ticket.

We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined both here and on the Forum. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. Please contact the Administration via our help desk at http://clients.advertisingheaven.net/supporttickets.php if you do not understand any of the rules, guidelines or policies outlined below.

Suspension of your account is a definite consequence of not adhering to these guidelines.

By using this forum, you further agree to abide by the rules set out on this page. AdvertisingHeaven.net staff assume members have read them and will not take ignorance of any rules as an excuse for not following the rules, policies, and guidelines outlined here.

General Forum Rules

These rules apply to all forum categories.

  • We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
  • If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them from an advertising forum post. If you glean information from anywhere other than the advertising forums and use that information to contact someone and present an offer, it's SPAM and it will affect your account standing.
  • Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.
  • All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.
  • Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.
  • You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum. You may not link to sites whose main income is derived from affiliate or referral links.
  • Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention of gaining exposure.
  • You may not compensate anyone for any review or recommendation. Further, you may not suggest a tone (i.e. "Go talk good about us on AdvertisingHeaven.net").
  • You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
  • You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by AdvertisingHeaven.net. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.
  • You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.
  • You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.
  • Advertising may only be done in the therefore assigned forums.
  • Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
  • Advertising the following products or services is prohibited and will cause your account to be cancelled:
    - weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)
    - alcohol
    - tobacco or tobacco-related products
    - prescription drugs
