I see that a link to a DVD has been removed today, in keeping with the forum rules and I just wondered, if we now put a link up to DoneDeal to show a particular dog for sale, will that be removed? I'm not having a go, I'm just interested, as those links go up quite often, and also when people are looking for a particular item, i.e. a dog bed, people will often put links up, can we still do that or not?
Thanks.

Sorry, perhaps I need to clarify my 'no advertising' policy which has always been in force on this forum.
Direct and blatant personal advertising actually in posts is absolutely forbidden. However, you can make reference to an advertisement in a post (such as the Donedeal and dog bed as mentioned).
BUT I do allow you to use a signature as an advertisement with URL linking in it (as long as its within common decency bounds etc. and doesn't violate any other of the Rules).
I hope that's made it clear as mud?! Edited by Peter Banks - 13 July 2008 at 7:03pm |

Just so that everyone is fully aware, the ONLY type of "advertising" that is allowed on this forum in terms of the signature is as I have shown here (in my own signature).
You can go to your Profile and add the URL and IMG tags so that this will show correctly.
This can be changed in your "Profile Information" and should look something like this:
Start your [URL= and then immediately after that have your [IMG= then close the [/IMG and at the end close the [/IMG
Voila!
 That way - your picture and the landing page are incorporated in to the one image. No words. No advertising. No moans and editing from me!! Edited by Peter Banks - 16 July 2008 at 9:11pm |

Hi I'm a new member and was wondering if it would be ok to ask your members to answer a short questionaire for me. I am considering starting a new dog related business and am doing some market research, I do not mention the name of the business nor what I plan to sell.
Thank you
Libbylou

You can go ahead and post the website URL so our members can have a look at the questionnaire. It's just blatant self aggrandising that isn't permitted! |

Hi Peter, I replied to a girl who was looking for info on what to feed her puppy on the forums and gave her the link to Natures Menu - sorry! just realised that's a no-no ~ you can go in straight away and delete my post - sincerest apologies, i just read the rules and saw that that's not acceptable.
Apologies again,
Paula

That's ok Paula as far as I know...it's not as though you are the manufacturer of the dogfood and trying to promote your product. It's self promotion of one's own product/service/business for the purpose of profit making that's not allowed....
