Advertisements For Other RP Sites

[darkangel76]

There's always been an unwritten/unspoken rule concerning how to deal with advertising various other RP sites. But, since this has been an issue lately.......... the need to spell it out has become necessary.

09. Advertisements For Other RP Sites
Not everyone RPs on a single board since not everyone's cravings can necessarily be met on a single board. Thus, several tend to RP on various RP sites so as to meet their RPing needs. Given this, we support and encourage this expansion of options. However, if you are going to indeed advertise another site (this includes posting an advertisement thread, posting an advertisement in your profile, posting a link as your homepage, posting an advertisement in your signature and even PMing others about other sites), we request that a link back to us be placed on this site you are advertising. Refusal to comply with this will give us reason to assume you are either a spammer or member poacher. As such, if compliance is not met, a formal warning will be issued and all advertisements will be deleted without warning. If noncompliance continues, harsher actions will ensue.

Again, avoiding problems is very easy as you need to only do TWO things -- PM either darkangel76 or Vekseid asking for permission and make sure the site you are advertising has a link back to us. Very simple.

Fast question: Does this also include F-List and Rabbit Hole links?

 

[darkangel76]

No. Those are kink/character links. This is for specifically advertising so as to recruit members to other sites. It's fine to do this so long as the courtesy is extended and thus a reciprocating link back is made. However, we also need to be aware that people are doing this BEFORE they jump the gun.

Since apparently I need to go this far in explaining.......

EVEN IF YOU PROVIDE NO LINK BUT MENTION IN YOUR 'AD' THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE ONE IS STILL ADVERTISING! YOU NEED PERMISSION! WITHOUT IT YOU ARE CONSIDERED A MEMBER POACHER AND/OR SPAMMER. ABOVE CONSEQUENCES WILL STAND.
