NO SELLING ON THE ADF.LY FORUMS

Post by adfly » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:35 am

With immediate effect, any posts asking to purchase or offering to sell scripts on these forums will be deleted.

This includes adverts in signatures. There are more suitable places on the Internet to buy and sell.

Repeat offending accounts will be removed.

Do giving links to helpful free resources count as "selling"?

It is reviewed on a case by case basis.. anything that requires a survey completion or similar is the same as selling and is it not allowed.

Have you considered an approved by you sales/services thread? I'm not sure why you made the new rule, but I can guess that your decision is based on protecting members and curtailing spam.

I understand you would get 100's of requests for review, and that would be extremely time consuming. Perhaps only allowing a certain number of threads for the same product/script/service/whatever would help. Maybe a paid to post buy sell trade section? That could combat scammers trying to just post on every forum they can, to an extent.

It possible we could do this in the future.

The reason is simply to protect adf.ly members (and ourselves) from fraudsters and spammers. There are better and more suited places on the Internet for selling this kind of information.

Forums where selling is allowed are just dominated by useless eBooks which are being sold to gullible users. I don't see why selling should be allowed here in any shape or form.

You can, providing the information useful and relevant.

But you cannot start multiple topics advertising the same thing. If there is already a thread about it, use that one instead.

Bumping posts will not be tolerated either. If it gets pushed off the first page, that happens for a reason.
