New Guideline re Business URLs in Profile/Signature

[Kizzie]

One of our Mods has spotted a number of links to business web site in members' profiles and/or signatures.  Members are not allowed to solicit business here and this includes doing so indirectly or directly.  Thus, the guidelines is noe explicit and included under "Getting Started" in the Member Guidelines:

Getting Started

Begin by making a post in whatever forum seems most appropriate to you.  Many new members post an introductory post in the "Welcome to OOTS" forum, but this is not a requirement.  Please know that posts will be double posts are not allowed and will be removed.  Posts will also be edited or removed which include:

   

•   nonsensical, demanding,  argumentative, offensive, aggressive/violent, trolling, and/or gratuitous attention-seeking content;
•   overly graphic content or words and/or offensive, demeaning language;
•   any discussion of moderating decisions (these are to be taken up by PM with an Administrator or the Site Manager);
•   advertisements, solicitations (including business web site URLS in your signature or profile); and,
•   sexually explicit, adult-oriented materia[/i]l 

If you have a business link in your profile/signature currently, please remove it. Please note we will be removing any we as we come across them.

Tks,
