Thank you for taking time to view the rules that govern the SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forums. We do enforce these rules to the letter and of course, those that break the rules will be warned and/or banned depending on the nature of the offense.

The Rules

1. The SuperAffiliateTeen.com bulletin board consists of family-friendly forums. Anything we deem inappropriate will be removed, this includes posts, signatures, usernames, images etc. The offending member will be warned or banned without notice. This also extends to websites which contain inappropriate material.

2. SuperAffiliateTeen.com encourages the free and open exchange of ideas in a climate of mutual respect. Any action by a participant that infringes on another participant’s right to use and enjoy SuperAffiliateTeen.com’s bulletin boards is prohibited. You agree not to harass other participants or knowingly display any false, defamatory, abusive, obscene, threatening, racially offensive, sexually explicit or illegal material on the service.

3. You may not permit any other person to access SuperAffiliateTeen.com discussions for any purpose using your account, ID or password.

4. SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forum’s Privacy Policy ensures your privacy on this site, however members who supply false information about themselves, in particular age and gender will be removed from this site instantly with the possibility that your ISP will be notified of your behaviour. Note: You are not obliged to give your age or gender upon registration and that is a right we guarantee, but the staff will not tolerate misleading information of this nature either in your profile or in threads. It is a security and welfare risk to our young members.

5. Multiple accounts are NOT to be created on SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forums for any reason. If you do so, you will be asked to choose the one you wish to keep and will have the other(s) removed. If you cause disruption in any way, shape or form with your multiple usernames you will be severely warned.

6. The goal of SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forums is to make sure everyone has a good time and can make friends and network to help each other make money online and offline. Obviously not everyone will agree with one another and we ask that you respect the opinions of others. Making sarcastic, or rude remarks directed at another member, or attacking others for holding views different to your own will not be tolerated. If you see this taking place, please report it to the Admin immediately. Do not respond to the aggressor.

7. Please remember to watch your spelling, grammar and abbreviations. Lazy English and Instant Messaging/phone text lingo is not appreciated by anyone and doesn’t help our many members who speak English as a second language. Please try and be as clear and precise as you can when posting. Remember to spell check your work using an online spell checker or MSWord and ALL CAPS is not to be used when posting comments. Ensure that you do not double or triple post. We have a handy edit feature to edit any comments back into a post if you can. We may consider it post-count boosting if you do this.

8. Under each forum you will notice a description. This indicates what sort of topics we expect to see in there, so be sure to read the descriptions carefully. If you are unsure about where to post your ideas, then please PM the Admin. Remember also to utilise the search facility provided by SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forums, otherwise you may find yourself repeating threads that have already been started.

9. When creating a new thread, think about how you want to start it. The first impression an individual gets from your thread is the title, so it should be as clear as possible. A thread with the title “Google”, does not give members much of a reason to visit your thread, let alone comment within it. Finally, please remember that all images uploaded to a thread must be relevant to the thread. Any that aren’t, will be removed for bandwidth reasons.

10. We ask that members don’t write threads introducing themselves because there is no discussion that can come from them. These threads will be closed, so if you want to introduce yourself there is an introductions thread in the “Introduce Yourself” forum.

11. Threads that are created with the sole purpose of providing negative commentary towards an actual person/persons are not permitted. If you wish to critique a public figure, make sure your comments are constructive and reasonable. These principles also apply to signatures, avatars, and the like. Additionally, threads that de-generate into nothing more than hate-filled ranting will also be closed and members will be warned in either case.

12. Signatures are permitted on SuperAffiliateTeen.com, but there is a need to limit the type of signature you can have. This is to help reduce the load time of a thread for members on slower dial up connections. You may edit your signature in your profile and include one (1) small image of up to 300×300 pixels and 100KB (102400 bytes) and up to 7 lines of 8-12 point (size1-3) text. We will not allow html codes in signatures… No audio, javascripts, iframes or other “tricks” allowed. The Admin has the right to remove anything at anytime. Please also remember to close all tags and not to use ‘ < nobr >’ . Last, please do not use excessive smilies. Smilies are a nice feature, but too many at one time can be very annoying. We are limiting smilies to 4 per signature. NOTE: We operate the signature rules on a standard 1024×768 resolution and on the SuperAffiliateTeen.com Expanded layout.

13. SuperAffiliateTeen.com Forums does not encourage members to openly discuss file sharing activities. Whilst we understand that file sharing is a fact of life and will be continued by a lot of people, we will not allow members to openly support this activity publicly. Any threads which discuss, request or encourage downloading of illegal material such as the movies or MP3s will be deleted by the Admin, and offending members will receive a two-point warning. Private discussion is between yourselves and is not discouraged, but we would strongly advise you look elsewhere for file sharing tips and advice. This rule WILL be enforced.

14. When posting a news article of any kind please ensure that you are allowed to do so first of all. Posting articles from sites that first require a person to subscribe is against the rules. Most subscription-based news sites will indicate in their “terms of use” statement that users are required to abide by copyright law and not copy and paste articles elsewhere. This defeats the purpose of subscription and harms SuperAffiliateTeen.com.

Personal Web Blogs/Journals

Your personal journal such as LiveJournal or MySpace is not exempt from our rules. If your blog contains language or images that are offensive and certainly not family-friendly then you must either filter such comments through a friends-only option or not link the site at all on SuperAffiliateTeen.com, which is the better of the two options as it allows you to keep personal freedom over how you manage your blog.

We will not warn you for the content of your journal, we will warn you for linking a site with offensive material.
