NO ADVERTISING!!!

The title should be self explanatory...

Well firstly I would like to apologize as a leader and also member of this community, for not being readily available at all times or at least part of the day. Life is stressful and can keep me and many of the staff away from our duties, and for that I sincerely apologize. Although I cannot change what has happened, things must continue to move forward if we are to grow. So with that out of the way, I will continue.

ON THIS COMMUNITY, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FORM OF ADVERTISING ALLOWED AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!

Unless you have gotten verbal/written permission from a staff member on THIS community, no one is allowed to post any form of advertising here.

Examples of this being would include, but not limited to the following::

• Going into chatrooms asking people to your community

-Notice how I didn't specify which chatroom. ANY AND ALL CHATROOMS ARE INCLUDED. Regardless if they're public or private, don't do it.

• Making a post with the slightest *hint* of you running a community, without written or verbal permission.

• Making an on topic post that just so happened to have a link to your community.

- We've seen people do this and have reprimanded them for their actions. You're not slick and we will catch you.

• Making the slightest tweak in a post so that it looks like you follow the rules when you didn't (i.e. the same as the point above but slightly altered).

•And making a wiki for your community page. That's just asking to get caught then and there.

And staff let me know if I've missed any and I will edit the post as such.

This rule however doesn't strictly count against any and all social media platforms. We have an Instagram for our community, so it would be unfair to hold those able for advertising them when we also have it as well.

If you blantantly just post your with no information related to this community in more than 3 sentences, then it will be considered spam, and the post will be disabled.

If you are unaware of how you are to be granted these permissions in the first place, we have wonderful staff here that are more than willing to assist you in your questions.

Anyone caught not following this rule will be immediately banned on the spot with no questions asked! It also applies to endorsements!

I'm pretty sure you guys can read so there will be no exceptions for not follwoing this rule.

Think about it this way for some of you who find it unfair. Would you want me to randomly come into your community, with no interaction or care about your community at all, and just started spamming my community deets all over the place? I'd bet you'd be pretty pissed off that someone is ignoring rules and coming and promoting themselves.

It's like an unnecessary ment in every mobile game you play (and I know you guys play them). Or those unskippable ads on YouTube. It's really annoying and nine times out of ten you wouldn't want to see or hear of the thing. Your ments are annoying to people who didn't ask for information.

So to recap on the whole post::

•Advertising without the proper permissions is a bannable offense with no warnings given when you do it.

-You do it once, you're gone as quick as you came.

•If you want to , ASK A STAFF MEMBER FOR PERMISSION.

-Preferably the Leaders since we handle endorsements.

•Do not through uses of your posts, wikis, and public and private chatrooms.

-We will ask that anyone caught doing this, report it to a staff member and we will get it situated.

•Ask and with a staff member on how you would properly go about advertising.
