3. Sales & Promotion
3.1 Selling and Promoting Outside of the Trading Post
Selling or promoting products, services, or platforms is only permitted within the Trading Post section of the forum, unless:
You mention your approved listing on your profile.
You advertise in your signature as a Sapphire, Platinum, or Founding member.
For the purposes of these terms, “selling” refers to offering, soliciting, or attempting to offer products or services for monetary compensation, barter, or other value, either directly or indirectly. “Promoting” refers to the act of advertising, endorsing, or drawing attention to a product, service, brand, business, or external platform in a manner that implies or encourages commercial interest.
Examples of selling or promoting include (but are not limited to):
Posting threads or comments offering services, products, or tools for sale, rent, or exchange.
Publicly requesting users to DM, message, or contact you to learn more about a product or service.
Embedding sales copy, marketing language, or call-to-action phrases in discussion threads (e.g., "DM me for a great deal", "I can help you with that - contact me for more information").
Promoting affiliate links, referral programs, or monetized URLs outside of approved signature spaces, threads, or profile fields.
Linking to websites, channels, or landing pages whose primary purpose is to generate sales, leads, or traffic to a commercial service, even if no direct sale occurs on the forum itself.
Discussions or casual mentions of tools, services, or platforms are permitted when clearly non-commercial in nature (e.g., personal experiences, non-affiliate recommendations, or contextually relevant mentions), provided they do not violate any other forum rules.
Members unsure whether a post may constitute selling or promoting should contact the moderation team before posting. Violations may result in notice points, thread removal, or account restrictions.
