This is just a reminder for everyone of the rules that you agreed to abide by when registering on the forum. Some people are not following them.
Message board rules
Please keep these rules in mind as you use our soap making message board:
1 - The Soap Making Forum will not tolerate obscene, racist or sexually explicit language. Personal attacks are not permitted. We reserve the right to remove posts that are abusive, hateful, or defame or insult anyone. We also reserve the right to remove message board posts that are off-topic or not in English.
2 - It is illegal to harass or threaten anyone. We take threats, harassment and stalking very seriously. Posts that might be construed as such may be deleted and made available to the proper law enforcement officials.
3 - Advertisements are allowed in the appropriate areas. Please visit our classified ads area. Please refrain frrom posting that are off topic such as get-rich-quick scheme. These posts will be removed and you may be permanently banned from this message board.
4 - You may not suggest or encourage illegal activity. SoapMakingForum.com will assist law enforcement officials in any investigation of such activities.
5 - You may not use usernames that are offensive, that suggest illegal activities or that are meant to imitate other users. Any such names will be blocked from posting on our message boards.
6 - You must respect the privacy of others. No posting of phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers or any other private information. We discourage users from posting such information even about themselves, as we cannot control how that information may be used beyond our message boards.
7 - No spamming. These posts will be removed and you may be blocked from using our forum. To be clear, posting with the intent to sell your wares, outside of the appropriate area and without the required statements, is as much spamming as those lovely posts with links to watches, cell phones, and ****. Suppliers have an area in which to post sales.
8 - You may have only ONE identity on this forum, and only one person can use an account. Multiple accounts will be frozen or deleted and users will be banned.
9 - Each member must have his or her own forum name and account.
10 - "I'm leaving" posts are not allowed. Should you wish to leave the forum simply go. Go now. Leave already... just leave and don't look back.
11 - You participate in these craft forum discussions at your own risk. SoapMakingForum.com takes no responsibility for the content or opinions posted on this forum.
12 - Profile signatures linked to personal sites for self promotion will be limited to two and extra links will be deleted. Font size cannot be larger than the default font size formatted for the SMF site and all lines must be of the same color. Banners are not allowed.
13 - Avatars should be within propriety boundaries which are acceptable for viewing by all age groups. Offensive avatars will be deleted.
14 - Usernames may not be an URL or an email address. Members who sign up with either will have their accounts deleted. Also, please do not post email addresses. Email addresses can be harvested from public forums and then used by spammers. They can use the addresses to not only send you spam but they can also use your address to hide their identity to send spam to other people. Please request a person to send you a private message (PM) if you want personal feedback.
15 - Please do not use all caps in posts. This is considered "shouting" and is considered bad forum etiquette, and bold and coloured text are difficult to read.
16 - According to the Revised FTC Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines, any association between an endorser and a company must be stated in all posts which refer to a product or products. Examples of this are a person who is an affiliate, is given free product, is financially compensated for endorsement, is related to an employee/owner or is an employee/owner of the company. Frequently asked questions about the FTC revision can be found here.
17 - Any posts made which endorses a product or company where the person has an association but does not reveal it will be deleted. Banning of the person's account may also occur.
