Zack you selling a domain?.

I am quite confused as to why in THIS TOPIC (Showcase rules) you state:

Quote:1. - No Pornographic Websites [They will be cleaned & locked as soon as possible, You will also be IP-Banned].
2. - No bumping topics [Please only bump your threads every 12 hours, Not every 30 minutes, You will be Warned].
3. - No Affiliate Links [No Affiliate Links it will be considered as cheating, Your thread will be Cleaned & Locked].
4. - No Illegal or Nulled Software Websites [You will be banned for 7 days, Your thread will be Cleaned & Locked].
5. - No Proxies [Anyone seen posting a Proxy website will be warned, Your thread will be Cleaned & Locked].

So a pornographic (but legal) site gets you IP banned, but a site offering nulled (illegal) scripts and software(s) is only a 7 day ban?

Also, whats wrong with affiliate links? Many of them are to sites that want you to get people to visit your account so the site can make money on ad revenue....

This. There's nothing wrong with affiliate links, especially in cases where it provides the user a discount (Such as HostGator's $0.01 coupon codes)

The more I read the rules the more makes me think this kid is about 12...

um... what? This makes little sense, is in awful english, sounds like a 12 year old and the bold+underlined stuff is really annoying.

What? You'll deduct posts? oh. Sh***!. Who cares? Hacking is illegal. On my forums that constitutes a ban.

Bad grammar, bad spelling, a superlative can be used in that context.

Sort these out and your forum will be far better.

For some reason, I can't even remember posting what you have said TommyK that thread will be deleted shortly.

I have changed the Advertising Rules.

Thanks guys.

I think that because you're denied support here, you aren't allowed to showcase forums.
