Truthfully I think those who would be offended may not even get it. :rotfl: I think we can be silly like that and just remember not to take it too far. I wouldn't worry to much Angela

This includes discussing cancellations, private phones, prepaid credit cards, fraudulent information, non SR merchants, SR competitors, and survey products. These are the major areas of concern since they can cause us trouble with the advertisers. I think your thread is the most hilarious ever LOL

It had nothing to do with that post. It was something that has been in ongoing discussions for a few months if that makes you feel better. It started with the board spammers and kinda evolved.

Just a quick thanks to Tricia and the mods for taking care of the board! Time to start testing words for Tricia. I've got a BIG list! Let me know when you'd like me to start!

Michael, you are just an infraction waiting to happen. LOL!!!

Yeah...I was supposed to get this whole thing done months ago and just got bogged down. But we got spammed again a couple of mornings ago and decided enough was enough. Usually most of you do not even see those because one of the MODS deletes them pretty fast. But it is one thing to delete the post and something different to be able to get in there and ban them from the board. With the infraction system, the MODS can do that now, too.

Sister, ain't that the truth!

Can I make a suggestion? Could SR update the T&C to include these notes? They haven't been updated since 2006 and there have been a lot of tweaks to what is allowed. I apologize for having a note pulled because I made a reference to a referral. I had read the T&C and they only addressed "spamming," which I didn't do so I was really confused as to why my post was pulled and then I found this thread. It can be confusing if rules are in two places. Or, at least, amend the T&C to direct people to this thread so it's easy to know what all the rules are. Again, I apologize if I posted something inappropriate but when I posted, I didn't think it was not in line with the terms. My bad.

Thanks!

Heres the very first line of the General Rules:

General Rules:
1) Do not spam the board. This includes posting advertisements, links to other sites where you are promoting other rewards programs, and posting the same message in multiple places.

Just because they aren't blantant about rewards, they could possibly be promoting some of the same places that we do, they have to make their money some how in order for you to play games for free, they just hide it.

One of the good things about the User Infraction system that we have set up is that we can do just "Warnings" if we think that people may not know the rules or the rules are not specific enough. It's just a way for us to be able to give specific information about the rules without a member really getting into any "trouble" or having their membership in danger.

Thanks, Cindy. I understand the General Rules but unfortunately didn't read them until after I reviewed the T&Cs and posted a thread. I just think it might be helpful to avoid confusion in the future if the link to the Forum Rules be added to the T&C just like it was added to the "User Infraction" thread in January by Cate.

Again, my apologies.
