Online Hot Deals Forum Rules - Please Read Before Posting

***Brad*** · **12-4-2006, 7:20 PM**

1. Absolutely no affiliate or referral links. Members found posting these links will be subject to being banned.

2. Absolutely no self-promotion. Members found to be promoting their own site or business will be banned.

3. Absolutely no linking to other deal sites. Members found to be doing so will be subject to being banned.

4. No discussion of any cash-back or loyalty sites such as ebates, mypoints, upromise, bing, credit card rewards etc. (they basically steal commission from us)

5. Include essential information in your title - this can include the store, price/discount, rebate info and expiration date.

6. If possible, please include an image with your deal to help others quickly understand what the deal is for.

7. Members who continue to violate these rules after being warned may have their deal posting privileges suspended.

8. Deal requests belong in the Deal Finder forum. Discussion of deals belongs in Deal Discussion. This forum is for posting new deals only.

9. Admins and mods reserve the right to edit or delete any thread for any reason, including but not limited to improper titles, missing information, disreputable retailers, etc.

10. If you have a question about a deal you'd like to post, contact one of the admins or mods either via PM or using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every forum page.

11. If you register and your first post is for a site nobody has heard of, it will be deleted and you will be banned.

12. Using "hidden" images will result in immediate banning and you will be reported to the appropriate company you are spamming for.

SPAMMERS: We take spamming very seriously. If you spam, your post(s) will be deleted, you will be banned, your IP address will be banned, the site you spam for will be forever censored and you will be added to a blacklist used by many other forums. In most cases these things will happen within minutes of your spamming. You will do more harm than good by spamming our forum, and you will regret it. Trust me.
