Since we have had so much trouble with various types of spam lately, we have set a new rule that new members cannot post in the Announcements and Opportunities forum or any of it's sub-forums at all.
Once new members have posted in other areas a while and become a "Trusted member" showing that they want to be a part of the community, they will gain access to post in this forum.
So if any new member is found posting inappropriate topics elsewhere on the board they will be seen as a spammer trying to get around this rule. The posts in question will be removed and the user will be subject to removal from the community.
New rule: Posts soliciting votes by anyone other than established members will be seen as spam. Posts will be removed and the member will be banned. No excuses.
We are here to share and make friends; we are not here to help you win a contest. If you want votes for something you are involved in, try being a part of the community and make some friends here first.
ETA - Furthermore; if you are an established member and do post such a thing, it belongs here in the Announcements and Opportunities (http://forums.onewed.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9) forum.
Edit2: This rule also applies to posts asking for donations of any kind and for any reason; if you can't be a part of the community like everyone else then you are a spammer.
It is a good idea for new users to familiarize themselves with the rules of the community and/or specific forums before they start posting.
It is also customary for new members to introduce themselves before posting; especially when they want to promote something/share a website, post about a sell or trade or whatever; otherwise you might be mistaken for a spammer.
