In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forums here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Cell-Phone-Plans.net Staff Members.
General Rules: - While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
- Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such.
- Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
- Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
- Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts.
- We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate the Cell-Phone-Plans.net community standards. The Cell-Phone-Plans.net team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
- Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
- Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
- While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitor's products, we will not tolerate blatant adverts. That includes people who post a message promoting a web site and claim to not have a stake or ownership in the site. It’s often very obvious that they do indeed own the site, and they will have their posts and forum account deleted when they are caught. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other cellular and telecommunication boards.
- We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
- If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
- Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
- You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
- You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
- We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our cell phone forums are a privilege and not a right.
Any threads/posts of these types will be deleted.
Advertising Services
We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and solicitations in post signatures is also prohibited.
Links in Post Signatures
Links in signatures must follow these guidelines: - Linking to a commercial product/service is fine, provided it is not a product or service that competes with a product or service offered by Cell-Phone-Plans.net and it is not an affiliate program link.
- Promotional text for a commercial product or service is ok, provided there are no price(s) of product(s) or service(s) listed.
- A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate the Cell-Phone-Plans.net community standards. The Cell-Phone-Plans.net team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling and/or sex.)
- Duplicate links to the same URL in a post signature are not allowed.
Avatars
Animated avatars are not allowed. Sorry.
Avatars that may be confused with official staff avatars are not allowed. The same applies to usernames that may be confused with official staff members.
Affiliate Programs
You are not allowed to post your affiliate links anywhere on the Cell-Phone-Plans.net forums, in your signature or send the link through private messages to other forum users. Anyone that does this may have their forum account deleted and be banned immediately without notice.
Signature Size Limits
All post signatures should not exceed the following size limits, and you can't have both text and images: - For text signatures: 4 lines normal size, 8 lines small size and up to 90 chars per line. Font sizes above 2 are not allowed. (Blank lines count as lines.)
- Do not use images with large text to bypass the previous item
- For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size
- Animated images in post signatures are not allowed
These rules are designed with the purpose to keep the Cell-Phone-Plans.net community safe and fun for everyone so they will be enforced all the way.
Thanks!
