First off, please remember you are here as our guest and we reserve the right to remove members for any reason.

1. Do not spam. There is a free classifieds section where you are encouraged to post appropriate advertising related to writers only. Do not use the rest of the site to post commercial advertising.

2. Do not harass or abuse other members. This includes impersonating other members, posting misleading or false information about other members, or otherwise being a jerk.

3. If a discussion in the forum turns into a flaming argument, take it to private message.

4. Please follow our content guidelines when posting content.

5. Do not abuse the revenue sharing system. You may not spam to get referrals for new members. You may not artificially inflate adclicks on your pages. Doing so will result in immediate account termination.

6. Do not "ratings bomb" articles by people just because you disagree with their politics or don't like them.

7. DO NOT VIOLATE COPYRIGHT. This means you cannot steal other people's work. Also, you are not allowed to reprint newspaper articles or other items you find elsewhere on the web here. If you find a newspaper item of interest, LINK OUT TO THE ARTICLE and write your own commentary on it here.

People who violate copyright will first have the offending articles deleted and receive a warning. If it continues, the account will be suspended.

All in all, use common sense and courtesy.
