Title: News/Adverts
Post by: brettmb on August 05, 2009, 12:08:45 PM
The News/Adverts forum is intended as a way to advertise your products, services, upcoming conventions, and general RPG/hobby news. It is a service provided to members of this forum, but the rules below must be followed to prevent posts from being deleted and people being banned. Keep in mind the the first post of these threads appears on the front page.

1. Be professional. Don't just provide a link. Describe the nature of the link and how it can benefit those who read the post.

2. Do not plead for people to vote for you in some election. This is shameless and a waste of space.

3. If you are going to post news/adverts, become a regular member, contributing to discussions. This is not mandatory, but requested.

4. Consider banner advertising (http://www.therpgsite.com/index.php?pageid=advertising) for extended coverage.

I note that the rules listed above bar use of BBC, but do not include barring HTML.  Which strikes me as odd.

Is HTML allowed / does it work?

Why are my adverts for DramaScape products not being posted any more?

They got caught in the anti-spam system. I just approved them. Not sure why. Hopefully, now that the system knows they're approved, you shouldn't have any problems. Post back here if it happens again.

Hello brettmb,

I've tried posting a few times to the site. However, it seems to indicate that an admin must approve my posts. I've searched the Help Desk, trying to find any sort of prerequisites that must be fulfilled before I can post. Can you lend any insight?

Best,
Daniel

DramaScape, your posts got moderated because of the affiliate code in the URL you posted. I added drivethrustuff to the whitelist, so hopefully, it won't get caught again.

ZWEIHÄNDER, your posts are likely moderated because you are a new user, though I am not quite sure.

Looks like they are getting caught up again, the last 3 or 4 havent shown up, does this mean that I need to not add the affiliate code when I post here.

I worked out a way around it, post without the affiliate link then add as an edit.
