Talkgold Rules. All offenders will be warned and in severe cases or reoccurring cases banned from this forum:

#1) Signature Rules:

a) - Signatures may be no longer than 5 lines in length, INCLUDING SPACES and BLANK LINES, with a maximum of 6 links

b) - Signatures may only be typed in the normal sized font (This is size 2. NO large fonts) or if you prefer the smaller No.1 size font.

c) - No banners ads or image ads are allowed to be included in your signatures, with the exception of smileys. If the use of smilies takes up more space than the permitted space for 5 lines then your signatures will be amended/deleted. It`s up to members to use discretion if using any smilies, (maximum of 2 allowed), so that they don`t cause height problems.

d) - Bold, italic and coloring fonts are allowed in the signature

e) - Signatures must be aligned to the left, not in the center

f) - There is NO referring to your signatures in your posts. Do NOT ask other members to `see my signature`

g) - Exchangers with`PAID STICKYS`may place a link in their signatures to their own sites, without any ref link. No other members are allowed to have any links to ANY exchanges, whether personal, or business, whatsoever.

h) - Nothing connected with scripts are to be shown in signatures

i) - Signature must not contain any personal attacks on other members


#2) No advertising in our forum folders is allowed with exception of our "Advertising Folder"

#3) No Personal Attacks to another individual will be tolerated anywhere but the WarZone Folder. If things get too out of hand in the war zone, moderators reserve the right to remove or edit posts.

#4) No Spamming ads via PMs will be tolerated.

#5) No offensive language will be allowed.

#6) Referral links are ONLY allowed within the FIRST posts in the following four folders - Current HYIPs; Current AutoSurf / Paid to Surf Programs; Current "Get Paid To" Programs; MLM / Matrix / Doublers & Network Marketing Forum. To repeat, ONLY the thread starter may post with a ref link, no one else. Also, DO NOT post a thread if one already exists for a program. Make a search first before posting.

Referral links may still of course be used in the Advertising forum, and in all signatures.

#7) Talkgold.com does NOT permit ANY Script sales on this forum. Any member attempting to sell scripts may be warned, and the thread will be removed. We believe this will serve to further protect our members against scammers. Also, this will help Talkgold and it's members abide by the copyright laws protecting the script developers. Also, `scripts` are NOT allowed in any signatures.

#8) Members are not to use more than ONE username. Any member found to be using more than one username will be subject to being banned from the forum.

Multiple accounts from the same IP address or a close IP range MAY be considered multiple IDs unless there is a clear indication in the profile that they belong to the members of the same family or a company

#9) 25 posts are required before members are permitted to use the PM facility. 50 posts and 50 days membership are required before members are allowed to start threads in our Debit Card folder. Use of a proxy is not allowed in the Debit Card folder. We take a dim view of any member who is suspected of `post building.` By that we mean that posts such as `only 10 to go,` or `I agree,` or `good idea` don`t contribute anything to the board.

#10) Members must not ask for, or offer, exchanges in any of our folders, but may do so (without spamming), via PM.

#11) NO TROLLING - mischievously manufacturing inflammatory opinions in an attempt to stir up disharmony and discord. No posting up a stream of off-topic drivel or being clumsily provocative.

#12) We do NOT permit the use of redirect URLs, such as tinyurl, or any other, in either posts, or in signatures. Links must be directed to the real site.

#13) Banners and images which form a part of advertising (with or without ref links), are not allowed in posts ANYWHERE in the forum

#14) The sale/buying, giving/receiving of TG accounts is PROHIBITED. Anyone attempting to dispose of, or acquire an existing username will face immediate ban.

#15) DO NOT post asking people to contact you, whether by PM or e-mail, join under you, sponsor you, make you an offer, or anything similar in the program threads. This also means you should not post your e-mail address.

#16) This is an ENGLISH-SPEAKING forum. All posts and signatures MUST be in English only.

WARNING POINTS remain `live` for certain periods of time. Here, for example, are some warnings, and how long they last for:-

Not Acceptable Signature - 0ne point, live for 18 days.

Trolling - One point, live for 60 days.

Using referral links where not allowed - Two points, live for 125 days.

If 5 `live` warning points accrue then an automatic ban for 30 days will come into force.

Moderators also have an option to immediately ban members for periods of 2 days, up to 30 days if circumstances dictate.


If we think that any member is posting so as to build up his post count they will be subject to either a warning, or in more serious cases, an immediate ban.

Please check rules often for updates. Some folders have their own additional rules, so please check first prior to posting.
