[talkgold]

Ok here are the rules for this folder. I condensed all the old rule threads into this one. All members must follow these rules. If you do not follow them, you will be warned / banned.

1) MAKE SURE A THREAD DOES NOT ALREADY EXIST BEFORE POSTING
Please do a search in the forum before adding a new thread for a program. You can do this by going to: http://talkgold.com/forum/search.php?
Search for both the domain name and program name to make sure it already is not here.

2) TITLING A NEW THREAD
You must make the title of the post have the Programs name in it. Otherwise it will be deleted. You must format the title of a new thread in the following way:

"Program Name" - "Program url" For example, if you are making a post of a program called "Gold HYIP" and the URL is http://www.goldhyip.com then the title of the thread should be the following (without the quotes): "GoldHYIP - GoldHYIP.com" OR "Gold HYIP - GoldHYIP.com"

NO ADDITIONAL WORDS OR DETAILS FOR THE PROGRAM MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE TITLE!

3) POSTING THE URL IN A NEW THREAD
The URL of the program may be posted at the bottom of the new thread you create. Referral links are now 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.

4) SIGNATURE RULES:
A) Your signature may not be any longer then 5 lines in length (including spaces and line breaks).
B) You may also not use any large sized fonts for your signature
C) You may not have any more then 6 links in your signature
D) All signatures must be aligned to the left
E) You May use up to 2 smileys in your signature. No more then 2 is allowed!

5) OTHER RULES:
A) Like always, no personal attacks, or death threats or cursing is allowed.
B) No spam or advertising whatsoever will be tolerated.
C) Do NOT make posts asking other members to join under your referral link.
Thanks in advance for obeying these rules to help make talkgold the best forum online. All moderators and admins will use their own discression with warning and/or banning members.

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) - No email addresses, real addresses or phone numbers allowed in signatures.

h) - 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 OR text reference to ANY exchanges, whether personal, or business, whatsoever.

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

j) - Signatures must not contain any personal attacks on other members, nor are attacks on the Talkgold forum, nor anything deemed by the Moderators to be critical of TG.

k) - You need a minimum of 25 posts before a signature displays.

#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. A hyperlink saying `Sign up here` or similar is acceptable, but not anything promoting your link, such as `50% ref fee back` or similar. 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.

#8a) 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

#8b) Usernames must NOT be domain names, this includes names ending com, net, biz and so on without the . So, xyzprogram.com and xyzprogramcom for example are not permitted. But, xyzprogram would be allowed. Also, we do not allow email addresses as usernames

#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. 30 days membership is required before members are allowed to post in the WarZone.

#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 any types of redirects, including `Tiny URL` or any other `Short URL Generator`, 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.

#17) In certain program folders the thread title format must be done in according to folder rules. Before posting please check if folder rules apply.

#18) ONLY members with a PAID STICKY thread are allowed to promote any exchange service in the eCurrencies folder.

WARNING POINTS remain `live` for certain periods of time. 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.
