• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.
  • Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

I have set up all the relevant things like membership, sponsored ads and ads themselves for this forum.

While I have been trying to find an FAQ or post about it, I really want to know what are the rules around responding to someones thread with a link to our website/product when it relates to the subject of the thread? Say for instance someone is mentioning they would like some kind of product X and we had X, could we reply to their thread to point them to our website to the product page of X?

We are members on a forum here in Australia and as part of being a sponsor, it allows you to reply to other members with links to your site (as long as it relates to the original thread or the way the thread has evolved). Is this similar here?
 
I don't think anyone would mind you responding to a "wanted" ad with relevant info about what you are offering. As long as it isn't overdone and is done tastefully. Generally we try to keep direct advertisements out of the general discussion forums, but we do understand that sometimes the topic of a discussion turns to buying and selling in a general sense, where specific answers may be required to suitably answer a question.

In any event, welcome aboard.
