Forum rules please read before posting

[webmaster]

Welcome to all realtors, those with real estate questions and webmasters promoting real estate websites.

We encourage the sharing of ideas and all questions about real estate web development but we ask that you observe these few rules

#1. Be respectful of other members regardless of difference of opinion. (No profanity or name calling)

#2. No self promotion of services in public forums - feel free to PM individual members if they specifically ask for a service that you offer, but do not clog up the public discussion forums with posts concerning your own services, these forums are for learning and sharing, not selling yourself.

#3. No more than 3 links per signature.

#4. Do not post off topic or "hi-jack" a thread, if your comment is not relevant to a thread, please start a new thread within the most relevant forum for the topic.

#5. REW will not tolerate any other member stealing (Borrowing) intellectual property or website content without expressed written permission of the owner of said property. You will be given the opportunity to provide such documentation of permission however failure to provide such proof is subject to up to a lifetime ban from our community.

#6. Member poaching - There is to be no diverting members of this forum to other competing real estate forums to answer questions or have discussions that can easily be facilitated here. Recruiting our members to other forums is strictly forbidden. If you are simply here to promote your own forum, then please leave as you will be banned for doing so.

#7 - Linking policy - Real Estate Webmasters (REW) will not link to any websites that violate any search engines terms of service. If you are posting about a website that is violating the SE's terms of service for discussion purposes do not make it a live link. If you are linking to your own sites that violate these terms of service, in posts or in your signature, your linking privelleges will be revoked

#8. No link exchange posting you will be warned once (And the post will be deleted) if you do it again, your account will be banned.

#9 - Do not create multiple accounts, only one account is permitted per person

#10 - Have Fun!

Also the blog rules

REW Blog Rules

For anyone who is using the REW Blogs here at Real Estate Webmasters it is important that you observe the following rules:

#1: Rule number one: No copyright infringement. This goes for text and images - if you do not own or have permission to post content in your REW blog, do not post it. This is with the exceptions of "fair use" when it comes to online authoring. The best way to avoid this (And make your blog great) is to post unique content that you come up with yourself, that truly speaks to your audience, and shows off your prowess as a writer, and the depth of your knowledge as an industry leader in your field.

#2: Rule number two: REW Blogs are not for link exchanges: This does not mean you cannot link out from your blog to posts, threads, sites and pages related to your particular post. If you link from your blog in a post, that link should support the post.

#3: PG 13 - these blogs are accessbile to the public including those under the age of 18 - so no questionable material (Swearing, nudity, illegal materials etc will not be tollerated) - these blogs are your voice to the world and I think everyone agrees we should all try to appear as professional as possible.

#4: No spamming - any violation of any search engine's terms of service will cause an automatic suspension of your REW Blog
