I am going to explain the rules of the forum, as i have a fair amount of free time on my hands.
Rules:
1. No cross posting.
This means that you shouldn't go to multiple threads and post the same message. This is basically spamming. This will probably not help you sell your product, as people will think that you have to spam to get buyers.
2. No double posting.
Double posting is when you post once... and then post the same exact message again. It is understandable if the page lags when your posting, and it posts again. But when you post something, and then 5 minutes later you post the same thing again, it is spam.
3. Do not flame or harass other members.
Flaming is basically insulting other members. It is normally uncalled for, and makes you look like a 10 year old. Most people will negative rep you, and begin to dislike you for this. Harassing is pretty much the same thing, but you could be harassing, but not flaming.
4. Do not send unsolicited private messages.
This means that you shouldn't send messages saying "Hey! I saw you here! Would you like to buy this product?" and things like that. If someone tells you to go away, be respectful and stop PM'ing them. It gets annoying.
5. Post topics in their correct forum category. Read each category before you begin making threads.
This means don't post in the wrong area. This is like going to the computers section to buy an ebook.
6. No warez posting.
Warez are basically cracks. It means that you go and get a product, do something to it, and start giving it away for free. This is pirating and this is against the law. Besides, MarketForums is not a warez site. It is a monetizing site.
7. No illegal posts involving fraud, hacking tutorials or other harmful illegal activity.
Why would you go here to post about hacking? This is MarketForums, not HackForums. I am fine with Ethical Hacking(When you go and break into your own computer. Blackhat Hacking is when you go and compromise other systems that you do not own.
8. Signature images can be no larger than 650x200 pixels and 500k size. Animated gifs should not be annoying.
This is pretty self-explanatory. Don't get a huge image as your signature. It takes up too much space.
9. Reputations should not be abused. Don't use them to flame members. This includes asking for reputation, users who are found asking for reputation will have all of their positive reps removed.
This means don't go and negative rep someone while flaming them(Covered in rule 3). This also means to not say
10. Privacy is to be respected. No posting of PMs or personal data of other members.
This means do not post a picture of a PM, or telling someone elses IP(Internet Protocol) address, or posting where they live.
11. No advertising of similar sites in PM, posts, or profiles.
This is self-explanatory. Just don't go and advertise other monetizing sites here. It takes away from our members.
12. No leeching without credit.
This means do not copy someone elses post, product, or anything else and just deleting the credits and saying it was yours. This is plagerism and will get you disliked.
13. No adult image posting.
This means that you cannot post any pornographic material. This is not a porn site, this is a monetizing site.
14. English only and proper grammar required. Sorry but we will not allow posts in any language other than English and we expect good grammar.
This rule says that you should speak english, and have good grammar. Saying things like
15. Only one account per person. Multiple accounts will result in closing of all accounts. Ban circumvention will result in permanent ban of your accounts.
This means that you cannot have 2+ accounts, or else you will lose them all.
16.No selling of Pornographic material in threads or posts.
This means to not sell anything that relates to rule 13.
16. Do not sell anything which is someone else's and you do not have Resale Rights.
This one means to not buy something from someone, and then selling it for a greater, lesser, or the same price, unless they said you are allowed to.
17. You do not beg Staff or Administrators for the right to be in the Staff team. For a start it's offensive when you sign up with 0 posts asking for Admin. You will be warned without notice.
This is just stupid. Of course you are not going to get admin for saying:
Anyways, Those are all the rules to the forum, explained in my words. PM me if you have any questions.

That was just an example. It makes your posts difficult to read, and makes you look like a moron.

This makes you look suspicious and you will be turned down. No one is going to give a new person admin, unless they are EXTREMELY deserving.
