New rule

The only thing we don't want to see advertised in people's sigs like links to other Final Fantasy Forums. As Saix said, it's like a slap in the face. We don't mind you advertising to anything else, but we just don't want to see advertisements to other FF forums. That's really all it boils down to. It's rude to advertise your Final Fantasy forum and flaunting it all over your sig when you're in an FF forum and so the rule was passed. I also agree about making the Advertising board easier to find so it's not hidden and feel free to use that board to advertise your FF forum. Anything else, feel free to advertise it in your sig, as long as it's not Final Fantasy.
 
Right, my apologies to any member Ive asked to remove their sig if it isnt Final Fantasy related. I was under the impression it was any forum.
 
I was under the impression of that too, but this is fine as well. =)
 
It is any forum. It's just things that don't relate to message boards which you can advertise.

In no part of the announcement does it single out only FF forums.
 
No forum advertisement in your signatures. Period. But you can advertise your myspace, facebook, deviantart, etc. in your signatures. No problem. =)
 
good idea saix and people might find a site they prefer and never come back
that wato answer some questions
 
No advertising in signatures.
"keep it in the family" as the saying goes. But that saying leads to incest XD

Wonder how much people will love this.:wacky:
 
Just to save confusion, it might help to

1) Emphasise in the announcement that only forums can't be advertised.

2) Post it in a font that doesn't require you to squint in order to read it.
 
Haha, that's a good one Walter. They might have to alter that rule a bit further.
 
Okay:

It is any forum. It's just things that don't relate to message boards which you can advertise.

In no part of the announcement does it single out only FF forums.

So basically sites like MySpace, DeviantArt, etc are allowed. Youre not advertising anything, just giving others a chance to view your work. Any forum is not allowed as that is advertising the forum to others.

And @ Words of Ivory, the font is readable, whats your problem?
 
Oops. my bad then. I thought it was just Final Fantasy forums only, but whatever. I don't personally see a problem advertising to other forums like anime forums as they don't contain the same materials of discussion as an FF forum would, but whatever.
 
Can you change the text of a link to a forum so it isn't actually "advertising", like this: GIANT TOASTERS IN SPACE

I suppose we could do something like

DON'T GO TO www.finalfantasyforums.net

since it's technically not advertising either.

Does invisible text links count as advertising? I propose adding an amendment to clarify this.
 
I knew there was competition amongst forums, but this is nuts. I guess different people take things differently. Instead of viewing advertising other forums as a slap in the face, if the forum itself was confident enough, advertising wouldn't have to even be an issue because if people loved it here, obviously they'll stay and its not like some advertisements are gonna make someone do a 180.

But I can see why the rule was made, since some FF forums seem whack really. Lulz, forum wars.
 
So, if we hand make a forum from raw html and upload it and want to share, we can't.

This is gonna be debated for a lllooooooooooooonnnnggg time.
 
This rule is made of epic fail.
Noone ever visits the Advertisements forum.

You better take that out of your siganture before Saix does something about.

And yeah this Rule is a good one, what if there was some idiot going around saying join my forum and l'll make you an admin,

FFF Colud get reaked =( But this is unlikey.
 
If this place was a little more active they'd have no need for the rule. FFF is slowly dying out.
