General Rules

1. Members are allowed one account each.
If you need more than one account please contact a member of staff who may be able to assist you. If you have been banned from the forums you are not permitted to re-register.
2. Usernames may not include a domain name.
For instance if your website is dropshipforum.co.uk you are not allowed the username "dropshipforum.co.uk" but may use the username "dropshipforum". In other words .com, .net, .co.uk etc in a username are not allowed. Your account will be deleted if you register such a name. To change your username please PM a member of staff.
3. We intend to keep this board friendly so no public confrontations allowed.
If you have a problem with another member then contact them via PM. Foul language is also not permitted as is posting in UPPER CASE (as this is perceived as shouting)
4. Make sure you post in the correct forum or the forum that closely matches your topic.
Do not post the same thread twice either in the same forum or different forums, please do not use bold text or 'text speak' it makes posts awkward to read for our international members.
5. Do not spam the board with your links either publicly or via PM.
You are not allowed to post your link in your signature but you can link once in a post when introducing yourself in the Introductions Forum. Even if you're an advertiser or sponsor it is not permitted to send random PM's to members advertising your services. Only if someone has asked you directly to contact them may you PM them.
6 Offering products or services on this board is strictly for forum associates or sponsors only.
Please contact an administrator for current rates. See rules below about advertising.
7. Details of your company may be entered into your 1st Introductory post.
Although details about your company may be entered into your introductory post, posts purely made to advertise your site will be removed.
8. Affiliate links are not allowed.
9. Access to the links section
This will only be given to those who have met certain criteria. The criteria currently consists of you making 20 or more posts and at least 15 of those being deemed as quality. The group moderator decides which posts he deems as quality. Posts should be informative, detailed and not simply a few words like "yeah me too" etc. The user must also have been a member for 14 days and have received no warnings for breaking rules.
10. Re-applying to the links section.
Those who have been denied access to the links section must make sure they have met the above criteria before applying again. If you have more than 20 posts and have been a member for 14 days or more but were still denied then it means the group moderator decided that you have not made enough quality posts. Do not apply for acces again until you have made at least a further 2 quality posts. Repeat offenders will be given a warning.
