I've updated the Board Rules of conduct sticky above and just wanted to point it out. I've copied it below, in bold.

I've done this to make new users aware of the policy. I don't think it was quite clear before.

Also, please refrain from gorilla advertising, soft sells of your own products, or the use of two Member names, to help promote your own company, products or business. I've received too many complaints lately about subversive advertising techniques and need to clarify our rules. If you are new Member Sponsor, please PM me and we will craft an introductory Thread "together" we can post on the forum of your choice, Main Forum, or a State Forum.



You must be a Crappie.com “Member Sponsor” in order to mention or link to a business, or your companies products in your signature. To become a sponsor you must sign up for the $49.95 Sponsorship Program. This entitles you to a Business Card sized signature and a link to a website. Inappropriate businesses and websites (porn….) will not be included.

Please realize, this only allows you to advertise in your signature, and on the Sponsor Members Classified Ads forum.

For everyone’s sakes, I still do not want big long Signatures though. So please limit your images and links to no more than the size of a Business card, plus one line of text/link information.

I think your all are great, your contributions over the years have been more than gracious, I’m not trying to take advantage of anyone, I’m just trying to run the best darn family orientated fishing website on the Internet. Now anyone who has a hard time, and is a reasonable contributor that can not afford the sponsorship, please PM me and I’ll work something out. I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone.

Please PM me any questions. Please PM me infractions as well. And no worries, if I don't address those that do not abide by the rules immediately, I will eventually. I'd rather do things right, than do things fast.

Thanks and God Bless.
