The forum rules have been updated. Changes to the rules have been highlighted in red below. Could all members please take a moment to familiarise themselves with the new additions, and comply where applicable.
Thank you.
10. Signatures: You can set up a signature to appear at the end of every post you make via the User CP tab. Signatures may not contain more than 3 lines of standard-sized text, plus a brief description of the towns/counties/areas you cover as a DJ. Signatures may contain up to 2 links. You may alternatively add a 60 pixel high banner but this will count as 2 of your 3 permitted lines of standard-sized text. You may not add a link in your signature to a site that is similar to this. Only Mobile Discos businesses may be advertised in signatures. (see rule 14* for exceptions).
14. Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed (Except in the circumstances listed below): This includes using the forum email and PM system to spam other members as well as posts on the forums. Spamming & Trolling are not permitted under any circumstances whatsoever, and advertising is only allowed in specific limited circumstances. *Members who have purchased a Banner Advertisement may be allowed to post a related link in their signature, but only by strict approval of the Site Admin. If you wish to advertise mobile disco related items for sale to forum members and others, please advertise in the 'For Sale/Wanted' forum section. No trade adverts are permitted.
