Business & Advertising Rules:

Please:

Anyone in a Business, or persons with multiple items of the same type wishing to advertise on the MPOC Forum, needs to purchase a Trade Subscription. This will automatically grant permission to advertise in the MPOC Forums Trade & Business Forum.

This is a dedicated forum within the Classifieds Section for MPOC Forum Traders to advertise their products and services to the MPOC Forum users but it is also fully searchable by the wider public.

All members can view and reply to threads created by MPOC Forum Traders but they cannot create new threads.

This system has been created to allow members in the trade & business community to advertise their goods and services.

MPOC Forum Traders are now also permitted to advertise parts in the Parts For Sale forum. This is subject to a fair use policy with the intention of preventing the section becoming overloaded with parts from the same trader. If it appears as though too many parts are advertised for sale from one trader at any one time, posts may be deleted. Please exercise common sense in this area.

Any infringement of the advertising rules will lead to an infraction being given or the suspension of your account.


Enforcement of Rules

Administrators and Moderators monitor your compliance with these rules and dispense disciplinary action at their discretion!.

If you are found breaking any of the rules you may have your posts deleted, edited or moved (as appropriate). In addition, Your posting rights may be suspended or your account deleted: if the violation is serious enough or repeated after being warned.

If you find a post that breaks any of these rules, please either alert the administration & moderating staff by clicking on the Alert Moderator button contained within the post so the appropriate action can be taken.

And most importantly: Have Fun & Be Nice to one another
