Advertising Guidelines: A Reminder
Site News & Guidelines
Yes, I'm speaking specifically of advertising for stores & products that belong under the Marketplace Category. The Discussion Forum is setup on the main page so that it shows the latest discussions from all of the categories and there is a limited amount of real estate (10 spots). I don't think it's fair for any onemerchant to try to monopolize those spots, hence the guidelines.
Each merchant should really only be creating a new post there once a week. Also, as stated in the Guidelines the Photos section should not be used and neither should the Blogs .
Sometime it's a fine line between what I consider to be "advertising" and someone showing off their new dress, for example. In that case, as moderator I have to make a judgement call on the item.
My goal with Royal Courts has always been to present a balanced view of our community as a whole andItruly appreciate everyone's continued support in this endeavour:)
