Advertising by Non Sponsor Rules

At the Moderators discretion, advertising on the forum by Non Sponsoring Bodies is likely to be removed. This includes for products, services, events, promotional material or member poaching, and covers any medium served by the Forum (threads, posts, links, private messages, images, user signatures, user names etc.)

Exceptions

Unrewarded personal recommendations and reviews, links to relevant news or discussions on external bodies, and threads regarding member’s involvements in external events will normally be allowed.

Reasons

Sponsors play an important role in the success of the Australian LS1 and Holden Forums. Obviously they provide the financial support that allows the forums to operate. Just as importantly they share their knowledge when they answer questions, and share their experiences when they report their successes and failures. They also provide new product announcements and reviews, and often offer fantastic specials to forum members.

In return for their support, Sponsors are allowed to advertise to the forum's large member base. We feel this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Aside ensuring posts are kept constructive and accurate, Forum Moderators do not protect Sponsors from negative comment. We do however feel that it is important to protect the benefits Sponsorship provides to these businesses.

We feel this is common courtesy.

If in any doubt, please e-mail The Moderators

If interested in forum sponsorship, please e-mail sponsorship@ls1.com.au
