General
Newly registered members have restrictions on where they can post new threads. More here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...721-newly-registered-members-please-read.html
The following rules apply to ALL members:
Writing reviews
Suppliers etc
Given this fact, suppliers should be aware that going against these rules is likely to offend their very own potential customers. It should also be noted that the rules change here often as new issues are brought up, so check this post often!
Tags and Tagging
Members are encouraged to use tags to help get new visitors to relevant posts. The only rules are 1. Suppliers must not use tags, and 2. Users must not tag posts with their own usernames.

The following rules apply to ALL members:
- Firstly a general rule of thumb: If you think that a post may cause eyebrows to be raised by the forum moderators, don't post it!
- Please try to put your topics in the appropriate forums - it's nice to have the place organized!
- Please don't use offensive language. Some people really hate it, and this forum is for everyone.
- Private Messages and Emails between members must never be quoted in forum posts, unless express agreement is reached between all parties to do so.
- If you are an e-cigarette seller/affiliate/marketer, you must pm SmokeyJoe and read the 'supplier' section below.
- Do not make any posts promoting any products other than e-cigarettes in any of the forums. Those doing so will be banned without warning and the posts deleted swiftly.
- Please do not discuss the use of any substances other than nicotine and those related to e-smoking. Any posts made on using the e-cigarette as a means of ingesting other materials will constitute a major violation of the forum rules, and the user will be banned.
- Racist or homophobic posts will be deleted as they are found and the member posting will be banned.
Writing reviews
- Registered users will be added to the "full members" group after they have made 10 posts and been active on the forum for a set period of time. Only members of this group may post new threads in the review forum. This is to prevent e-cigarette suppliers coming on and mud-slinging against their competitors or writing excessively favorable reviews of their own products.
- Please feel free to write reviews of e-cigarette products, but try to write a decent and informative piece. We've already had posts saying things like "this is the best e-cigarette - loads of smoke - better than cigarettes", which is just pointless. Try to put some detail in: tell people about the quality, give descriptions of the materials, put some photos up.
- Rubbish reviews will just get moved to the general discussion forum or, if they are spammy, deleted.
Suppliers etc
- We want to keep the forums clear of spam and self-promotion so.......
- If you are an e-cigarette supplier/affiliate/manufacturer etc, you must get in touch with the forum mods/administrators to identify yourself before you start posting in the forums. Failure to do this may result in an immediate ban via IP address and Username.
- If you are promoting any other product than e-cigarettes you must also get in touch with the team to make sure your product is appropriate for the forum.
- You may request your website be added to the suppliers list that is maintained in the suppliers forum by getting in touch with any of the moderators or by posting a request in the thread.
- You may not post in the review section, or make any posts which reference your own products, except in the suppliers forum.
- However, you may put one link (no images) to your product/website in your signature line and you are free to contribute to any discussion in any forum providing you follow the above rules.
- You must not use the tag system under any circumstances. If you do so you risk losing your posting privileges for a set period of time.
- You must not use the chat room to promote your business. If you do so you risk losing your posting privileges for a set period of time.
Given this fact, suppliers should be aware that going against these rules is likely to offend their very own potential customers. It should also be noted that the rules change here often as new issues are brought up, so check this post often!
