Rule Change Regarding Links To Offsite Blogs
Hey everyone a quick announcement about a rule change. In the past we have not allowed members to post links to offsite (non Hotcouponworld) blogs without approval first. This rule has changed.
Effective today you may post content from other deal/frugal blogs with link and credit to the originating blog without approval first. However, we do ask that the link and content follow these rules:
*You may not just drop a link. We consider link dropping spam and we have a zero spam tolerance policy and will ban all member that spam our website.
*You may copy and paste the content from your blog or a blog that you read and give credit to the blog by name and with a link to the blog or blog post.
*Content must be relevant to the content of Hotcouponworld and be posted in the appropriate forum or thread. So if you find a blog post with a great Albertsons deal for this week. you need to post it in the Albertsons forum in the current weekly deal thread.
*All posts still need to follow the rules of the site and cannot encourage or discuss fraudulent activity or otherwise violate the Terms of Service or Community Rules of Hotcouponworld.
*The rule regarding links in your signature is still in effect, you must add a HCW banner to your blog and ask to be added to our blog roll in order to have a approved link to your blog in your signature (please feel free to PM me or Sbp if you need assistance with that)
*This rule applies to personal blogs only and does not apply to other forums that are competitors to Hotcouponworld (you may still give credit to those sites with credit to the OP (Original Poster from the other site) and the sites initals (Example: "Thanks to Hotcouponmama at HCW) but you cannot link to these forums.
If you have any questions whatsoever about this rule please feel free to contact me via private message and I would be happy to answer any and all questions.
We want to foster sharing between Hotcouponworld and the many great deal blogs out there.
