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.

Many stores are running Catalina & Register Reward (RR) promotions this week and I would like to remind our members to please read the small print on these Catalina coupons. If the Catalina coupons say something to the effect about "Not valid on P&G products" we ask that all members refrain from posting about rolling these Catalina coupons onto more P&G products.

Rolling means that you purchase items that result in a Catalina coupon and you take that Catalina coupon and use it on your next order of products and receive another of the same kind of Catalina coupon.

Again... we are asking that you refrain from posting about rolling the P&G Catalina coupons if the wording on the Catalina's prohibit the use. Even if your cashier or store manager gives you the OK just keep that to yourself. We want to encourage use of the promotions as outlined by the wording on the coupon.

Thank you,
Heidi

P.S. - Posts that discuss rolling the P&G Catalina coupons are subject to the warning & infraction system. We hate to do it... so please don't post about it.
