Selling clips on the forum

[Joal 555]

Dear All

Following a message received from a member (and we give our thanks to that member) the staff have reviewed and tightened up the rules on the sale and resale of clips. From this moment forwards, the sale of clips and any other trading material must be restricted to original material only, whilst the sale or resale of clips made without the permission of the owner of the material is strictly forbidden. The full amended rule reads as follows:

• Advertisements for original commercial products must be made in the Trading Post board, and only in the Trading Post board. Sellers are allowed to post elsewhere on the forum provided that their messages are relevant to the thread they are posting in. They are not allowed to slip in plugs for their own commercial products and services. Sellers may not provide links to their clip stores in their signatures or profiles and the actual content of posts should in no way advertise products or services unless the post is made within the Trading Post section. For clarification, the sale or resale of clips made without the permission of the owner of the material is strictly forbidden. Full details of guidelines for the Trading Post can be found on that board.

There will of course be no action taken against any members who have previously tried to sell material that they did not own, but such threads that we are currently aware of, have now been deleted and any future threads or posts that break the above rule would result in action being taken.

Thank you for your attention.

The Staff
