Lately there has been a bit of an increase in the amount of people joining the website purely for the purposes of spamming. As moderators it is our job to make sure the forum is kept free of advertising, first and foremost because it ruin's the experience of the forum for our members, who would rather just get on with their conversations.

Secondly because we have a network of suppliers on our website who pay to be able to advertise on the website. Even these suppliers are not allowed to post on our forum. Some of these suppliers have been granted "expert" status so they have the right to post on the forum to give impartial expert advice, but other than that are not allowed to discuss their "trade" on the forum.

The advertising rule does not just include businesses, this rule is extended to our members too and we would like to remind members to refrain from posting links on the forum. If you find that someone would like a link for, say, a tiara you have found please post it to their walls.

If you are a member but looking to get into the wedding trade, again we ask you not to mention it on the forum. And to also avoid contacting members at random through; spamming on their walls, sending private messages or chat messages unless this information is asked for in advance by a member. This includes but is not limited to the following examples:

- Giving links within the forum, be it for your own business or something you've found.
- repeatedly mentioning phrases such as "I'm starting up my own cake company"/"I sell artificial flowers on ebay". As this is seen as an attempt to "drum up business"
- Sending messages through chat/PM/on walls of multiple people (it is ok to do this if you have seen a post such as "do you know where i can get cheap custom shoes?" you can post on their wall "i make custom shoes... etc etc"

Sometimes when there is advertising going on within the forum it is easy to miss, perhaps a moderator is dealing with something else, or has missed a link etc as she has just read that thread and busy going through other threads. Because of this we would like to kindly as our members that if they see anything that bothers them to please report it to a moderator.
(Your moderators are ....HAILS, VINTAGECHIC, LALA MOD BUNNY, LITTLE KETTLE AND OFFICIALLY MRS MANN)
That way we can get round to it more quickly. Eg nabbing a spammer after the first post before they get a chance to spread it all over the forum.

If you wish to advertise why not have a look at our advertising page?
http://www.ukbride.co.uk/advertise
or contact J who might be able to work out an advertising package with you?
[email protected]

(don't look at me like that, I'm a mod and in some circumstances we're allowed to use links LOL)

Thank you

Finally just to re-iterate the advertising rules here is a copy from the rules thread

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVERTISING AND LINKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advertising of a business, product or supplier is not permitted on the UKbride forum. Only brides to be may make use of the forum with the only exception being UKbride experts. These are experts in their fields who are there to offer impartial advice to forum users. These suppliers can be identified by a badge on the forum that says “UKbride Expert”. These carefully selected experts are entitled to use real world examples drawn from their own experience to answer questions, but not to blatantly advertise their own business. For example: "We at XYZ photography generally find that most brides spend upwards to £1000 on their photography - this would be a realistic figure to put into your budget. "
UKBRIDE members advertising their own business by offering FREE services is also frowned upon, if you wish to offer something for free (that you no longer need or want) by all means do so but no advertising your business while doing so and leave information on YOUR wall for others to see NOT in the forum!
NO links of any kind are to be posted in the forum, if you want to share something you've found, then please by all means let people know in the forum but post the link to the profile wall of those who would like to look or on your own. This is because we had people questioning why we could post some links but not others. To stop the confusion we at UKBRIDE decided ALL links would be banned in the forum.

All advertising and links will be DELETED by the moderators!

Advertising on the forum or blatant advertising on members walls or through pm is also not tolerated.
This includes promoting friends/relatives businesses. Tell the person asking that you know someone then post on their wall NOT on the forum.

No names of other sites/companies/shops that do the things UKBride does will not be permitted, IE if you find another site that has the same wedding tools that we do then you may post to member's walls IF asked but do not name in the forum.
Well known sites like facebook and ebay can be used in conversation but NO links to them may be used (most people use nicknames for these like bay of e and face ache, which is fine if you wish to do this if unsure).
Also people RECRUITING to other site's is not tolerated and your account MAY be suspended or even deleted.

NO emails are allowed in the forum. This is for your safety as well as our clients and other members.

Due to an increase of "VOTE FOR ME..." topics, it has been decided at UKBride that these topics should be banned from the forums. This is because UKBride runs monthly and annual competitions and these threads are advertising companies that are UKBride's competitors. In aid of fairness ALL non-UKBride competition/fundraising threads will be deleted, even if they are not wedding related competitions.

Can i take this opportunity to also remind members that alongside advertising we do not allow any post where a member is asking people to vote for them in a competition or give money what ever the cause ....

if you want to post something but are not sure please contact one of the moderators first and we will get a definitive answer for you ( if we are not sure ourselves)

I'm sure the mods do a great job but my post was shut down, accusing me of advertising when I was not, I was asking how much people would spend on a custom cake topper! It was an innocent question. Thanks :(
- CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
Hi Gemma
Although I wasn't the Mod that removed the post, I have read it and I think that the problem was that you said that you were, 'toying with the idea of creating them for other couples', and by asking other members how much they would pay for them indicates that you are researching with the intention of selling these (whether that be on here or elsewhere). This, under the UK Bride rules, constitutes advertising and that is why the thread was closed.
I hope that this explains it a bit, but if you want to explore this further then please do get in touch with one of us or the boss man, J ([email protected]).
Thanks.

Vegas baby!

Girl- groom .. the fact that you mentioned that you were going to do this is deemed advertising according to the rules set out by management ..please feel free to read the rules thread hopefully that will clear things up for you if not you can always contact any of the moderators directly to chat about things .
