I'm adding a few more items to the list - again, just to make things explicit.

Advertising - You may not use the PM system or user email contacts to spam members
Advertising - You may not re-register under a new name to get around certain posting restrictions or disciplinary actions
New section on Private Messaging - users are expected to check and read private messages. TWF Staff may use private messaging to communicate important policy information (see "Enforcement").

1. Solar Powered Flashlight
2. Chicken Flavored Ice Cream
3. Beef Flavored Ice Cream
4. Microwaveable Water
Any other stupid ideas (so stupid it might just work)

Damn, I had the same idea! I thought: "Bet no-one's thought of selling suntan lotion to dolphins."

Bah, back to the drawing board

I hope you get what I mean...

Except that violations are usually deleted so they wouldn't be available to link to anyway. I will say, though, that regularly posting members do have the benefit of the doubt around here. Most, if not all, of what is in the rules is meant for spammers, not for you. If you do something that we consider to be contrary to the rules we'll (gently) let you know. No need to worry

01bunced: You should link to your websites.

Quote from rules: "Earn $10,000 a month selling suntan lotion to dolphins"
Why is this such a ridiculous idea? How else should I make my living?

Well demonhale the rules are mainly just common sense, we - the moderators - can fall back to them when we need to advise members there is a problem with their behaviour/post content/signatures etc. There probably isn't a need for the average member to have a complete knowledge of the rules as they will probably never break them!

As for your signature: I personally don't have a problem with it, as it doesn't interfere with browsing of the site. We have to put a quantitative value on the rule though, but at the same time don't want to be too restrictive or pedantic regarding enforcement. Basically it's a fine line, if you were to up the font size and start spamming like crazy we'd have a problem, but you haven't and don't so (to my mind anyway) your small transgression can be completely ignored
