Nice to see you back.
As stated previously, the site is for entertainment.
If you like it? Visit. If you don't? Don't visit.
Pretty simple.

Just one little problem, Sarah.
The manifesto, which you know quite well based on your foray(s) into the help section, doesn't allow posters to promote their private business.
<<2) Our forum will not be used as a place to do your personal business. Phone numbers, home addresses and email addresses that are found in any forum other then Web Site Promotions will be deleted. Your Covers space page is the place for self promotion.
If you are promoting a service in any forum other than Website Promotions, your account may be suspended or banned by our team of moderators.>>
From a technical perspective, one could interpret this to mean that
it is fine to discuss the matter only in the WP section, but one could also interpret this to mean that when the basis for promotion (such as suggesting that the host of the website has access to sharps and bookmakers) generates hits, the actual ACT of posting anywhere but the WP section is violating the manifesto.

I'm not looking to get into a back and forth about this. If you think there is something that I need to keep an eye on, then please PM me.
I'll check on my do's and do not's with the appropriate parties.
Thanks buddy.

Last I knew, the manifesto applied to all posters and it is pretty strictly enforced in the area of website promotion.
Any other poster promoting a website would recieve the same warning in the same way. Some might have actually gotten boxed or even banned based on the grey area. I'm really not the boxing or banning type, so I don't consider it an issue really, unless it was being done in a clearly problematic way (such as promoting in the mains).
Thank you........buddy.

I was being sincere with my request for you to PM me if you had a suggestion for me.
You've already told me I'm essentially not a "normal" member of Covers since I'm a writer for SDI when it pertained to boxing D-Bags in my threads in the help section. So you can't really go back and forth with one day I'm a "normal" member, and the next day I'm a writer for SDI. In one instance, the manifesto matters, and in another instance, it does not.
We can discuss this through PM if you'd like.
Thanks.
