[li]TechEnclave.com already has to display ads to cover the running costs, so don’t further annoy our members by making your signature some sort of a web ad (i.e. Advertising in your signature is not allowed). We only allow links to non advertising personal websites or blogs. If you are posting such links in your signature then please make sure you have only one outgoing link. The Staff of TechEnclave.com hold the right to judge if a link in your signature is allowed or not.[/li]
[li]Your signature may not advertise or link to a competing site or an alternative to TechEnclave.com. Staff will take action against any offending signatures we may see.[/li]
[li]This is not an open directory, if you love xyz.com then good for you, we dont want to see it here, this is not an tech advertising site! You may contact the administrators for an affiliate program or for advertising on TechEnclave if you are the administrator of the site in question.[/li]
[li]For Avatars: Up to 100 pixels wide, 100 pixels tall and 25KB in size.[/ol][/li][/quote]
Please note that members have 24 hours to ensure their signatures are in-line with the guidelines above. Any members found violating the rules even after this, shall be issued a warning/infraction apart from having their signatures taken down.
