When customizing your signature with links, images and text - this cannot be for a business or for profit. If they are, we ask that they be removed.

Advertising and Selling: Unsolicited advertising or other forms of solicitation, including but not limited to monetary donations for personal profit, are not allowed. Members who are affiliates/referrers for a company may not advertise or push a product or company on the message boards.
