Prolly get banned but....Wow Giant Red Blinking Letters:
Important: NO SOLICITATION, FREE ADS, or FREE PERSONAL SITE LINKS, EVER!
Heaven forbid someone see the trucking industry from anothers point of view besides tr.com? I understand the no ads or solicitation but how do personal site links effect the revenue of this site? I mean I know you sell ad space, no big surpise. But why aren't users allowed to post their own website link in their signature or something? Kinda "Hitler-ish" if you ask me. Get your trucker information from us or no-one else? Just one new users opinion. Sorry if it offends admins/mods, not trying to just my P.O.V.
Wow, Forum Rules

Well, I gotta give you credit, at least you READ them.
But seriously, personal sites can contain other undesirable content that this site does not want to be associated with. Hence the rule.
Sorry, but some bad apples did this, and unfortunately the rule had to be put in place. -

Yeah, I understand your thinking to, but with this many members, you can just imagine who would love to get their content in front of your eyes. We get spammed so badly every day that its exhausting. We just want a clean site that is for drivers, with out all the in your face advertising.
Welcome to the forum. Go introduce yourself in the Welcome Wagon. Get to know some folks here. -
Yea they post links then you get some kinda porn mess then guess what happens?
yep!
we get accused of peddling porn.

Hey Kaonix, that is what Google is for...we are not a spam repository here. Move on if you don't like it. AND if you want to blog somewhere else, go for it! Just don't use us to spam your site is all. I don't go to your site to spam a link to us and we won't accept it here either. Period. WHY would we want a link to your site when the whole freggin' point of this site is to do it here and have all the information on-hand and easily accessible? I am always AMAZED at your type as you come here to complain about NOT being able to spam us??? WTF? People are AMAZING. It would be like me walking into your house, pissing on your carpet and me EXPECTING you to like it AND then complain when you don't! In other words, I have my own toilet, sure...I use it, I won't ask to use your carpet! THINK for once! Amazing...come here and post a WORTHLESS post complaining that we don't want you to spam our site....SHEESH!
smurf-316, Big Duker, Cybergal and 1 other person Thank this. -
WiseOne Thanks this.

Just from your basic info here. I have to assume that you know very little about anything. Especially running a web site as a business.
Do you do your own scripting? Or is it a simple "fill in the blank"? Do you hard code your "web pages"? Or fill in the boxes?
"Free ads" are an invitation to every troll in the world to attempt to increase their search engine standings, by posting a link.
Do you understand how meta tags and source work? Do you understand, and know how to block spiders?
Are you familiar with the term htaccess ? Have you ever grepped a file?
In days past, personal web sites were relegated to the trash bin within a search engine. Because that's what most of them are...trash.
They have no relevance, nor are they based in very many facts. It's the "new messenger" service of the year. Next year, it will be something else.Cybergal, WiseOne and Skateboardr'swife Thank this. -
Danc694u, AMEN!!! AMEN!!! I appreciate that backup!
GOOGLE what you want if you think you need to find info elsewhere, WTH is so hard in that? I do it ALL the time! AND you ALL are perfectly welcome to put you OWN opinions on trucking, or whatever, in here, NP! We are VERY open, but simply will NOT put up with spam anymore. And, YES, when you run around promoting your own site by posting your links in forums you ARE a spammer, period.
Sorry, this just gets me fired up anymore due to the absolute GALL of it!Skateboardr'swife, 59halfstep and Cybergal Thank this. -

It's laughable that people can get pissed off at us for not allowing them to post links to their site and spam our forums.
