text: This isn't really a new policy -- more like a clarification of the policy we've been following for years:
  SELF-PROMOTION AND SPAM: Members may place a link to their personal or business websites/blogs in their Profile. After you have participated here for a while, you will have access to the Links, Resources and Blogs board, where you can plug your own survival-related website. Buying/selling/trading of goods or services is restricted to the Swap Meet board (please see Posting In The Swap Meet Board). If the moderators determine that you are posting here primarily to get free advertising for your business dealings or your website, we may delete your posts, remove your links, and/or ban you from the forum.
