Check out these rules.. and be happy lensman let's us get away with so much shit!

Moderators will use their discretion depending on the nature of the post as to whether to take action or not.

Participants may only discuss details about their company and/or product offerings when the thread starter or poster has made direct reference to their company and stated something untrue or misleading or something which clearly needs clarifying, the response must be in direct reference to the point discussed only and contain no added promotional information and/or fluff. It is advisable when in the above scenario to contact us first.
