I don't get it Glan. Can you explain to a dummy like me please?
1. Advertising of any kind is not permitted at this site unless you are a sponsor. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, click here. This includes mentioning manufacturers, dealers, etc
in the forums or through LawnSite.com e-mail or private messaging. You are also not permitted to include phone numbers addresses, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, or web addresses or links in your posts, e-mail, private messages or signature lines.
OK now this would apply to all the websites some members have on their signature. This also applies to when someone asks where to buy mail order parts and goods. Any mention outside the list of sponsors. Looking for an Exmark? can't list a dealer, for that would be advertising for the dealer not Exmark.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. You are not permitted to use LawnSite.com to spam members for any reasons. This includes advertising products or services, promotion of a web site or another Green Industry Forum. LawnSite.com will exercise its rights under the law to pursue legal action in regard to this matter
Part of this rule is already inclusive with rule #1. And it lacks adequate explanation of "Spamming" of which is intermingled in rule #1 Basicaly this rule is repititous

Not really repetitive. #1 refers to advertising more or less on the board, or in a "subtle" way, which happens all the time....You usually don't see these types of posts because moderators are usually on top of this.... #13 is specifically referring to spamming members whether Green Industry related or not...which happens from time to time.
Members helping members is one thing and will obviously not be frowned upon....but when a member has made 45 posts and 41 of them are about "XYZ Company", it's not to hard to tell what they are up to.

LOL
So it's OK for me to mention say Gemplers to order work gloves
Meanwhile in rule #1 it clearly states
"This includes mentioning manufacturers, dealers, etc in the forums or through LawnSite.com e-mail or private messaging."
Further more. How can you possibly restrict a private email or message? It is private. You censor a mode of communication that is deemed "private" it is against the law regardless if you are providing the ways and means. You include the term "Private" it is then clearly that "Private"
And 4 and 6 can be included to one rule.

Hey Glan,

Well try this one on.

GLAN.... 4 and 6 are different and therefore separate....mentioning drugs and posting a depiction of violence don't really fall into the same category....
Also, you are incorrect about PRIVATE messaging, trust me....if not me, ask an attorney (I did)..... I can change it from "Private" messaging to "super duper quiet on the down low" messaging....my point is, what it is named does not have any bearing on what can or cannot be done with it.
Oh, and yes GLAN, you can post a link to Gempler's....

^ good one TotalCareSolutions....
* also, we have to trust members use the email and PM services per rules and regulations... many times when this services is abused we find out from members who report it to administrators or moderators.

All e-mail and messaging is private, unless you put in your terms of use that it is subject to review by the admin or his employees (Moderators)
Or didn't you attorney tell you this MINE DID!!!
4 - 6 - 10 and 11
Can be grouped into one rule
There is no desperate need to seperate them. Each of those rules pertain to posting. But that is the first in more than 15 years have seen a site mention exploitation of minors, an ISP yes. How it pertains to LS I'm not sure. Or even why?
Oh and uh....................this is not baiting, nothing I have done in this thread can be catagorized as such.
Thanks for the loaner shoes, but I won't be needing them......

OK, you re-write, condense them, shine them up, we can go from there...
PM's and email are sent through a database and encrypted. We have to rely on members reporting and or forwarding messages that might infringe on rules and regulations.
When I was cutting and landscaping I could only wish that I had this much extra time to critique business that was not mine.

I hear ya Sean
But it does go by the word.
"Private" is just that.
Now if was worded "email through this site or direct messaging is subject to the same rules". Then you have a legal right to monitor and censor as you would the forums.
Where the rules say that the mode of communication is "Private" there is no interperatation. It does have a bearing in the courts. Thus rules do not apply.
For if someone reports it. And if action is taken to revoke ones membership based on that, then it is no longer "private" as stated in your TOS. Justified legal action can be taken against the party enforcing the revokation
Provide the ability to report messages that violate ROC, the termininology "private" does not exist and should not based on the definition of the word. There is not or any implyed interperatation of the word.

It don't take much time Chuck...........
But now isn't this site about helping one another?
Then again I am privy to certain knowledge.
LIKE I SAID!!
"PM's and email are sent through a database and encrypted. We have to rely on members reporting and or forwarding messages that might infringe on rules and regulations." Nobody likes spam... when it happens, most people report or forward it.
Regardless... admin or moderators can terminate a users membership at any time, and at its sole discretion, with or without cause.
So, we don't have to 'base' our actions on any reason.

This is not a public site. It is a private enterprise. And that holds more weight being that membership is free.
A paid membership a course of actions needs to be taken and notice given. No different than a country club and it's bylaws.
The paid is irrelevent, worthy of mentioning though.
Why thanks ChuckOriginally posted by chuckwk

That is very nice of you to say, not what I expected or probably deserve. The feeling is mutual. It's all good.........
Hey Chuck Sinclair and GLAN sounds like a little competition from an upstart trying to take on the big boys. Looks like I have inside knowledge since I can read between the lines.
This is the best lawn site so give it up.
