Duplicate Ads
When posting advertisement in the main website, the following is already explicitly stated: Important Notice! Posting duplicate ads is NOT allowed. This is necessary so that visitors (who are your prospect clients) will not be annoyed with duplicate ads when browsing them. This is also important as 75% of our traffic comes from Search Engines and these Search Engines penalize pages with duplicate content and you will get lesser exposure for your ads if your pages are penalized.

Ads in Forum
Ads are strictly prohibited here in the forum. We already have the main website for advertising purposes and 95% of our traffic goes to the main website. Furthermore, it is explicitly stated in the message form here in the forum the following message in large font: STRICTLY NO ADVERTISEMENTS ALLOWED HERE IN THE FORUM

Sold Items
As part of our rules, it is explicitly stated to "Delete any advertisements that are no longer valid (e.g. sold-out items, jobs filled-in)." This is to save time for both our visitors and also advertisement owners (e.g. others still asking question and advertisement owner answering them just to inform them that the item is already sold).

Advertisement Hijacking
In our ads message form, it is already explicitly stated the following: Important Notice! Posting your own advertisement as a reply message here is not allowed. As a respect to the advertisement owner, it is strictly prohibited for other members getting the attention of possible clients to other advertisement.

Text Speak and Camel-case Message
Our messages are not limited to 160 characters. It is actually difficult to read "text speak" messages.
