You are allowed to mention and to link to any non-commercial web site, as long as you do it just occasionally. If all of your messages sound as if your only purpose of coming to CureZone is to promote your site, then you should avoid posting, cause promotion is not the reason why CureZone forums exist. Question moderators will ask is: Is your message to be understood as a message posted with only purpose of promoting a web site, or does your message have content of value, content that can stand on it's own feet, even if you remove the URL? If a message have content of value, content that can stand on it's own feet, even if you remove the URL, then the message should not be considered a promotion. Another question that moderators must ask is: Is this a single message, or was this person adding a same URL to all of his/her messages? If a person is adding a same URL to all of his/her messages, then even if messages are able to stand on it's own feet, the messages may be considered a promotion, and moderators may decide to delete all messages and to block a person.

Breach of this rule may result in you being banned from CureZone! Promoting health products that you are profiting from poses a serious Before becoming involved in multilevel marketing, you should consider how much value you place upon your good name. A short-term financial gain may not be worth what it cost in long-term loss of social status. Multilevel marketing (also called network marketing) is a form of direct sales in which independent distributors sell products, usually in their customers' home or by telephone. In theory, distributors can make money not only from their own sales but also from those of the people they recruit. In case of MLM products, all customers are also salesmen. What is wrong with MLM? Hundreds of thousands of people are selling health products as "independent distributors." Product lines typically include vitamin supplements, weight loss formulas, fiber-containing snack bars, and/or herbal remedies.
MLMs are driven largely by greed. The idea of working hard for a while, building up a substantial down-line sales system, and watching the money roll in, is appealing, but is "too good to be true." Literature of the NuSkin company claimed that distributors could make $5,000 to $10,000 per month, but 98% of all distributors earned an average of $38 a month. Even the well-established Amway company has not been able to deliver on the sweet dream for most of its people. The company has 14,000 employees, and over 3 million distributors internationally, and global sales of $7 billion, yet, the average monthly gross income of Amway representatives is less than $90.
Do not behave like a forum "Commando"! A Forum "Commando" is a person who trolls forums by deleting his own messages and leaving meaningless threads. A Forum "Commando" is just like any other user. He/she participates in discussions, asks legitimate questions, posts legitimate answers. You can not recognize a forum "Commando" by reading his/her messages. It is what a forum "Commando" does later that makes him/her a problem. A forum "Commando" returns to his old messages, and removes everything, not leaving even a message subject. "Commando" jumps into a threaded forum, locates his/her own
messages and
then he/she erases any trace and any sign of his
presence, leaving forum threads deserted, meaningless, skeletons that are of no
value to future visitors.
