What about mentioning and linking to non-commercial web sites?

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.

I have a homepage.  Can I add URL of my Homepage as a signature to all of my messages?

No, that is against our rules.
But, you can add URL of your Homepage to your public profile, and that way you can promote your website.

Promoting health products that you are profiting from poses a serious
 conflict-of-interest
even if you are a qualified health care practitioner,
and even if products are worthwhile.

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.
That doesn't mean that products are wortheless,
it only means that there is a significant conflict of interest.

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.

• Products sold in this fashion must be overpriced to finance the greedy profits promised to distributors (person selling products, and all salesmen on the higher level of "piramid" or "network" are suppose to earn from each sale).
• Selling health products one recommends poses a serious conflict-of-interest even when sellers are qualified and products worthwhile.
• Salespeople are encouraged to make oral health claims while companies seek deniability for themselves via fine print disclaimers.

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 try to create FAKE discussions!

Some people try generating fake discussions, by posting questions and answers from 2 or 3 different usernames, or by simply using anonymous number #54565 when posting one message, and real username when posting another message.

Do not try to do that! You can not cheat curezone moderators with such cheap tricks.

People have been banned from CureZone for less!

Why do some posts get deleted?
If you post a message in breach of any one of the previously mentioned rules, your message will be removed!

We have different rules for different forums.  Rules that apply for support forums are far more strict then the rules that apply to debate forums.  You can easily troll a support forum because of our stricter guidelines, as we are focused on support-based posts only.  No debating.

Most CureZone forums are intended for support!

Avoid sending unsupportive messages!

Why do some members get blocked?
