Membership levels (Please read)

[draggar]

This is a basic rundown of the privileges of the membership levels. Please read though them so you know what your level is and is not allowed to do on these forums.

Gold level members can:
- Buy domains (including replying to sales threads and PM people selling domains)
- Ask for and contribute to appraisals in the appraisal section
- Offer to buy domains in the "Domains and Websites Wanted" section
- Contribute to discussions in discussion forums (this does not include promoting or advertising services etc. - discussions ONLY)
- Ask for help (specific screvies, instructions, etc.) in the help wanted subforum.
- "Chat" in the gold cafe (and related subforums)
- Gold members do not have signature privelages. They also may not sell, advertise, or promote their domains, websites, goods, and/or services (etc.).

Platinum level members can:
- Conduct all gold level business
- Sell domains (in the domain sales subforums) and fully developed websites
- Broker domains (in the domain brokerage section only)
- Chat in the platinum lounge
- Promote or advertise their servies and / or goods in the advertising section (in this section ONLY)
- May have ONE link in their signature (it may NOT be an affiliate link)

Exclusive members can:
- Conduct all gold and platinum level business
- Sell domains in the exclusive forums (in this section there is no "domain in title" rule and you can post it in this forum and ONE other sales forum for maximum exposure)
- Post domains for sale to exclusive members only
- Ask for appraisals from exclusive members only (private appraisals - no "domain in title" rule for this section
- Advertise / promote their own services to exclusive members only
- Chat in the exclusive (only) club
- May have up to 3 links in their signature (including one affiliate link)
- May also have a banner in their signature

* - The "exclusive only" option is optional - exclusive members can use the platinum and gold level forums for all members (with the proper access) to view and participate in. Exclusive members have the option to sell, advertise, ask for appraisals, etc. for other exclusive members (only) to see.

This list can change at any time - please check back to ensure you fully understand what your membership level allows you to do. There is no "grandfathering" if the level rights change.

Please remember, making a post for someone who does not have the correct privileges (for example, an exclusive member posting a domain sale or advertisement for a gold level member) can get both members banned.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in this thread (if it is still open) or PM one of the mods or admins. Questions should be only in regards to the rights for membership levels (can a XYZ level member do this? etc.), please do not post or ask about promotions, rewards, and enticements (past, present, and future).
