proposed new rule for advertising
The RepRap forums thrive on a lively discussion of current developments in 3D printing and other areas of advanced manufacturing. Posts that introduce new products and technologies for discussion are welcome and encouraged. However, posts that are simply intended to advertise a product or publicize a crowdfunding attempt do not add significantly to the discussion. Such posts may be deleted or moved to a more appropriate subforum at the moderator's discretion.

proposed new rule for links
If you run a company (selling parts or services, etc) please place a link to your company website in your signature. Not only will this publicize your company, it fosters transparency and helps to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest. We want readers to evaluate each other's comments based on their merit, not on speculations regarding some hidden agenda.
If you have a blog or projects on the wiki you are encouraged to add the links to your signature.
Please do not exceed a total of XXXX links in your signature.

the admins should not clamp down too hard on posts of any kind. Even new announcements, kickstarters, etc.
If the readers think something is crap, they can say so right in the post. Posts that are interesting will see a lot of activity and debate, and posts that are crap will sink down off the front page very quickly.
One of RepRap's greatest strengths is its chaotic and free-flowing nature. It would be a shame if heavy-handed (but perhaps well meaning) admins killed interest in the forum by meddling too much.
I want to point out that the appearance of a conflict of interest can cause problems, even if there is not actually any real conflict of interest.

However, we ask that you please keep the number of links to a minimum to avoid visual confusion. We also ask that you keep the signatures to a reasonable size as to not make them visually
obstructing to the page and it's content.
