Newcomers and Outbound Links

[Chy]

Please take a moment to review our Code of Conduct and be mindful our continued policy when posting outbound links.

11. Links, rather URL addresses to outbound sources are permitted in posts and signatures by those with ESTABLISHED MEMBER status and higher, however they must be relevant and related to the topic at hand and the overall concept of recovery, however please do not post hyper links to other self-help and recovery forums as a courtesy to our forum, you may put the address without it being a hyper link (ex. www. this is okay .com) link or send it in a pm if there is something you think may be helpful. DO NOT HYPER LINK or HOT LINK TO ANY SITE WITHOUT FORUMS TEAM PERMISSION, HYPER LINKS WILL BE DISABLED BY FORUMS TEAM WITHOUT NOTICE. You may seek approval from the administrator for signature links if you have been an active member for more than 90 days and have a post count of 100+. NO AD links of any kind requesting members login info and such are permitted. If you are unsure please contact a Forum Leader for clarification.

For signature links to your personal site/blog we ask that a reciprocal link be placed to The Sober Village and upon validation once you achieve Established Member+ status, if links are not reciprocal they will be removed by the Forums Team at their discretion. Signature links may only be to those sites/blogs expressly owned and operated by the member. You may not post signature links to sites/blogs in which you have no ownership in.

If you would like to maintain a link without a back link to the Village please contact the site owner for advertising rates on permanent signature links without a reciprocal back link.

Links or domain names to other sites with questionable content are not permitted and will be removed without notice.

As always with exception to explicit material sites we welcome members to link back to The Sober Village on behalf of The Sober Village to all relevant sites.

In addition, posting content expressly owned by anyone other then yourself may not be reproduced here unless expressed permission has been granted by the site owner/author and not in violation of their copyright policy. Any such posts in violation of anothers work will be immediately removed until confirmation from the owner has been received and must be addressed directly to me at admin@thesobervillage.com

Thanks!
