Actually read this!

1. NO EMAIL ADDRESSES! Please don't post anyone's email address, even your own. Spambots can steal any address on a web page and add it to spam lists. If you need to list contact info, link to a website or put a phone number. More at spambot problems.

2. NO SIGNATURES! Posts are for sharing information, not including advertisements for your own website. (On the other hand, you can certainly make a post *about* something on your site and link to it, if it's relevant.)

3. No abuse of other members for anything they say here -- on or off the forum.

4. Be descriptive with thread titles -- like a MINIMUM of five words. Please don't make people open your thread just to find out what it's about. (Titles like "Question" or even "Question about bike lanes" are particularly useless and annoying.)

5. All posts are public, and may be reprinted anywhere.

Advertising Policy

You can post about your bicycle-related business or product in the Equipment category, once. After that, there had better be something awfully new and compelling before you start a new ad thread.

You can mention your business and include a link to it in any thread where you post a reply, as long as it's relevant, and as long as it does not sell gas engines for bicycles.

However, no email addresses or signatures in posts, period, ever.
