If a member is found to be a company representative or a network marketer after they have joined the community, this can be cause for being banned from the community.

Copyright
Content posted on the web site needs to be comply with copyright laws. Not sure if you are violating copyright laws? Easy: a general rule of thumb is not to paste entire articles (you can paste a link to the article source with a little introductory blurb as an option) and not to post photos and videos that you don’t own the rights to. Any exceptions to this? If the author/owner of the article, photo or video specifically states that the content posted can be reused elsewhere without asking for permission, then it is OK to do so. Otherwise, do not assume this is the case.

Items thought to be in violation of copyright can be removed from the site without notification.
