Hello Everyone,

This is a friendly reminder that AMD Developer Forums prohibit advertising, spam and/or solicitation. This includes the addition of promotional links within the user profile's signature field, as well as within the body of individual forum posts.

11. NO ADVERTISING/SPAM or SOLICITATION. Do not use this site as a redirector or gateway to another site for the purpose of collecting click income or advertising. Although there are times when a link to another site is necessary for helping or answering a question, this site reserves the right to determine what is and is not appropriate. Any inappropriate material will be immediately deleted and the user warned. Likewise, this is not your personal "for sale" board to advertise items. There are other sites on the web that will allow you to sell your items.

When reported by other forum members, or when we discover violations of this policy, we will take action up to and including banning your account. We may also edit your posts and/or profile signatures to remove offending content.

Please see http://developer.amd.com/support/pages/forumrules.aspx for complete forum rules and terms of use.

Best Regards,

AMD Developer Central Team

To ensure the best experience for all of our forum members, we are stepping up efforts to identify and remove signature spam and embedded advertising within individual forum posts.

This is where you come in.

Given the increased volume of prohibited forum advertising, please report offending posts using the 'Report this to a Moderator' link, which appears below each individual post.

Thanks for your help!

Hi tweems66,

Thanks, that's a great question. Provided that you are not posting pay-per-click or revenue-generation links, links to third-party products/retailers/wholesalers, links to third-party services or providers, links to auction or product listing sites (e.g., eBay, craigslist, etc.), etc., you should be good to go. Basically, this means no commercial advertising of any kind.

Appropriate signature content might include your name (use caution), your title, your employer (no link), your professional associations (i.e., PMI, IEEE, etc.), your academic credentials, your personal quotes (cite authors), etc.

We very much appreciate your participation. Our goal is simply to provide the best possible experience for all of our members.
