We are here to share information and give help with planning your wedding.

Do not neglectfully place your advertisements through the Discussion Forums. Do not post links to your website to announce your site or new design or build your link popularity. You can read the full rules on posting your URLs in this post (you are welcome to add a link to your signature after you have made your first post. You are also welcome to announce your business and URL only in the Member Introductions area).

Posting Advertising or self promotional links for your services in the forum threads will be considered SPAM and could result in the loss of your Grooms Forums Community Membership. Affiliate links are not allowed within the forums. If you wish to promote a particular program then promote the program not your own affiliate tie with it. Do not SPAM other members via PM with unsolicited business offers.

 Don't attack others with words. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Flaming, derogatory insults and hate speech will not be allowed in this forum. If you disagree with another member’s point of view, do so in a mature and civil manner. If someone seeks help from other forums members, please do not respond unless you have something positive or helpful to add. If you find yourself being flamed or insulted by another member, please do not dignify that person with a response. Notify a moderator or admin and let us handle it

 Think before you post or speak: Do you really want to put your address or telephone number on a public discussion forum? We encourage you to keep personal information personal.

 There may be places where explicit, obscene or vulgar language, graphics or behavior is appropriate however the Grooms Forums are not one of those places. Posts containing explicit, obscene or vulgar language will be removed. Links to Websites with adult content/images anywhere on the site will be removed. Simply put, we do not wish to be seen as supporting any site that contains adult content - adult content being defined as any material that you would not feel comfortable showing to your spouse, your young brother or sister, or your boss and co-workers.

 We want you to express yourself on the Grooms Forums. We encourage all users to upload a unique avatar (image or graphic) that will show up next to their posts. This will help others quickly identify who is posting the message as well as allow them to get to know your personality a bit more. Avatar images should be static GIF or JPG images that are no larger than 48 pixels high by 48 pixels wide. The file size should be very small (under 5k) to keep page loading times to a minimum. You may upload an avatar after your first post. Please design your avatar graphic to have a white or transparent background.

 In order to keep the pages loading time of the forums to a minimum and to allow the discussions to be easy to follow, we have adopted the following guidelines for signatures. Preferably, your "signature" should include your name and/or your business name and a link to your personal or business website(s). To be specific:

-The maximum font size allowed in signature lines is 2. -The maximum number of lines in a signature is 2. -The maximum number of hyperlinks in a signature is 2. -No images allowed in signatures except for a maximum of 2 non-animated Grooms Forums smilies. -Signature text should comply with our regular posting rules. No all-caps, no alternating caps, etc.. -Signature text that is too long or obtrusive will be removed. This would include overly creative use of punctuation, color, etc. which make the signature too flashy. -No affiliate or referral links! -Signatures cannot contain any calls to action like "Click here" "visit my site for more information" or any other language that could be mistaken as part of the post or be misconstrued as an advertisement.

Please do not post the same discussion more than once in the discussion forums or on many forums. Reproduction discussions are hard to keep up with and counterproductive for other members who are trying to help. Duplicate discussions will be deleted.

 A maximum of ONE account is allowed per person. If you are found to be using two or more accounts, one or more of them will be deleted and you may be banned from the Grooms Forums depending on the situation. Please register one account only. If you’re having account problems, please use the Contact Us link and state the problem you are having. One of the Admin’s may recommend that you re-register if the problem cannot be solved but in most all cases a problem with an account can be corrected by an Admin

 Discussions about moderator or administrator actions are welcome in email or private messages, but should not be discussed in public forums. This is out of respect for the members and moderators or policy involved.

 No Copyrighted Material. See terms of service .

 Please do not use the forums to bash or bad mouth another other companies. If you have an issue or complaint with a particular company, take it. Although we may provide forums for discussing a particular company's products or services, we are not to be considered the company forum. Posts like "That company A really sucks" or "company B's products are a piece of crap" or "company Z's customer service is rude" may be edited or removed. You may of course respond truthfully to other member's questions about a company's products or services, however, please do so in a professional manner.
