Forum Rules (Update: 07 Sep 2010)

The quicksales forums are a place where members can chat, have a discussion, ask questions, receive support and make suggestions about quicksales. quicksales also has a forum topic for wanted items where members can post a message about an item they want. These forums can be very helpful, entertaining and a place where members can meet new friends.

This is a private forum for the use of quicksales members. You are our guests. We do our best trying to keep the forums presentable and will delete messages we deem inappropriate as we see fit without warning.

By using the quicksales forum you agree and acknowledge that any information or material submitted by you to the forum is and will be treated by quicksales as non-confidential and non-proprietary and we may use such material without restriction. When you submit material to the forum, you licence us to reproduce such material. You must not post or transmit any material in which the copyright is owned by another person or entity and you warrant to quicksales that all material posted is your original work and not sourced from any third party.

We ask members to abide by the following rules so that the forum topics can be a positive experience for members. Posts that are in violation of this policy may be removed and the member may be suspended without warning.

  1. No Advertising - Do not post messages about specific auctions or include references / links to other locations which have products for sale. Do not post links to external forums, groups or sites not affiliated with quicksales. Do not spam. No blatant advertising.
  2. Keep your messages clean - Do not start threads or post messages that contain offensive language.
  3. Respect other members - Do not post messages about disputes, auctions, ratings or blocking of other members.
  4. Privacy - Do not post contact details of others.
  5. Disputes - quicksales will not get involved in any disputes between participants in the forum. Any disputes in a thread may result in the whole thread being deleted.
  6. No cross posting or multiple posting - Post your message once, in the appropriate forum. Do not post more than one thread in a row. Do not post more than two replies to a thread in a row. Posting lots of times in a row reduces the quality of the forums and is a waste of resources.
