Question No AdSense - Part 2
Since the original thread was closed before I had the chance to ask, I opened this thread, quoting SawanM0112:

@fSupport: Is this mentioned in the ToS? Where? And if so, may I ask why?!

Ok, what about the other advertising methods (Regular advertising banners, AdSense...etc.)?

And is this mentioned in the ToS? Where? And if so, may I ask why?!

Thanks in advance.

Well the immediate answer I would give if I were Limez is well you are taking potential money he needs to pay for the free forum he is hosting for you along with several million others.

1. It is against Google's Adsense rules.

Why? Both advertisements can stay. Forumer Advertisement along side with my advertisement. People click on the advertisement that contains something that matters to them, right?

I see no harm if I try to make some money of the forum I do lots of efforts to attract people to, and keep them.

But since it's mentioned in the ToS, I have nothing to say. But just wondering why? and how would it harm Forumer if I placed an another advertisement next to theirs on my forum?!

Thanks.

Ok then, let's forget about Google AdSense.

Why other sorts of advertisements is not allowed (Regular advertising banner for a company that is owned by a friend of mine)?

Sorry if I'm being annoying.

Thanks.

Because it states clearly that no paid advertisements are allowed. We have the right to decide.

So if I placed a not-paid advertisement that doesn't turn on any money to me, that would be ok?

And how can you tell on that one? I don't want my forum to be deleted because of a non-paid advertisement I placed on my forum, and was misjudged.

Thanks.

A "non-paid advertisement" would just be a link to another site, now wouldn't it? As long as you are making no financial gain from the ad and you don't tamper with Forumer's ad in the process, feel free to put it on your forum. Thinks like spreadfirefox banners and such are perfectly fine.

Please do not PM me for support.

Ok thanks, but one thing, a "not-paid advertisement" can also be an image as well not just a text link.

And of course, I wouldn't tamper with Forumer's advertisements in the process, I just want to place a "not-paid advertisement(s)" along side with it, that's all.

So now, if I understood you correctly; doing favors to friends by placing an advertising banner for them on my forum for free - without getting paid for it - is not against Forumer ToS, therefore it's allowed, am I right?

Thanks again.

That is correct.

As long as you are not making any money from the ads, you're fine.

Been there, destroyed that.
