Dear Members,
We have revised our old rules to include a few new ones.
It is requested that you kindly go through them in order to stay within the community rules.
Since the signature and avatar rules have been changed, it is requested that all members go through the rules and change their signatures accordingly.
The updated signature rules come into effect from 10th March 2006.
It seems that some members despite the announcement have not yet read the rules and are not following them.
Thus for the benifit of all members, the edits in the rules are being posted here:

TechEnclave.com already has to display ads to cover the running costs, so don't annoy our members by making your sig into some sort of web ad. (ie: Advertising in your sig is not allowed).We allow sigs only to non advertising personal websites or to blogs. If you are posting such links in your sig then please make sure you have only one outgoing link.
Your signature may not advertise or link to a competing site or an alternative to TechEnclave.com. This has been an issue lately. Staff are aware of it and will take action against any offending signatures we may see.
This is not an open directory, if you love slashdot or elite uber tech then good for you, we dont want to see it here, this is not an tech advertising site!!! You may contact the administrators for an Affiliate programme or advertising on TechEnclave if you are the administrator of the site in question.
Uploading girls in bikini or lingerie in any section apart from "Bikini Babes" is a violation of TE Rules. Kindly note that some images from even this section are vulgar in nature and maybe deleted with or without prior warning.
Uploading topless ,transparent tops or nude images are not allowed and strict action will be taken against offenders which could result in a possible ban.
If you are unsure about which section to upload your picture/images to, contact a gallery mod.
Members not found following the new signature rules, will have their signatures edited with or without prior warning.
Those uploading images in the gallery outside the specified rules, will be issued a warning and the images will be deleted without any prior notification.
Members taking undue advantage of the new smilie rule will also have action taken against them.
