Spam and Commercial Use of the Services

Please don't 'spam' through the Communication Services available with LadsLads; none of our users like it. To spam includes sending identical and irrelevant submissions to many different discussion groups, mailing lists or communities. Usually such postings have nothing to do with the particular topic of the group or are of no real interest to those on the mailing list. To spam also includes misrepresenting the source of anything you say or post. Spamming is a serious violation of online etiquette.

LadsLads reserves the right to ban a user at any time, without notice, from any or all Services for spamming.
