Terms & Conditions for Affiliating with TheChattersZone.

Please read the following carefully, if you're interested in affiliating with us! Always contact us through our email contact form, or by sending me a private message, do not post your requests anywhere on the site!

How do I get my website listed on here?

You should contact us via the contact form found at the top left hand corner of every page on the forum. If you're a current member of our site, send me a private message with the details of your website, and where you propose to put our website on your website. We will then contact you back to confirm that we accept your affiliation, and according to your website, the details we would like in our affiliation in return.

Your website can be a forum or anything at all - as long as you link to us first, then we will get your site listed on ours (subject to the content restrictions listed later in this section). Upon agreement, affiliated websites will be posted in this special affiliated-only forum, no members can post within this forum, or even reply to it, your post won't be removed or replied to, it will stay there for as long as you keep us on your site. Our members will be notifed about your website when they next login to their account via new posts, it's that simple.

We were thinking about using a special links page for it, but the forum idea seemed better, and your website will be noticed via new posts in the forum.

What all can I include in my affiliation message?

When you have affiliated with us first, we will then view where you have affiliated with us at on your website. Obviously, if you link to our site where noone is likely to see it, then we will refuse to affiliate, our site must be linked somewhere where it can be found and is likely to be seen by your members or site visitors. It's your job to tell us what you would like to say in your affiliation message, primarily, you can include an image for your site, weblinks with favicons, and a medium length description of what your website is about.

To help make it easier, you should just copy and paste the following and fill it in accordingly, how you want your post to appear. You can use BBcode to format your message, according to your taste, size, color, images, and favicon URL links. You cannot use HTML. Alternatively, you can let us format it for you, but you must tell us what you would like to say.

Make sure to include all the following in your affliation message:

Short Description: (This will be the subject of your message. You cannot include BBcode here.)

Main Description: (This will be the main description of your website, and what your site is about, etc. This will also include any links or images, you must be detailed about what you want! What you send, is what will be posted, no more, no less! So please include all BBcoding and images and explicitly tell us if you want your URL to have the favicon appearing. All images should be posted from photobucket (or an image hosting site), we will not download banners. If you would like us to format your message, please let us know, otherwise include all BBcoding in your message.

Tags: (This will be a tag of words most likely to be suited to your website, you can have 5 tagwords at the bottom of your post. This means users who search the forum for certain words are more likely to find your post if they use a search word you have specified!)

Which websites will you not affiliate with?

We will not affiliate with websites with the following content:

• Material likely to be found illegal in the country that we host in, or material which breaches our host's terms of service. (Warez, illegal downloading, illegal content, etc)
• Pornographic websites.
• Websites inciting hatred or racism.
• Websites which have been spammed on our site in the past.
• Websites which are currently censored by our wordfilter.
• Websites with other unsuitable content not listed here. (We will let you know specific reasons if this is the case.)
• Websites hosting malware, rogue programmes, excessive pop ups, or other malicious content. We run tests on sites by McAfee and other security software vendors to find out this information. If your site owns a "caution" or "dangerous" rating, we will deny it.

We also will remove any affliated websites if we become aware that the above content is on any site we're affliated with, if the content was not there previously.

How long should I expect before a reply?

All emails and private messages are normally responded to within 24 hours! Please allow a little more time in relation to affliation with our site. To help us affliate with your site faster, please ensure you have read all of the above information before contacting us. We require our site to be on your site, before we list your site on here, if you're not willing to do that, then please do not contact us, we will not list you first. Include the full URL of your website.

All emails and private messages that come in for a request will be responded to in any case, whether denied or accepted.

How long will my message stay on here, and can I change it at a later date, or even get it bumped?

Your advertising will stay on here for as long as you keep us on your site subject to the content restrictions above. However, because I am busy most times, it's highly unlikely I can go about bumping topics or editing them constantly, if it's something urgent, I will change it, if not, then I won't.

I want my advertising removed - how?

Send us a message from the same email address you used to contact us originally with, we will then remove it at your request!
