NO ADVERTISING/SOLICITING ALLOWED IN THIS OR ANY OTHER FORUM

I have noticed that make-up artists have started to tout for business in these forums. You are allowed to provide free advice from the goodness of your heart but as soon as there is any indication of financial gain to you, that becomes advertising or soliciting and that breaches the rules. If you persist in such activity you will be banned from the site.

So, we can offer advice but cant let it be known that we are make-up artists?
e.g. If I were to write. "As a makeup artist I can recommend that you use ....." Am I soliciting?
It is all rather subtle shades of murky grey and I totally dont understand.

Could we possibly have a few less stickies regarding this issue at the top of this section please?
I'm not a make up artist, or anything similar, but to have six separate stickied topics which are all substantively the same is overkill, and does nothing other than clog up the forum, and make it harder to read.
If you can't get the point across in one, you never will.

Actually this site is really good and has helped me with loads of things, but if you really want to advertise your business pay for it!!! Or go on business listings duh..
I think make up artists should be able to promote on here, I'm trying to find someone to do my hair and make up where i live and it is impossilbe unless you wanna pay stupid money. I was looking on here for help and havent had any luck
Mrsb2be try facebook, I found mine on there, search for make up artists around your area and click on groups you probs will find someone. Or just google most of them come up.
Oh I think its ridiculous, its taken far to seriously sometimes! I reccommended someone the other day without even thinking about it!! Because she is amazing and talented! I also think if someone wants to try their luck it really doesnt offend me at all! Far worse goes on on this site like the pathetic threds that are in general chat ever day tainting the rest of the site.....BORIN!! I happen to love spending time looking at wedding fashion and hair and make up...and who is good who isnt

The best recommendations are by word of mouth...which is why I can imagine a lot of people are on here.
If I recommend a make-up artist...then I won't be making any financial gain....but it could be seen as advertising.
But what really brings this site into disrepute is the fact that it remains largely un-moderated....except for things like this.

Oh god i absolutely agree with you! That was awful. It would be nice to have recommendations from other brides, brides who used starting up friends/family and for businesses to put up promotions.
We can't find everything ourselves! x
