URGENT QUESTION

Hey, do we get any penalty points (thus, get kicked out off this site) if we pm the members to join our new contest?

please reply back!

Not for what you suggest. You should not use PMs to request comments on poems, though, as that could lead to penalties. Also, of course, be respectful and civilized, and if requested, do not repeat PMs.

EDIT:

Take a look at the rules for clarification:

The ones most directly related to your question and some that help prevent other problems are:
Site/Forum Rules:

1. Most important rule: be respectful to other members. You can debate and disagree without being disrespectful. Failure to be respectful may result in penalties. Minor swear words will be tolerated if not directed at other members, and if not used excessively.

2. Do not post any personal information - your full name, address, email address, myspace/facebook information, phone number etc. anywhere in the forums or in your profile. Also, do not use anyone else's personal information - whether they are a member of this site or not.

13. Most rules apply to the PM system. Do not solicit votes or comments within private messages.

15. All posts must be in English or with a direct translation attached.

But I only asked sending a pm requesting to "JOIN OUR CONTEST" not "comment on my poem"! :p

so what is it? do we get penalty points if we send a request to "join our contest" ??

^^ A contest I've made in the "contests.." threadS

THEN PLEASE JOIN IT ALL :D

Great contest and inspiring titles, in my opinion. But you have to make sure that it is not rule-breaking to invite the members to your contest via PMs :)

Okay, well I sent like only 4 pms
I don't want to repet it unless I get the answer to my above question!

:D

I dont see any big deal here, any thread or post that promotes poetry is a good thing... Go to it young man....

@ bob.. okay ?

I would not penalize you for pming a new member letting them know in a polite manner about your contest; however, I would recommend wording it as such .... Hope to see you participate instead of please please check it out and join in....

Okay..
Then, different pm forms, okay, thankss :D

Since o.p. got his answer I assume it is safe to let this drop. Have a great day everyone!
