JetForums Rules, Directions & Guidelines...

Welcome to JetForums!​

By registering, you'll be updated with occasional e-mails on the latest news, products and events. Because we upload news daily, you will often get this information long before you read it in a magazine. A quick note on your e-mail address... rest assured... it only resides on our server. It will never become public domain, never sold to marketers and never used for promotion!

Commercial signatures and hyperlinks are NOT allowed in posts or on your signature line. This also includes images. If you actively participate in the forums, sharing knowledge and information, an occasional reference to your work *when applicable*... is acceptable. Otherwise, it's SPAM. Any posts not meeting this criteria will be deleted without notice and your membership will be removed as well.

Do NOT Post Your E-Mail Address or Phone Number In The Forums...!


JetForums has been highly optimized to attract web-crawlers and automated bots. Some are good... and some are bad. The latter of these two harvest e-mail addresses and phone number to sell them to marketers. The result? Your inbox is filled with SPAM or your phone rings during dinner with an automated voice trying to sell you something.

Rules Regarding Links & Images...


1. Links: PLEASE be careful about the links you post on JetForums. While we encourage links that are relevant, educational, informative or just 'plane' fun, remember that other sites can benefit by a link from JetForums... especially other forums or magazines that are similar in nature. Signatures or posts not meeting this criteria will be deleted. If you alter the same after the fact, your membership will be removed as well.
