It really ain't that confusing. The guidelines are regularly posted on many regional boards. Below is a very brief summary (MDL gave a longer one).
1. You can post one ad per week (any 7-day period).
2. Your ad must include a link that goes to your website, to your TER review profile, or directly to your ad on an escort mall.
Your contact info must be on the site you link to.
3. You may include a link in messages you CONTRIBUTE to any TER dsicission board, and that does not count toward you ad limit. Just please make those linked messages meaningful, entertatining or helpful contributions.
So, for example, if you post on Monday regarding your availability, and you post again on Thursday regarding specials or that you are lonely and need company, then you've posted twice in a 7-day period.
Again, it's really not that hard.
Just to set the record straight,what can we do and what can we do as far as links? I am tired of getting yelled at by srvfan.
hehe lol
My apologies to Led Zeppelin!
Jeez, I'm as confused as anyone right now. Let me contact Staff and I'll post an answer asap.
And TymberLee, I never yell at anyone .... I just moderate them. lol

I agree with Gingko here... There was a debate about this on the national board and I think the same consensus was reached there almost unanimously that:
a. Providers are ALWAYS welcome and encouraged to start or participate in any discussion.
b. It helps everyone determine who's who when those providers include their link in their non-ad posts.
c. A and B above work just fine as long as providers don't abuse it by submitting lame or senseless posts that don't add to the board, just to get their link publsihed. If that starts to happen, others will probably start to speak up, and SRVfan probably will too.
Things have gotten pretty quiet from most of the providers now that we're being kind of poo-poo'ed by several of them after Madison's ordeal. I don't think there's any need to be too strict about links, or even enforce the 7-day rule when times are quiet. Are we trying to control a problem that doesn't really exist right now just to make the "policy" consistent? We're not trying to enforce corporate policy here... In this setting, I think moderation can be adaptive, letting things get a little free-wheeling and then tightening things up as needed. That looseness doesn't work for an HR department but I think it works just fine here.
