A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch

In the last few hours, Ive been getting requests via PM and email about marketing adoption related products on our site Җ the argument is being made that we are allowing the marketing of bracelets and t-shirts made by/sold by our members to be marketed so these people feel they should have a right to do the same thing. Sadly, this is the reason why we dont allow retail URLҒs our members would share them and businesses would see that as an invitation to market their product/service via our site. So, from this point on ֖ we are going to strictly enforce the No Marketing of Products of Services, regardless of your vested interest in the product or serviceӔ portion of our Terms of Service. I know this will make some of you angry and while I do understand and empathize with your frustration, we have to make sure that our site remains a positive place for those touched by adoption to come visit and seek support ֖ and not a marketing tool/advertising site for businesses looking to make a buck. This does not mean you can no longer share cool products with other members please continue to do that, but it does mean that threads created for the sole purpose of marketing a product/service and asking members to PM you for contact information will be deleted and moderation will take placeօthis is regardless of whether you have a vested interest or not.
