Are you following the Rules?
There is always something happening here in WA. Most of the time it is full of wonderful training not only by Kyle or Carson but also by many of our members.
We have seen and learnt from each others post we create here along with the training session other Premium members have created.
We love to see not only the success of all our members which also include any Newbies whether they are starter members or just recently gone Premium.
To all you, keep going forward and thank you to those who have continued to help and support and contribute each other along our journey here.
Unfortunately
However, there is an unfortunate part that will happen especially to recent newbies some are totally innocent but some as many members know have other intentions.
Those negative ones soon get weeded out for good if they continue their false ways.
The negative and false ways relate to spamming other members of this great community.
One thing I have noticed and many of you would agree that lately there has been a surged of spamming going on perhaps as we are getting closer to the festive season they try their luck but fortunately we have many members who know the rules but there are many who don't or worst still some who have been here for a while still don't follow the rules in place.
These rules have been put in place by Carson and Kyle and Kyle's post below
This is for the safety of our community members as many including myself have been spammed before coming to Wealthy Affilaite.
This is meant to be not just a learning platform but also a place to be away from spam of any kind.
Please take some serious time reading Kyle's post on this particulary lesson 6 which relates to Spam is a no no.

Yes some will leave their links in a post but I have also seen some members who have been here for a while still have their website links in their profiles.
So if you are one of them take it out and like everyone else follow the rules just because some may be ambassadors or anywhere in the ranking within or outside the 200 doesn't mean you are allowed to break the rules.
Regardless of what your ranking is or how popular you may be with some of the members.
In summary
There is a place on the right hand side under your profile name at the bottom to place any social media sites you are associated with along with your website name(s).
This the only place you can place your website or social media site but do not show any links on live chat or ask others to follow or click the link.
Also do not ask members to PM you so you can provide a link to something you are part of. That is also wrong and is known as spamming.
If you have a product or service that you feel other members may benefit from by all means you can state that site on the post but best with no hyperlinks and make sure there are no affiliate links attached there are ways to find out
Final Word
To your success.

There a lot of companies that allow these form of spamming and there are many who comes here think is ok.
I got a few members spam me via pm and I simply remind them about the rules here at Wealthy Affiliate and they went on there way.
Is good to post these things that others would know that is not acceptable here at WA. Keep it up.
Hi David
Thank you for your comment and I agree if fact I check a site of one of these members and it gave me a warning not to proceed so I check in incognito mode and indeed this catalog site has been known to spam.
Wishing you well along your journey here

I haven't experienced spam in WA in recent times. But, I did have that experience a few times through PMs when I was a reasonably new WA member. It is very off-putting for new members, especially if they are relevantly new to working online.
A good reminder Andre, to those who are active spammers.
Thank you.
Hey Valerie great to hear from you. Hope all is going forward.
Yes every now and then a reminder is needed to kept these ones in check.
Thank you :)
Andre
Thanks Reyhana fortunately many members are on to this. That why this is one of the reasons this is such a great community to be part of.
Andre
Absolutely agree, Andre. I caught one today and reported it immediately. :) You can tell when it's a newbie who's just trying to get help or feedback.
The one I reported was 100%, pure spam and promotion through and through!
Yes some can be a case of simple innocents but most are not and push the limits. I have had a few lately as have some others. Hopefully they will learn the lessons and continue being wonderful members if not they won't be here long.
Thanks for that
Stay awesome
Andre
hi Andre -- agree -- absolutely! ... WA is a spam-free zone! and let's keep it that way !
p.s. seems it's a bit of a challenge to have everyone informed ... i also blogged about this issue Nov.1 ... thanks kindly.... :)
Thanks Keiha unfortunately as everyone is open to join as a free starter, this will continue to get some pushing their luck.
But on the good side, many of us can see their bad intentions a mile away and are ready to take action when or where needed for the right reasons that is to be spam free
Others just need to be reminded
Thanks for your visit and comment Keisha :)

Great post-Andre
We definitely need to keep WA spam free.
We certainly do Rob yesterday had a gambling site promoting themselves but fortunately, their post got taken quickly either by them or powers to be.
Have a great week ahead
Andre
