Those who are learning through the Bootcamp to promote WA could add the guidelines to the welcome messages that new starters receive on signing up.
These messages allow you to not only welcome the new starter but also advise them how to set up their profile and to give them details of how to contact you should they need help.
The messages are located to the left in the menu column under Affiliate Program:
Click on the $ WA Affiliate Program tab and it will take you into the Affiliate program resources.
As you can see in the picture above there are five different messages available to welcome, follow up and congratulate members.
These messages can be edited to your own preferences. The welcome message and the Follow-up (Account Setup Complete) already have predefined messages included.
However, you can amend these to your own preferences by clicking on the edit button or new message buttons at the side of each item.
I suggest adding a link to the guidelines in the first two messages to enable new WA beginners to read the guidelines and to become familiar with how WA works.
This, in my opinion, will reduce confusion about what can and cannot be done on the WA platform from the start.
Here is a link to the WA Guidelines to use in your messages:

Great writing here and I'm so sorry I didn't notice the rest of your blogs you had written.
Thank you for this heads up.
Larry
Hope to talk to again soon
There are some other things in here that are No-No's. I was surprised one day, when I offered my email address to another member on here - or vice-versa, I don't remember now, but a member pulled me aside and told me this was not cool.
He showed me the place where this is discussed. (I would have to look it up now) which was in a blog post by Kyle. The post has to do with solicitation on the Platform and I didn't think the language referred to communicating with each other outside of the Platform, but when I contacted Kyle about it, he said that it does indeed mean what it says.
Having communications between members outside of the Platform is discouraged.
One would never know this unless he/she goes about doing the offence, and if someone notices and knows about this stipulation, may be approached.
Having the guidelines close to hand can make people think before they do something that will get them into trouble.
It still is sometimes unclear in the guidelines what is permissible, but as that member did for you, it is best to gently warn someone of their mistake so that they can learn and rectify the error.
Asking more questions, through Kyle and Carson, is also good advice.
Lis.
