SL4B ?

You probably shouldn't assume that everyone knows what you are talking about. What is SL4B? Second Lifers 4 Beer? Kelly Linden 13:56, 23 March 2007 (PDT)

Good point. I'll correct it momentarily.

Policy on Promotion

No advertising, promotion or touting of for-profit ventures on the Birthday Site

Community and cultural events may promote the heck out of themselves, and their businesses and for-profit ventures - on their own sites, or in collaboration with other community and cultural events.

The SL4B Site, however, will not promote or advertise any for-profit venture. If we do even one, every casino and mall in SL will want an equal billing, and we just can't do that.

FAQ

Clarification on Advertising rule please. Does this mean that if I wear a T-Shirt with a corporate name on it I will be kicked out?" --Simon lameth 12:47, 5 Jun 2006 (EDT)

No. Party attendees may function within the limits of the TOS/CS. Though Welcome Area Guidelines will apply:

1. No shooting, blood or violence.
2. No buying, selling, begging or recruiting.
3. No sex, nudity or offensive language.
4. No annoying, repetitive or adult (M) sounds.

I don't see the wearing of branded materials being a problem. That's a self-expression item, and perfectly acceptable, in my opinion." --Tateru 17:33, 5 Jun 2006 (EDT)
