If you disagree with a person's opinion, disagree and provide supporting facts why you disagree. Refrain from claiming that the other individual's opinion is "wrong."

Any comment made containing language that includes, but is not limited to, racially or ethnically charged wording, personal attacks, profanity, insults, badgering of others, "baiting" (comments with no foundation and sole purpose of provoking conflict) as determined by the CPS Directors or moderators is expressly forbidden and when recognized will be removed from the site. Additionally, any comments needing to be edited or removed by the CPS Team in order to comply with the Terms of Use will be done without prior notification to the original author.
5. Promoting/Advertisement Guidelines - The following policy/restrictions are strictly enforced to all vendors who sell/trade/barter/give-away products and services to other individuals. This policy applies to all aspects of www.cpsdj.com and www.computerdjsummit.com, CPS Learning Center, FAQ, links, live chats, and personal signatures:
5-a. Non-supporting vendors are limited to the following level of self-promotion only: Non-supporting vendors may promote their products or services with one (1) non-editable web site link and description in the http://www.computerdjsummit.com/directory/index.php Industry Link community. Non-supporting vendors may submit news/press releases to be included in the http://www.computerdjsummit.com/pressrelease.htm Press Release area, however, non-supporting vendors have no guarantee that submitted promotional announcements will be included. Non-supporting vendors may support their product when specific questions are asked in the CPS Learning Center area, including defending products or company merits. As noted above, this applies to signatures used in posts as well. Non-supporting vendors are prohibited from displaying any form of a banner, website links, graphic website links, or slogans that promote their products or services or the incorporating users as spokespersons to do so indirectly within the Learning Center area.
5-b. Current advertisers and Key Club promoters (all known as Official Sponsors) of www.cpsdj.com and www.computerdjsummit.com will be given additional room to promote their services and products per their selected promotional package. Official Sponsors cannot contribute blatant advertisements within the CPS Learning Center area. All vendor participation within the CPS Learning Center area must be of educational value, and not just simply a "buy from me" or “look at me” type of post as determined by our team.
Official Sponsors are allowed to have small promotional signatures including the official CPS KEY CLUB graphic supplied to Official Sponsors. This differentiation is because Official Sponsors of this program are paying for this privilege to communicate directly to our certified and non-members.
(Example signature of Official Sponsors. Note that the sponsor's logo will be in key.)

5-c. Vendors are permitted to clarify issues of misinformation by issuing a “Statement of Fact.” Any subsequent replies or continued conversation must be relevant and factual.

5-d. All non-vendor announcements for equipment FOR SALE/TRADE/WANTED by e-ticket members shall only be posted in the “Marketplace” area.
