Our site-wide guidelines allow you to advertise on your LCPDFR.com profile page (e.g. "About Me" and profile links) as well as your forums signature. These are the only places on LCPDFR.com where advertising is permitted.
File descriptions are not included here, but our lax enforcement on this in the past has left people confused on what is, and isn't acceptable. This Wiki post seeks to clarify these guidelines and our enforcement of them going forward.
In general, per our Community Guidelines, self promotion is allowed in your file descriptions, but it must be relevant to your file:
- Your file description cannot contain any explicit advertising or solicitation for services, custom orders or other paid content. We consider this advertising.
- Your file description and screenshots cannot display any content which is paid for or only available on a non-free platform. We consider this advertising.
- You can include links which are relevant - for example, a Discord server for support, or a donation link/platform/programme (e.g. Patreon or PayPal). You can also include links to personal website or platform provided it is not solely for the purpose of selling or promoting services. We consider this self promotion.
- Any self promotion cannot be longer than the description of the file itself and cannot be the main focus of the file description. The majority of your file description should be concentrated on the file. Basically, keep it tasteful and don't overdo it. If you cannot do this or are uncertain of this, you can instead omit any file description self promotion and instead use our Creator Settings to add a Patreon or PayPal button to all your files.
Thank you sincerely for your compliance with these guidelines.
