• Include or create links or otherwise refer to external sites that violate these restrictions.

2. Spam Is Prohibited

You will not use our Products and Services to transmit or facilitate the transmission of any unsolicited bulk or commercial email ("Spam"), directly or indirectly. You will not post content: (i) in inappropriate categories (genres) (ii) with excessive frequency or (iii) with identical or substantially identical text or photography. You will not use unrelated words in content to skew search results.

Ebooklingo attracts people who are seeking authentic connections. Unsolicited, repetitive messages or plugs from other Ebooklingo members is unwanted and considered irritating. Behaviors that may trigger people in this community to flag you for spam are:

• Sending promotional, identical, or repeated messages or invitations to your network, products or services.
• Posting or publising identical content, comments and other types of content or media to Ebooklingo categories (genres) that are unrelated to the category (genre).

Spamming not only damages the experience of people receiving unsolicited messages, but it also damages your reputation in this community. Spamming reflects negatively on Ebooklingo's reputation as well. For all of these reasons, we take complaints about spam very seriously.

We value participation in this community and hope members will be able to abide by our spam policy. Ultimately, we here at Ebooklingo hope to see the strongest relationships and connections made on Ebooklingo when members truly get to know one another as individuals and focus less on overselling to one another and avoiding spamming altogether.

We look forward to seeing authentic participation and genuine relationship building on the site.

Such exceptions are allowed entirely at the discretion of Ebooklingo.
• Profile Headshot and Use of Company Logos: Each Member's profile contains a place for an image of the Member ("Member Headshot") that is duplicated on the public pages of the site to identify a Member. This image was intended for a photo of a person but may also contain the logo belonging to a business or any thing the member sees fit as long as it does not violate any of our Agreements. Notwithstanding, we may remove any image at our discretion and without notice from profiles we deem to be not in compliance with this policy.
