These guidelines apply to all Autodesk dealers, developers, and customers. This file is in ASCII format and can be downloaded or read online…. ========================================================== This file contains the following…. ========================================================== Autodesk CompuServe Forums Advertising Guidelines Introduction CompuServe generally prohibits advertising on public forums, but because much of the utility of AutoCAD and 3D Studio derives from third party applications and device drivers, we choose to allow some forms of advertising on the AutoCAD and Multimedia Forums. By allowing advertising in certain forms, we provide developers the opportunity to discuss technical aspects of their products and to suggest solutions for problems encountered by forum members. This document details the forum advertising guidelines. Device Driver and Application Developer Advertising In forum messages, driver and applications developers may: – discuss product features, – provide name, address, and telephone number where forum members may obtain price and ordering information, or ask that members contact the developer through CompuServe Mail for that information. We ask that developers not: – post pricing information in forum messages – directly solicit sales on the forum Developers may post official press releases in the message area of the forum, but we ask that you delete mention of pricing from them. Press releases and other announcements posted as files in the forum libraries may contain pricing information. Dealer Advertising Dealers may not solicit sales or advertise software or hardware for sale. If a forum member inquires about buying an Autodesk product that is distributed through the dealer channel, a dealer whose territory includes the inquirerAs location may offer a telephone number or CompuServe ID and ask that the member contact the dealer privately for further information. Forum Member Advertising Forum members who are not dealers or developers may advertise used hardware and software for sale in the Take 5/Want Ads message section of the forum. They may also post files listing equipment for sale in the Take 5/Want Ads library area.
