Advertisements General

FishingTx.com has adopted an advertisement free zone policy for its members. This means that they will not be subjected to advertisements for Products or Services which have not been approved by FishingTx Administration. Often times a product or service may get mentioned in a post, for information purposes, that is acceptable.

Any direct solicitation, promotion, or re-directs to another site that is not posted in the appropriate area may cause the post to get edited, deleted, or the Authors IP banned from this site. The use of URL text links in signatures are not permitted unless express permission is granted by FishingTx Administration.

Generally speaking, posts made specifically for the promotion of a website, product or service are considered as advertising. We take that to mean that you have made a thread or post that unnecessarily sends people to a website in which you are in some way affiliated. It does not matter if it is a commercial website, a personal website, or a non-profit website, etc.

The use of URL text links in a post, for information purposes, is permitted.

If you are interested in advertising or utilizing this option, please contact FishingTx Administration with the details of what you would like to do and why.

All unauthorized advertising as described in this section will therefore be deleted in accordance with rules and regulations governing FishingTx.com.

Advertisements for Fishing Guides

We have a specific forum section where approved Fishing Guides may post descriptions about their Guide Service, including website addresses and connections to social sites where their Guide Service is listed. However, please understand that this service of having a listing in our Guide Services is not operated as a free advertisement for fishing guides.

If you are interested in advertising or utilizing this option, there will be an annual charge of one trip a year for staff.

Please contact us for details before posting any activities or threads about the guide service.
