Welcome to the wickedry!
Seems to be some confusion about the intent of our introductory forums, so let's clarify since staff spends an inordinate amount of time editing, removing, relocating, and/or closing threads in violation.
Welcome Wagon (WW) forums are NOT intended for advertising or seeking services, but are great for "kicking off" your new adventure in our community and letting everyone know you're here!
NEW-to-OH2 members may introduce themselves in their local/home-base WW forums ONCE only, not repeatedly and not in multiple cities, and within a reasonable time period after registering.
Incoming providers ARE allowed to include pics and initial info about their rates and services in their local WW posts. (Please be advised that H2 does not HOST explicit imagery, however, so do not upload graphic intimate activity pics to our database.) Agencies may also introduce NEW ladies joining their ranks ONCE.
Minimal thread "bumps" are allowed by original posters to add NEW data not previously shared, but again, be aware that WWs are not meant for continual advertising. Only Verified Companions may post ads in designated marketing forums. (The validation process is also posted in WWs throughout the site.)
Additionally, new members may introduce themselves in the national WW area ONCE.
After the one inaugural announcement thread and while awaiting verification, new companions may respond to requests/ISOs within rules and make general comments (not advertise/solicit) in discussion forums to draw attention their way, and they may utilize their profiles, avatars, and signature lines to share rates, menu, location, and other data. Once a lusty lady becomes a Verified Companion, she should take advantage of the many regular ad forums and STOP any further promotional posting in the WW.
New fellows should post threads looking for companionship and vouches subsequent BCD visits in the local ISO (In Search Of) forum, as visibility/responses will be much better there than in the WW. Please expect to be screened for ladies' safety.
Verified traveling/visiting companions, you ALSO should be using the regular ad sections to inform members of your tour stops/availability in various regions, NOT the WW forums.
H2 has plenty of appropriate promotional space set aside for daily and weekend marketing by companions following verification. Guidelines breaking down ad opportunities are stickied in many WWs of busy Hobby regions, and rules are usually posted in individual ad forums, so please check before submitting carnal commercials.
Lads and lassies, let me emphasize that WW forums aren't review, speculation, discussion, opinion, or specific request sections. Let's leave assessment reports/debates/personal viewpoints/queries for the appropriate areas, please. Established participants should please let new members introduce themselves as THEY deem fitting and without critique. Remember that this is the first place most will post, so let's make newbies feel like H2 is a comfortable and inviting place to play! Okie dokie?
Be advised that repeat offenses in the WW are subject to removal/closure and will incur penalties, and may also result in restricted posting access for repetitive abuse.
Much appreciation for your cooperation. Now go have some FUN! -- FIH/staff
