[GET] IMPORTANT : New WSO Rules (since 2014-12-29)
Link:
Magic Button : Download for reference : Magic Button : Introduction: The WSO section is a marketplace for high quality Internet Marketing products. Sellers have purchased these threads as advertisements for their products and services. While the WSO forum offers great deals and Internet Marketing products, buyers should exercise common sense when considering purchasing a product or service. At any time, buyers and sellers may report any post or offer within the WSO section to Warrior Forum moderators to investigate. This can be done with the red triangle on the lower left side of each post or via the Warrior Forum support desk, located at support.freelancer.com When browsing through offers, buyers should be aware that Warrior Payments is the only platform that is endorsed and supported by the Warrior Forum. For details about Warrior Payments, please visit payments.warriorforum.com All WSO rules and the approval of each WSO is subject to moderator’s discretion. If a moderator deems that a particular offer is not appropriate for the WSO Marketplace, the offer will be rejected. All listing and bump fees are final. If a seller acts outside of these WSO rules, no refunds for any payments made to Warrior Forum will be offered. The onus is on the seller to abide by these rules and to ensure their offer aligns with all rules. WSO Seller Rules Rule #1: Special and Exclusive Offers Only To post your offer in the Warrior Special Offers Marketplace, your offer must be a special offer or deal available exclusively on the Warrior Forum. The offer cannot be readily available to the public via another distribution platform. Examples of Warrior Special Offers include special pricing, exclusive bonuses or a product that is not available elsewhere. The special offer must be of significant value. All offers will be reviewed prior to approval to ensure Warriors receive special offers. This also applies to the offered bonuses. Adding a MRR/PLR/RR product as a bonus does not make it a Warrior Special Offer. If your offer is not a Warrior Special Offer, this should be posted in the appropriate subsection of the forum, such as Warrior Classified Ads. Existing WSO’s that are not a special offer will be moved to the appropriate subsection of the forum. Rule #2: Compliance with Law and Rules All WSOs must comply with forum rules, the laws of Australia and the laws of your geographic location. Sellers must comply with all legal requirements for advertising, both under the laws of Australia and the country in which you live or predominantly reside. Legal compliance is strictly your responsibility as the seller of the product. Rule #3: Free Offers If your offer is free, then this is to be posted in the Warrior Forum Classified Ads sub-forum. Rule #4: Service Offers If you are offering a service, then this is to be posted in Warriors for Hire. This includes SEO, design, web development and writing services. Rule #5: WSO Approval Policy The following are examples of products that are not permitted to be sold as a WSO: - Mass Account Creators - E-Mail Harvesters - Lead Scrapers - Cookie Stuffing Scripts - Mass Automation Tools - SEO Spam Tools - Blog Commenting Tools - Wiki Poster Tools - Spamming Tools - Automation Bots - Forum Posting Tools - Classified Ad Posters If your WSO is any of the above, your offer will not be approved. Rule #6: Moderation and Approval Time Warrior Forum moderators must approve any offer prior to it being sold on the Warrior Forum. If your thread is approved, you will receive a private message from a moderator advising your thread is ready to be published with further instructions to post your offer. If your thread is not approved, you will receive a private message from a moderator advising that your thread has been rejected. If your thread is rejected, you are encouraged to thoroughly read through the WSO Rules posted here and align your offer with these rules. Once this is done, you may resubmit a revised listing thread. All submissions will generally be reviewed within 48 hours. If your submission has not been approved within 48 hours, you may contact the Warrior Forum Help Desk along with your username and thread title. Rule #7: Seller Support Sellers must give customers a reliable, common way for buyers to make contact that does not depend on the forum, such as a support email address, support desk etc. This should be placed within the first or second post of your offer. Sellers should set clear expectations in terms of what support is offered for the WSO. Rule #8: Deceptive Conduct Deceptive conduct and outright scams will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Please note that buyers are encouraged to report any such behavior immediately. Rule #9: No Wild Characters in Titles Wild characters, Asterisks, HTML and ASCII art are not permitted in WSO titles. Rule #10: Paid Testimonials Under no circumstances are sellers permitted to use testimonials from anyone who has, or will, receive payment, commission, incentive or advantage for their review. All testimonials must be unsolicited. If review copies are offered the review should clearly state this. Rule #11: Bonus in Exchange for Review Sellers must not offer payment, commission, incentive or advantage in exchange for reviews. For instance, sellers cannot offer a bonus report that is only given to people who leave a review. Rule #12: Off-Site Reviews Sellers must not link to off-site reviews or review videos from within a WSO thread. Rule #13: Selling Email Lists and Leads Sellers must not sell, trade or give out the email addresses of their WSO customers. Rule #14: Spamming and Unsolicited Bulk Mail You may not sell any product here that endorses, enables, or facilitates the sending of unsolicited bulk messages via email, private messaging systems, or other channels meant for one-to-one communication, or the spamming of forums, blogs, chat systems, or social networking sites. Rule #15: Significantly Similar offers are not permitted Sellers are not permitted to have significantly similar offers in any section of the forum. Duplicate threads will not be approved. Existing duplicate threads will be deleted. If an existing offer appears to be significantly similar to your new offer, sellers may be required to explain product uniqueness to staff moderators before the offer is approved. Rule #16: Buy Buttons Must Be Present To sell a WSO in the WSO Section of the forum, your offer must have a Buy Button that takes the user to a checkout. This link cannot take the user to your website, an order form or an opt-in page. This rule applies to the main WSO Marketplace. Rule #17: Income Claims and Guarantees Sellers are not to make claims around income that has been made unless this income can be verified through Warrior Payments. Sellers are not permitted to make claims about or imply that income will result from purchasing a WSO. This will be strictly enforced to protect the Warrior community. This is applicable to the WSO Marketplace and all sub-forums. Rule #18: Forced email opt ins Sellers are not to force email opt ins from customers to gain access to their product. While you are allowed to request the customer to subscribe to your mailing list, this should not be the only way the customer may gain access to your product or service. This rule applies to the main WSO Marketplace. Rule #19: Etiquette Sellers may not harass, personally attack, blackmail, spam or bully buyers and/or other Warrior Forum members. Rule #20: No Blind Ads Sellers must not post blind ads. This is an ad where you advise what the product is not rather than what it is. Your product should be clearly understood by both moderators and members. Rule #21: Guarantees / Policies It is not required to offer guarantees or refunds for your WSO. If you do offer a guarantee or money back guarantee, this needs to be clearly explained in the first or second post in your WSO thread. Rule #22: Offers on First Page Sellers may only have 3 threads on the first page of the WSO Marketplace and applicable sub-forums. Sellers are permitted to have 4th offer on the first page if it is listed as a Sticky thread. All offers must be unique. Applicable marketplaces: WSO Marketplace, Warriors for Hire, Warrior Classified Ads. Rule #23: Warrior Forum trademark Sellers are not permitted to use the Warrior Forum logo, branding or name in their sales copy. The name of your product should not imply that the product is affiliated with the Warrior Forum in any way. Examples include using the Warrior Forum logo in sales copy or including the word "Warrior" in the product title. Rule #24: When you can bump In all sections of the WSO Marketplace, you may only bump your thread after it drops off page 1. Preparing your WSO to be Published Specifications for Posting a Warrior Special Offer (WSO): Detailed instructions for creating a WSO can be found here: payments.warriorforum.com/help/offer 1. To format your Thread you need to use BBCode.

The Preview function can be accessed in the final stage of the Create A WSO process. 2. Give people as much info as they will need to make an informed decision about your product. 3. Warriors have used this section of the forum to launch 6 and 7 figure businesses. Treat your buyers well, provide exceptional value and buyers will reward you with loyalty and positive reviews. 4. Become a contributing member and establish your reputation before trying to post a WSO. Pricing All listing, bump and sticky fees are final and non-refundable. This includes if your WSO listing is removed from sale. Payment For WSO Threads and Bumps: WSO Listing Fee - $20 WSO Bump Fee- $19.95 Payment for Sticky: WSO Marketplace - $200 Complete Web Sites for Sale - $100 Warrior For Hire - $100 Web Hosting Offers - $100 Warrior Forum Classified Ads - $100 Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You - $100 Affiliate Program Database - $100 Buyers: WSO Rules Rule #1: Asking for Review Copies Unless the seller explicitly offers review copies in the thread, do not ask for review copies. Sellers who receive private messages or thread replies requesting review copies are encouraged to report the message to the moderators. Rule #2: Reporting Fraudulent or Misleading Offers If the seller fails to deliver the product or service as advertised, or does not honor a posted refund policy, please report the problem using the Report tool or contact the Helpdesk. In your report, include enough details to allow them to look into the claim properly, including the thread Url and the seller’s username. To report a problem, use the red triangle to the lower left of the post you're reporting. Fill in the necessary information and submit the form. Please keep in mind that investigating a claim requires time and multiple reports should not be submitted. The forum is not part of the transaction between a buyer and seller. We have no ability to force a refund or any other action by a third party. We are limited to reducing or removing access by parties we believe may be acting improperly or who violate the forum or WSO rules as described here. Rule #3: Resolving Issues Buyers should attempt to resolve any issues with sellers privately so the seller has the opportunity to fix any issues. Should the issue remain unresolved, buyers may report the problem or offer for moderators to investigate. Buyers should be aware that if you have purchased an offer, you may also review the product or service in the seller’s thread. Rule #4: Reviewing a WSO You may post 1 honest review for any WSO that you have purchased. Reviews should be factual and not misleading in any way. If the product you purchased was sold via Warrior Payments, you can honestly review the product from within both Warrior Payments and also on the seller’s thread. Review guidelines: - If you are an affiliate, or received a review copy of a product, you must state this when posting a review of the product. - Do not debate the sales process. If you believe something is deceptive, then report this to the moderators. - You may list the OTOs associated with a product as a part of your review, once you've purchased the initial offer. Do not argue about them, or make statements beyond the list of what is offered. The seller decides his or her own sales process. You decide if you wish to buy what's offered. - Multiple reviews within a sales thread are not tolerated. - Reviews must be of the product, not the seller nor the seller’s previous products. - Personal attacks, name calling, and unproven accusations are not tolerated. While buyers are encouraged to review products and services, buyers must follow these guidelines. Rule #5: Refunds While many WSO’s are digital products and services, buyers are not automatically entitled to a refund if they are unhappy with the product or service. If the seller offers a refund period as part of their offer, this will appear on the sales page or in the FAQ of their offer. If there are no mentions of a Refund Policy, buyers should assume all sales are final and no refunds are offered. If you wish to request a refund from the seller, you should contact the seller privately - either through a private message or via the seller’s external support channel. Requests for refunds should only be made on the seller’s thread if you do not receive a response from the seller within 2 business days. Keep in mind, sellers may be in a different time zone to you. If a seller fails to honor a posted refund policy, please report the offer to the moderators. Rule #6: Etiquette Buyers are entitled to ask questions and post 1 honest review within the WSO thread for products they have purchased. However, Warrior Forum members are not to engage in running feuds. This applies to both buyers and sellers. Buyers may not harass, blackmail, personally attack, spam or bully sellers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WSO Seller Rules Rule #17: Income Claims and Guarantees Sellers are not to make claims around income that has been made unless this income can be verified through Warrior Payments. Sellers are not permitted to make claims about or imply that income will result from purchasing a WSO. "Make more than $1,248.26 per month" type of shi*tty WSOs are no longer permitted ! ![[Image: 670389desismileys4586.gif]](http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/670389desismileys4586.gif)

RE: [GET] IMPORTANT : New WSO Rules (since 2014-12-29)
Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the community here on BBHF.
While I don't necessarily agree with some of the rules, I do believe overall tha this is a good move in general because it should halt the false claims, buddy back-slapping and other shenanigans that seemed to have become the norm over at the WF. The ridiculous income claims, the vague product descriptions e.g. "this has nothing to do with [fill-in-the-blank]" etc. The fake screenshots, the low-priced, zero-value offers that get 'raving reviews' from total twats who have never even seen or used the products, the newbies who don't have any real world experience and claim to be able to deliver the world so you can make "MILLIONS" if you buy their $7.87 product that has over $2,000 worth of bonuses... ...and don't even get me started on the mere misuse of the word "OFFLINE!!!" - It seems every other product produced contains that word in an attempt to lure people into buying crap. Sure, people should use their common sense but I at times empathize with people who are trully seeking to make ends meet or create a better future for themselves and their family, only to get duped and misled by some wanker over at the WF. I creating and selling WSOs because it was just not worth it anymore, maybe I'll reconsider starting again and if I do I'll share my products here (WSO's can maker you rich is my opinion but they can start you on a good road to regular income, so why not). Classified Ads Section Did I read it right that if you want to offer something for free you need to post it in the Classified Ads and you've got to fork out $100? Someone with a better grasp of English please read and tell me it's not so  (01-16-2015 09:38 AM)aminoacid Wrote: Link: |

Reps given for taking the time to help clarify the WSO rule I wasn't clear about.
Thanks. (01-16-2015 04:16 PM)aminoacid Wrote:(01-16-2015 02:10 PM)WorldWarrior Wrote: Classified Ads Section It's a move in the right direction and will take time.

While I don't particularly like the idea it makes sense from a business perspective. After all, if you wanted to post something in the Classified Ads section of a newspaper and/or on many sites, you'd have to 'pay' for it, so why should a very active online forum be any different. The other things is that it now forces the product owner to consider very carefully whether to go the WSO route or the Classified Ads route. I'm thinking that more people will initially go the Classifieds route to test their idea (and also because it'll be easier to post there due to less requirements). If the free offering works, and they're serious about their business as opposed to being a 'dabbler peddling crap as a WSO' they'll probably then consider going for a full WSO. Service and value are the keywords in true business and like I mentioned in one of my earlier responses on this, I don't necessary agree with or like every move they made, but it actually is a good thing overall for you if you consider yourself to be a serious and honest marketer trying to earn money from sharing your knowledge, products or services.

RE:
I think the one that forces affiliates that post reviews on a WSO to identify themselves is the most important. More than half of all the reviews are from people that have sent their list a link, then they come on and act as shills.......
