Rules for the Service Reviews and Beta Testers Help Wanted Section

This section is intended for members seeking other members to review an
upcoming service or product for sale and/or for those seeking beta
testers for a new product. This is the only appropriate section for such
requests going forward.


This section is open to all members and is completely free to post. Threads here are moderated by the staff for rules compliance before being publicly viewable.


This section is free to list but carries a few section-specific rules that need to be follow carefully:


You should:
- Post here if you're seeking members to take pre-sale review copies of your product or service.
- Post here if you're seeking beta testers for an upcoming
service/product and you do NOT require any investment and/or fees to be
in your beta group (must be free).
- Use predefined criteria in your request so you attract
member-reviewers who best meet your requirements (ex. must have 100
posts, be a member for 6 months or SuperVIP etc).


You should NOT:
- Use this section to attempt to circumvent the Buy/Sell/Trade rules and requirements in any way.
- Post convoluted descriptions, feature lists, or screenshots of your
products or services in an attempt to make direct sales from this
section.
- Include links in your post to off-site forms to collect user's
information, email opt-ins, or any other mechanism used to harvest user
information prior to having an approved sales thread.
- Up-sell services to any member following any type of "free trial" or grace period.
Threads must comply with the above rules in addition to the general forum rules and TOS.


Best Practices:
Use [BETA TESTERS] or [REVIEWERS] tags in your thread title.
No bumping.
Don't post veiled advertisements.
No requests for fake/purchased reviews.
List any member criteria, system requirements, or work involved up front
so all parties have a clear understanding of what is required.
