    ADVERTISING

    This site is free from advertising. Posts on any board considered to be advertising goods, services and/or companies will be removed.

    Examples of this can include anything from a specific sales post or a link to your own website in which you attempt to sell something to someone offering their holiday home to forum members. Unfortunately we cannot allow any advertising of any description no matter how honourable the intention.

    This includes the Referrals Board (see below).

    If you think you have a genuinely good deal please contact a Board Guide for the board you’d like to post it on. If they agree with you they’ll contact the MSE Team and it will be considered. Any final decision will be that of the MSE Team. Please do not question the response with the Board Guide.

    The link leads to a 'future competitions' comp.

    Direct link >>> https://www.futurecompetitions.com/PCP276Y/Default.asp?
