Commercial Use of the TAMB

1. This core purpose of this message board is to allow members of the Tartan Army to come together on the internet to swap information, ideas and banter. Non Tartan Army users of the board are welcome as long as they observe the rules and join in with the spirit of the board.

2. The board is NOT here for the free use of any individuals or companies to use as part of their commercial activities. But anyone with commercial interests relevant to the Tartan Army MAY use the board to bring their services to the attention of board users in accordance with the general TAMB policy on Travel Offers and Advertisements posted at the top of each travel forum. Please refer to these pinned posts for full text.

All commercial use of the board should be limited to a simple outline of what is being offered with details of websites, e-mail addresses and/or telephone numbers to enable board users to make direct contact with the company. Bookings and queries should be carried out by private contact between individuals and the company - not on the board.

Extract from guidance - "multiple threads about the same trip will be merged"

Where companies, individuals and groups have organised a particular trip or are providing services around a particular fixture, all information should be posted in a single thread. This is intended to allow all information to be brought to members attention in one place, but also intended to ensure other discussions/threads aren't unfairly shunted down the board.

Extract from guidance - "If numbers continue to rise we may restrict travel offers to a list of contact details and brief outline"

Where we consider commercial use of the board to go beyond the spirit of our guidelines we may limit postings to only a brief outline and contact details as stated. This will apply to all companies, individuals and groups posting details of any travel services they are organising, promoting or selling on the board.

Note: we may from time to time revise our position on any of the above if future events on the board highlight additional unforeseen problems.
