  1. Suppliers cannot advertise their services, products or company details in any posts.

  3. We only want to receive recommendations of products or services from sign makers who have used or are aware of the product/service in question, not from suppliers.

More description is required, for example: “I need a font” or “Font Identity please?” This is to make browsing the forums easier and more enjoyable for all visitors.
