About FAQPAL
FAQPAL, launched in 2008 originally as an article database, one with dozens of categories ranging from tech to lifestyle and home improvement. Soon after launching we realized this was not the direction we wanted to take the site, and quickly took the site down and began to revamp the vision and direction that FAQPAL was to take. Early 2009 the current FAQPAL launched, though we have since changed the layout, colors and logo.
However, they MUST fit into one of the categories listed to the right. ANY submissions that links to a top level domain will be considered SPAM until verified by a moderator.
Moderation. We firmly believe that ALL sites of this nature require a strict submission policy, ours is simple, if your submission doesn't fit into one of the categories located on the right, it doesn't belong in our database. That doesn't mean your post or resource isn't valuable, it just means it isn't targeted for our audience.
SPAM. Like you we hate SPAM! We moderate ALL submissions throughout the day and moderators determine if each submission is legit or if it is actually SPAM. If any submission is deemed SPAM it is immediately removed. If a domain submits more than 1 (one) SPAM submission, that domain is also banned from posting any future submissions. This is at the discretion of the moderator. Examples of SPAM are:
If your domain has been banned from our site, it is possible to have it lifted, you will need to contact the senior FAQPAL admin and explain why you should be reincluded and given submission privledges.
Submission Edits. Moderators at FAQPAL have the right and ability to edit ANY and ALL submissions that violate ANY of our rules. This includes but not limited to incorrect category, keywords and/or title. You are also able to edit your submission once submitted. Moderators will correct submissions, however, if they are required to correct submissions from a single user on a continual basis, that user will be banned from submitting. While you are permitted to change your submission details, it will still be subject to our moderation guidelines.
Commenting For the time being FAQPAL permits comments on each submission, they are subject to moderation as well. While we have taken steps to ensure all links posted in each comment are not clickable, we will still be deleting comments that are SPAM. As you can imagine this is a daunting task and will eventually be a feature we will look to remove fromt he site.
Hate speech such as racism or sexism will NOT be tolerated on our site and you WILL be banned for such language.
If someone is trying to engage in confrontational actions via comments, thumb their comment down and/or contact us instead of trying to fight back.
