Why choosing to become a registered Member?

POSTING GUIDELINES for JOBS

PLEASE NOTE: any posting that offers employment is considered to be a job posting,
and should therefore be submitted by selecting "jobs" during the posting process.

• All job ads must offer monetary compensation -- no unpaid internships, barters, deferred pay, etc.
• Please do not post the same job description to multiple categories or cities.
• Job posters are responsible for compliance with applicable local, state, and federal employment law, including discrimination law.

GENERAL POSTING GUIDELINES

How can I edit my posting?

Edits for postings are self-service. Use the link provided in the same self-posting email you used originally to self-post. If you can't find this, try having it re-sent.
Note: Editing your post will not bring it to the top of the list. You'll need to post a new listing for that (please, no more often than every 48 hours).

How long does my posting stay on the site?

Free Posting: 30 days (Seeking a Job: 180 days)
Optional featured post or extension time are also available.

How can I delete my posting?

Use the same link provided in the self-posting email that you used to post the ad originally. If you can't find this, try having it re-sent. Please note, all postings are automatically deleted upon expiration.

How do I repost my posting?

You'll need to submit a new posting. We CAN NOT repost a free listing for you.

How often can I post?

You may post to one category and in one city, no more often than about every 48 hours.
If you are submitting a post that is similar to another currently active post of yours on the site, you will get a blocked message. Removing the active post will allow you to post the new ad, unless the active post is less than 48 hours old. If you've lost the email that allows you to manage/remove your post, you can have it resent.

How can I post anonymously and still receive responses?

When submitting a posting, you are asked to provide your email address.
We've provided three options for you under this field:

Selecting the last two options will guarantee anonymity, but only the second option allows you to receive emails.

I have not received the email to self-publish my free posting, what should I do?

If you have successfully submitted your posting, but have not received the email to self-publish your post:

• If you are using an online email account, please check your bulk email folder.
• You may have entered your email address incorrectly on the posting form -- it only takes one typo!
• Your email provider may be experiencing delays. This is especially prevalent these days for some of the free email providers.
  

You can always have your self-posting email re-sent.

I self-published my posting but I don't see it on the list?

For free postings it takes approximately 5 minutes from the time you self-publish the posting until it appears on the site. If your posting does not appear in the category where you posted it, try to REFRESH or RELOAD the page into your browser. The refresh/reload option is usually located along the top of your browser. If you do not see it there, try clicking the right button on your mouse. If you do not refresh/reload, due to the memory cache of your browser, you might not be seeing the most current version of the page and you will not see your posting.

Can I add a picture to my posting?

You will be offered the free option to add up to 4 Images to your posting during the posting process.
Picture must be 300 kb maximum and will be resized up to 600x600 px.

Can I add HTML tags or URLs in my posting?

No HTML allowed on your posting except about adding URL from the field into your post.

If you suspect that you are the target of a posting prank/harrassment, please contact us immediately, and ask to have the posting removed. Please have ready the posting title, category, and email address (if available).

What recourse do I have for a transaction gone wrong or a person/post that is not being honest?

If you feel you've been cheated in a transaction or that there is false advertising on the site, please let us know so we can look into it on the site, and so we can be prepared to provide whatever help we can to police and other investigators.

Can I post my ad on more than one Country or City?

Please choose just ONE list for which your ad is most relevant - this should generally be the site closest to where you are located. If your ad is equally relevant to all locations, your ad does not belong on a local ASOTN list at all, please find another service. Posting the same ad to multiple locations is considered spamming, and is prohibited.

I saw a posting that "hurt", and I want to say something about it - can I?

If you feel the need to give your opinion, please contact the poster directly via email.
Discussion postings belong ONLY in our discussion forums.

Where can I advertise my services/business on ASOTN?

Only in the "services offered" categories please.

Can I post ads on ASOTN on behalf of others as a paid posting agent or posting service?

Absolutely not - acting as a Posting Agent is forbidden by our terms of use.

Can I put a link in my for sale posting pointing to an auction site like ebay?

No - ASOTN is not an auction site. If you have something to offer, please post a set price. Please do not scalp or solicit bidding contests on ASOTN, and do not link to offsite auctions on eBay or elsewhere.

Can I scalp my ticket or other gift item (e.g. PS3, TMX Elmo, Wii, iPhone) on ASOTN?

Many users dislike, and will remove by flagging ads which appear to be scalping tickets or hot gift items for way over face value.
