How Do I Edit or Remove My Message Board Post
Send a message to jacob.rieskamp@stmediagroup.com, including the name of the message board in which your message appears, the message subject and its URL. (Back to top)

How Do I Edit or Remove Someone Else's Message Board Post?
Same as above. (Back to top)

Why Does Someone (Keep) Removing My Post(s)?
We remove posts for any number of reasons. Commercial solicitations, web site announcements, ongoing sales promotion and geurilla marketing do not belong on any message boards except in the For Sale Classifieds. For Sale Classifieds are for the sale of used, excess and spot inventory items and equipment, not for ongoing promotion by sign product distributors, or original equipment manufacturers. We also remove posts we find off-topic, gratuitous, offensive, irrelevant, rude and/or profane. (Back to top)

My Post Was None of Those! I Demand You Reinstate It!
Well, that's a problem. First off, if we erred removing your post, please accept our apology. Sometimes we make mistakes; sometimes we disagree about the appropriateness of a post. It is not our intent to act as SignWeb librarian "sshhing" people, however, we want to maintain a positive, collegial environment where everyone feels able to contribute without fear of reprisals and name calling. Opposing an opinion gives one the right to attack the idea, not the individual. Second, we do not keep an archive of deleted posts. Chances are, once it's gone, it's gone. (Back to top)

I See an Ad for My Competitor in Signweb. How Do I Put My Company There?
There are various advertising services available in SignWeb, and they are outlined in the Advertise section of the site, which is accessible from the main navigation bar on every page. (Back to top)

How Do I Contact SignWeb?
Please be sure you question is not answered here first. If not, click here for more information. Keep in mind that we make every effort to post everything we know about signmaking on the site. If you can't find it in the site, there is a fantastic chance that we don't know.
