As some of your know, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has been
cracking down on disclosure of paid endorsements. Because of this, we
have to put some safeguards in place protect ourselves.
For information on these new guidelines: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm
We are asking you all to weigh on on the verbiage and make suggestions
if you feel changes need to be made.
The verbiage has already been added to the Forum Rules as is and will
be edited later if needed.
We have come up with the following verbiage:
"When recommending an extension or other product to help a user solve
their issue, you must disclose any affiliations you may have with the
company or group that authors that particular product. This includes,
but is not limited to: any paid or non-paid relationships past or
present, receiving any promotional products or services, or any other
similar information."
