 **Do Not Post Restricted or Copyrighted Materials:** Do not post content that violates a copyright. Do not post content that is restricted to a certain study or teaching level.
-**Avoid Self-Advertising and SPAM:** Do not abuse promoting your own business and products, especially if they are not related to the teachings of Shambhala (extensive advertising). Do not post irrelevant or repetitive messages (spam) in world-wide groups or a large number of groups.
+**Avoid Repetitive Advertisements, Self-Advertising and SPAM:** Do not exhaust subscribers by posting advertisements again and again.  The same announcement multiple times looks like SPAM to the many people who subscribe to the Shambhala Network via a digest.  Do not sell your own business or products, or offerings that are not related to the teachings of Shambhala. Avoid any post that your readers may regard as SPAM.
 **Scrutinize the sources of information you share**: Posting misinformation can be quite harmful to others, and the consequences can be especially serious with regards to medical or political topics, or about emerging crises. Consider consulting multiple sources that are widely respected, peer-reviewed, and are themselves properly sourced. Ask whether your sources might be motivated to distort evidenced-based findings.
