1.1          Since our inception in July 2008, this forum has been transcended and evolved from a regular run-of-the-mill type of paid-to-post forum into a global hub for members to acquire knowledge, relish the intricacies of online investments, discuss and diagnose predominant issues, participate in fun-filled contests and foster camaraderie in a borderless society. As an attestation of our appreciation to our members for making this forum a thriving success, the management is constantly introducing new and innovative opportunities/concepts for the membership to earn.

1.2          We have been diligently allocating a majority of our income to channel back to our members, manifesting in the vast array of paid-to-post topics including paying members just to make friends. We are pleased to put on record that the disbursements of members’ earning have always been dispensed in a very expedient and timely manner although we observe a very stringent system of checks to ensure that only deserving members rightfully benefit while depriving the cheaters/violators from reaping the rewards.      

1.3         The members’ welfare/interest in this forum is our prime concern and we have been persistently striving to safeguard this forum from fraudsters including misrepresentation of facts propagated to deceive our members to invest in certain investment programs. We further envision a safe and secure environment here whereby members will have added security in the online remittance of funds, perform online exchanges and transactions. Our own security systems are also fortified to withstand possible ID theft and illegal intrusion.

1.4         One of the main functions of this forum is to serve as a responsible platform to disseminate moneymaking opportunities. We do not endorse or have any tangible interest whatsoever in any of the programs under the ‘earn from the net’ section listed by our members. We are wholly committed to filter out false/misleading information posted. The management should not be held liable and/or blamed in all eventualities stemming from the conduct of the aforesaid programs. Members are advised to probe thoroughly before joining or participating in any of the programs listed.

1.5         Being a responsible and impartial forum, we are also compelled to protect the interest of the programs introduced/listed by our members or advertised in the forum. When a member here complaints of improprieties committed by an online program, the member is required to provide irrefutable evidence to substantiate the claims including collaboration from other sources. Stern action shall be taken against the member if the member is found to be spreading falsehoods, distorted the facts of the matter or fabrication leading to the unjustified allegation. Appropriate action shall be taken against the online program if they have indeed defrauded our aggrieved member here, provided the complaints are proven to be justified or valid. The aforementioned procedural aspect is also applicable for complaints of improprieties committed by individual members of this forum.       

1.6         Membership in this forum is granted on the proviso that the management has the exclusive prerogative and indefeasible rights to reject, expel, suspend or impose restrictions on any member who is deemed a liability to this forum and/or for abusing the privileges accorded to membership. In the rare event if the expelled member after appeal, is allowed reinstatement to active status, punitive penalties shall imposed at a quantum to be solely determined by the management.

1.7          By the act of accepting membership in this forum, the members hereby acknowledge that it is their own volition in pursuing membership in this forum and unequivocally pledge that they shall faithfully abide and uphold the rules and policies of this forum and refrain from disseminating misleading information, false representation or libelous remarks in other online/offline sources or publications which may tarnish or put this forum in a negative perspective or disrepute.

1.8         We only allow one account per member in this forum irrespective of whether the member possesses multiple computer systems or multiple Internet Service Providers. We are constantly monitoring with the latest techniques for suspected multiple account holders and these offenders including offenders using fraudulent Proxy or VPN systems shall be expelled and earnings confiscated. These offenders are depriving the deserving members from their fair share of possible earnings including the willful intention to defraud this forum.

1.9          The management reserves the right to grant exceptions to the rules on a case-by-case basis, modify/amend the regulations and delegate/empower its staff to act expediently and equitably on violations and/or exercise their discretionary powers to maintain order in this forum including the suspension of offenders and arbitrate when there are disputes and discord amongst the membership.

2.        Rules and Provisions

2.1      Interpretation of the Rules:

When necessary, an obiter dictum/collateral opinion is appended under ‘Observation/Opinion’, in order to fathom the spirit behind the enactments thereby hopefully creating better awareness and observance by the membership and likewise, helping the staff of GET in attaining a higher level of propensity to eradicate violations.

The rules and provisions are framed within the ambit of the universally accepted Cyber Laws governing the proper use of the Internet, transmission of information/money and the online business code of ethics. When there is a stipulation not covered by the rules and provisions herein, the Cyber Laws shall prevail. 

2.2      Members’ Responsibilities:

This forum is conducted in English; therefore, all postings including attachments and programs introduced by our members must be in English. Our members are expected to possess an adequate level of proficiency in English before participating in this forum. We do not penalize for grammatical errors but if the posting is unintelligible, it shall be construed as spamming.

Members are held solely accountable and liable for all their actions/postings in this forum including their related attachments, quotes and images. Do not plagiarize ideas, comments, postings and articles from other sources. Credit must be given accordingly and permission sought before posting here to avoid infringement and violation of the ‘fair use’ stipulation of copyright materials and intellectual properties.

Desist from disseminating false or inaccurate information, which may cause monetary loss to fellow members. This is a serious offence leading to expulsion. Example being, when a member here claims to be a member of an online investment program but when we suspect the claim to be fraudulent, we do compel the member to substantiate by way of furnishing snapshots of his member’s account including all related materials when he recommends the aforesaid online investment program to fellow members here.  

Observation/Opinion: spamming caused by language deficiency resulting in the lack of understanding in all areas including undesirable postings. Appending false payment proofs and the desire to mislead members for monetary gains in the investment/get-paid arena, warrants stern action to curtail this anomaly.

2.3       Spamming, Trolling and Flooding:

The latitude and indulgence for tolerating spamming, trolling and flooding, greatly diminishes under the context of a paid-to-post forum when compared to conventional non-paid forums. Being a paid-to-post forum, stringent enforcement is deployed in order curb the said undesirables. This enforcement is especially more pronounced under the ‘earn from the net’ and ‘currency exchange’ sections whereby we aspire to inculcate honesty, accuracy, clarity and concision to protect our members from fraud and time wastage in reading disinformation. Strict compliance is of absolute necessity.  

2.3.1      Spamming:

Postings devoid of substance, adds no value to the topic discussed, irrelevant, ambiguous, repetitive postings or non-substantive including wasting precious time to peruse. Any semblance to spamming regardless of the length of the posting shall be penalized. When relevant information is already available on the website of program being introduced or previously posted under the thread, do not ask again. If you are sincerely interested, go to the site and check including reading thoroughly the whole discussion here. We are not the program’s support forum, therefore, many issues posted here are considered to be highly inappropriate.

Examples are illustrated below but not limited to the    following:

“Have you been paid? Please provide payment proof”

“How many ads per day?”

“I do not like the site, the rates are low”

“Is Alert Pay offered by this investment site?”

“Payment duration too long, 30 days, not joining”

“This site is a scam site, I shall not join”

“Good site, I have been paid again”

“I shall consider joining, many payment proofs here”

2.3.2      Trolling:

The contentious conduct of members who posts repetitive known facts, ramblings, off-topic matters, repetitive remarks, inflammatory remarks causing grievance or anxiety to fellow members. In some areas, trolling is similar spamming.

2.3.3      Flooding:

Although we do not dictate or restrict the members on the number of posts that they are allowed to post per day but we do have a clear policy on what constitutes ‘fair and reasonable action’ which is required from all members. Due care and good sense should prevail when exercising this privilege as not to infringe and cause flooding including breaching the accepted norms of 'fair and reasonable action'. Do not post indiscriminately until excessive flooding ensues.   

Observation/Opinion:

Acute spamming occurs due to irresponsible individuals. Be culpable, bearing in mind, we shall deduct the infractions against the payment request. It does not pay to violate the rules, which may also lead to expulsion. Read the whole thread before you participate and definitely not advisable to participate if you have no interest on the subject matter, not equipped for proper deliberation on the subject matter or have to predisposition to post only for the sake of earning GET points. Repetitions of comments with the same substance are another major source for spamming including plagiarizing postings from other sources.

2.4       Rule of Conduct/Etiquette:

Members are expected to act and behave with proper decorum based on mutual respect for each other to maintain harmony. Always articulate in an appropriate and tasteful manner with due respect accorded to membership and must be totally devoid of any inflaming or provoking statements, racial slurs, sexist remarks, incitation of religious sentiments, causing discord and animosity on contentious issues, politicking, libelous personal attacks, hurl unjustified accusations, snide remarks/innuendos and vulgar/indecent overtones.

When a member observes violations committed by another member, do not post in the particular thread where you had observed the violations. We do not allow ‘backseat moderation’; use the report button located on the top right-hand corner of every post. 

If there are any questions, doubts, complaints, or appeals that need the attention of management or moderators, use the appropriate sections that are provided for the convenience of the members. Urgent matters may be addressed by messaging to the relevant parties.

2.5       Signature and Avatar:

Avatars, Signatures, Nicknames including images and graphics append must be in good taste, non-provocative or lewd. No referral link is allowed in the signature.  The script only allows for a certain size for the graphics in the signature or avatar. This also applies for the number of characters appended in the signature.

For Avatar, the Maximum size of the avatar can be 80 x 80 Pixel and 20 KB.

For signature, the Maximum Characters Including BB Code Markup is 150. Maximum Lines in Signature is 3. There can be a Maximum of 2 images be included.

All the specification mentioned here are for the Registered Members. Special user group would enjoy special facility and that will vary from time to time.

Observation/Opinion: The diversity of ethnicity, culture, religion, nationality and age group demands utmost care and circumspection when participating in this forum to prevent unnecessary friction, disharmony and commotion. We do encourage report of violations when it is observed but use the proper channel to lodge the report and not just post the comments under the violations you observe, this is a paid-to-post forum and such acts are not in tune with our rules here.      

2.6       Referral Rules:

The Thread Starter/The Introducer of the programs under the ‘Earn from the Net’ section must append his own referral link, which means that the Thread Starter must be duly registered including being an active member of the program being introduced. We strictly enforce this provision to prevent those who have no knowledge whatsoever from recommending programs. An Introducer can only be well versed, knowledgeable and be of any assistance to other members only if he or she has prior experience in the program before introducing. This is the reason for the strict enforcement. If the site does not offer any referral program therefore you are unable to append your referral link, please inform in the introductory post.

Members are not allowed to include or post referral links, use their signature as referral links, appending links disguised as referral links or spamming of referral links by messaging to other members.  

The only section where you are allowed to post your referral link is under the ‘Members Offer’ section, when you offer incentives for your potential down-lines. Do not make offers in any other sections except in the said section.  

Observation/Opinion: There are many cases of false referral links. We request for authentication by way of snapshots of the member’s pages including the page with the date of joining the program.

2.7       Posting Rules:

This section should be read in conjunction with ‘Members’ Responsibilities’, ‘Spamming, Trolling and Flooding’, ‘Rule of Conduct/Etiquette’ and ‘Posting Guidelines’ for a thorough understanding of what is expected from the members when they participate in this forum. 

Postings must be in English, easily understood and conform to all the relevant stipulations contained in the other sections. All attachments or sites links appended must be suitable for general viewership devoid of any adult materials.

When you append any URL links, make sure it is the direct link to the site and not short-form redirection links. Members who submit false URL links shall also be penalized.

Images appended must not exceed the size of 468x60 pixels in order to conserve bandwidth. To ensure conformity and ease of reading without distraction, the font size used should be in the default mode without caps locked and bold option. The moderators have the prerogative to take action if the member decides to go against the recommendations under this paragraph.      

Be certain you are well acquainted with all the sections in this forum and know which section is most suitable for your posting or where to start your thread. When you observe a thread is already started and the subject matter is identical to what you intend to discuss, just post in that thread, do not start another thread with the same subject matter.  

3.        Posting Guidelines

The below is applicable for the ‘Earn from Net’ section:

The ‘Earn from Net’ section is specifically for introducing new programs and not for any other reasons with the only exception under ‘Forex Trading Discussions’ whereby discussion threads can be started provided the subject matter it is not already covered in the other thread under the same section.

Always try to include all the relevant information of the program being introduced including payment proof when applicable. Do not just appended your referral link without supplying important information of the program including the rate of returns, minimum investment permitted, type of payment processor used, duration of payment, minimum cash-out amount, etc.

When appending payment proof, do not copy and paste the proof but instead take a snapshot of the payment proof. All payment proofs using the copy and paste technique are disallowed and shall be penalized. When you state that the program has paid you, make sure you append a snapshot of the payment proof to avoid being penalized. All snapshots should not exceed 300x100 pixels in size.

Do not request for payment proof, not necessary to thank the thread starter for introducing the site, no need to inform that you are interested, not need to inform if you are not interested and no need to inform that you have joined. Spamming, Trolling and Flooding including irrelevant postings are strictly prohibited under the earning section of this forum. Please refer to the above section ‘Spamming, Trolling and Flooding’ for further details.

Members are not allowed to start threads under the various scam sections when the particular program is already posted in this forum. Message the moderators or use the report button to have the thread moved if you have substantial evidence to support you claim.

Be certain the program introduced qualify for it to be listed under a particular section. The rule of thumb is to ascertain the main business of the online program and this indication is used to find the most appropriate section to list. We do not encourage the introduction of sites that only offer opportunities to earn as a sideline business but the main business has nothing do with opportunities to earn.

3.1       Duplicates:

Perform a thorough search to ascertain the program intended for introduction is not already being introduced to prevent duplicity.

3.2       Title Format:

To ensure conformity, ease of reference and ease of search, always use the correct title format.

Example: GlobalEarnTalk - www.globalearntalk.com  

And NOT the variants

GlobalEarnTalk – http://www.globalearntalk.com/

3.3       Referral Link:

All threads started under this section must have their own referral links. Only the Thread Starter is allowed to append the referral link and no other members are allowed to post their referral links anywhere else in the threads. No member’s offer is allowed under this section. Please refer to the above section ‘Referral Rule’ for further clarification.

4.        Payment Request and Infraction Penalties

The script automates the payment requests by members but make sure the minimum requirements are fulfilled before requesting to the various processors. Further details here:

1 GET point = 1 cent

1 Infraction point = - 1 GET point

Minimum Cash Out amount is $1.00

4.1       Request Regulation:

The Minimum GET points allowable for requests are 100 Points and the limit is GET 200 GET Points per request.

Your minimum posting count should be 30 posts or above.

GET point To real Cash System

Members are urged to append a snapshot of their payment proofs once they get paid, under this section:

Payment Proof

4.2       Duration of Processing Payment:

We process payments as expediently as possible with systematic checks for violations. Infraction point which is equivalent to the value of GET point shall be deducted from the payment requests.

When there are excessive violations from the members, equivalent to 50% or more of the requested amount in terms of Infraction Points, the payment shall be rejected. If members have too many infractions, we may not be issuing all the infractions but just deduct the infraction points against the requests.

If there are too many requests in any one time or there are excessive amounts of violations to tabulate, the wait is longer. Sometimes, it does not mean that a particular member’s payment request is delayed due to excessive violations but it could be the extra time needed to process other members’ requests in the queue.

4.3       Infraction Penalties:

The infractions are given for breaking forum rules and regulations. It is irrevocable and final except special cases and bears meaning that the amount to be deducted from that member’s account. The number of infraction points is deducted while the member requests for cash-out. Also if the total number of infraction reaches above 150 points then the member is put into a new User Group called “Under Observation” which has limited ability to post. The member can only post in the Private Messages to Admin and explain his course of action. In any case Administration decision is final and no appeal is entertained or allowed.

The infraction points are pre-decided, but for some special rule violation there can be custom infraction point which will be decided by the Staff member at point of issuing the infraction.

The below is the tabulation of the types of Infractions and the corresponding value in terms of Infraction Points. We reserve the right to amend the below list if the situation dictates:
