Advertising principles
- Ads are always labelled “Advertisement” and never appear as member content.
- Placement is by equipment type, industry or topic hub — advertisers do not receive member personal data.
- Technical discussions stay independent of advertisers and OEMs.
- Job vacancies, recruitment and staffing services are not accepted as advertising.
