Our community is a peaceful community for families & lovers of English Bulldogs.
Although the administrators and moderators of the English Bulldog News Community will attempt to keep all objectionable messages and posts off this forum, it is impossible for us to review every message, topic and post. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners nor the staff at EBN will be held responsible for the content of any messages, topics or posts. If you see a post, topic, blog or any content you find to be questionable, please report it to EBN staff by hitting the report button that is located on each post.

Allowable Content & Advertising
The only area of the sites we allow promotion of your own website or business is in your user profile. There is a field in your user profile to enter the name of your URL, and places to post visitor messages to those who click on your profile. To give your profile more exposure, you should post. Those who post often in our forums get more profile visits.
Other websites do not allow you to even talk about, or show photos of items or services that could be sold. We do allow postings of Bulldog puppies, but you cannot show them as being for sale. All postings displayed in an "advertising fashion", will be removed from the public view. If you want to know if someone is selling their puppies, you should contact them via Private Message only. If they post "Are they for sale?", then the post will be removed.
If you have a question regarding breeding bulldogs, please put the post in the private breeder forum.
The reason we are giving some limitations regarding this is because the last thing we want here at EBN is for scammers, puppy mills and spammers to use our site to sell puppies. Nor do we wish to be the ones to have guided anyone to such places.
