About our Community Announcements

Here is our policy regarding our Community Announcements:

You may not post for sale, yard sale, garage sale, for sale by owner, special sale, or open house announcements. You may not post wanted to buy announcements. These are for classified ads in your local paper, not community announcements.

All announcements are posted for five days only. If you wish to keep an announcement up until the actual date of the event, you must post it again when it expires.

ZiaNet, Inc. reserves the right to deny listings that do not fit into the categories offered, or which we otherwise deem inappropriate for this forum. Here are the categories:

Life events: Birthday, Anniversary, Wedding, Divorce, Engagement, Graduation, Birth, and Death. The message should be about someone and should be from someone.

Event: should be about some special occasion or reminder for a community, not for an individual person. Examples would be the appearance of a band, speaker, author, or other person, at some public forum, or a conference or special event open to the public.
