Site Interference, JavaScript, Active Code, Repetitive Posts Grounds for Immediate Post Removal or other action •Using JavaScript or active code, making repetitive posts, or taking actions that interfere with site operations. This rule includes any activity that circumvents the intended use of a board, a feature or a policy. Some examples include: •Using white text to mask profanity or other violations, so that it is “hidden” until someone highlights the area; •Interpersonal disputes carried to such a level or duration that the average member cannot enjoy the board •Mob behavior includes actions by several members to discourage opinions other than their own, or against another member or members. •Using multiple user ids to appear to be different people, to circumvent eBay-imposed restrictions or rules, or to debate with oneself or support one’s own argument •Making repetitive posts includes “spam” and attempts to disrupt a board or boards by multiple postings. When an otherwise “allowed” post is made to more than 3 boards it may be determined to be “spam” and removed. “Bump” posts may be allowed in limited quantity to preserve useful threads, but will be considered disruptive if used to further an agenda or to fill the front page of a board with threads about a single topic or user. •Using code to change the appearance of a board or others' posts, such as deliberately stretching or elongating a board or a post, making an image or text appear outside your own post box, or causing sound to play without a deliberate action from the reader •Using any kind of active code other than simple HTML – certain HTML coding is also prohibited. JavaScript, CSS, Java applets, redirects, pop-ups, and cookies are some examples of items prohibited from member posts. •Using code to mimic post headers: making a post that appears to be a post that appears to be from another user, or at another time, or otherwise creates the appearance of being “a post” when it is not. The ultimate purpose of every eBay board is to enable community members to interact with each other and, on occasion, with eBay staff. Just because something is “technically possible” or there’s not a specific rule against it, does not mean it is appropriate or allowed. Anything that interferes with the use of the format, tools, or policies as eBay has intended it to appear or be used may be considered Site Interference.

Posts removed for this reason may be due to a signature. For example, if one's signature is very excessive in size or by its very nature, it may be disruptive to other members. Please see Guidelines for Using Signatures in Posts for more information.
