This page will inform you about our rules when posting news in our Public News section here at stylegala.

This project turned out to be a daredevil experiment, and we have worked really hard to make it survive through constant spam attacks and spongers who are just after our pagerank. So before you post, bare in mind that we have put down hundreds of hours monitoring and sorting just to get this project to work at all.

Our public news earns a prime position on stylegala.com. Positioned right in the hot-spot on the front page will expose it to thousands of visitors every hour that goes by in the limelight. And it's absolutely free and easy to post - you don't even have to login. This is what makes it such a delicious treat to the community - and we intend to keep it that way.

So before doing anything else, read these rules and follow them:

No advertising - not even if your site validates. None.
No free / gratis posts about some pyramid game you are stuck in.
No personal posts. Not even if your sister plays tuba.
English only. And prepare your post with a spell and grammar check.
Link directly to the source, not via your site.
No JOB listings posts, If you would like to advertise a job listing, go to the forums. geographically applicable categories have been designated there.


We love great articles, inspiring design and important news for the community. And we are not mechanics, stay close to topics like design, web development, css, web standards, search engines, marketing, coding, tech news etc.

Even though you might think we enjoy deleting posts, we don't. Actually we hate it. So do us and everyone else a favor, follow the rules stated above and help us create an excellent news column for web designers and developers.


Thank you very much!

I must ask, has anything actually been done about the issue, or is this an "honor system". I don't mean to sound negative, but I know plenty of people will be slightly upset if this issue hasn't actually been taken care of.

I've been visiting here for quite some time and there has always been a problem with Spam. Especially as the site's page rank and popularity grew.

I believe that before, posts were simply deleted as they were posted. In all reality, I doubt whether these rules will stop spammers from posting but what it does do is provide guidlines for moderators who are reviewing the posts and help them decide whether a post is spam or not.

Why isn't it changed so that only registered users can post news items? That wouldn't completely solve the problem, but it would help a lot.

I've been busy monitoring the public news, and posting a few things, that I consider fresh. While they may be public news item's, it's a bit of work monitoring the search engines for keywords. I don't really have a good list of RSS feeds to search from.
Added to the Rules were No job posts keep it in the forum's.
That seems to have stemmed the deluges of job posts that we were getting in the public new, maybe people really do read the rules.

The rules above are fine. and we do respect it. after all, we love stylegala.

But then why my post - No-Spec - top ten rules! that linked to hhttp://www.no-spec.com/ was deleted?

I mean, most of the people here are designers and developers. many of them do freelancing! and the speculation problems are faced by many of them. It was no spam and no advertising?

anyways, long live SG, I love SG!

This was not deleted by me and I have no problem with it being Stylegala public news. Please feel free to post the news item again.

I think several times to post a news about my Estate Agency website. Because every news is a little promotion of your site.

I looked and checked all these news above published so they are also promotional.

Is there any authority to control these news before publishing or we may make some promotion here?

I think this answers your question:

We love great articles, inspiring design and important news for the community. And we are not mechanics, stay close to topics like design, web development, css, web standards, search engines, marketing, coding, tech news etc.
