RULES:
1. First of all, all of the mods reserve the right to close any threads or ban any user for any reason we feel appropriate. As a general rule, make sure your posts are constructive and friendly, and make your threads worthwhile discussion. And don't try to sidestep or push any of the rules, we don't accept loopholes.
2. There will be absolutely no bashing of any bands or genres. Any threads that are just bashing of ANY band or ANY genre will be closed and the users warned. If it keeps happening there may be bans.
3. Don't insult people, even if they insulted you first. Be the better person and just report them ;)
4. Take a few days to get a feel for the forum and get to know the users, don't just start making threads right off the bat.
5. Don't bump threads that are past the second page. Also don't make a thread if there is already a thread about or similar to your topic.
6. Don't spam excessively. We (the mods) are the judges of what is excessive and what is not.
7. Some Internet lingo is accepted (lol, lmao, pwned), but Internet shorthand is not. sO dont tYpE liek dis kthx.
8. Don't make "Band X vs. Band Y" threads, or "Musician A vs. Musician B" threads. They are useless and will be closed.
9. Don't make threads advertising your band, that's what the Jukebox is for. Any other kind of advertising (fan sites, forums, etc) will be deleted.
10. There is a handy thread called "Recommendations." If you want to find some new bands, just go there; don't make a thread about it.
11. Please for the love of God don't ask us to name your band.
12. This shouldn't be a problem, but if a Supermod comes in here and closes something/bans someone, don't complain. Trust their judgment, that's why they're Supers. If something is fishy then we will investigate it, but give them the benefit of the doubt.
NEW RULES
I'm adding to Joel's, because there's no reason to throw his out. (shut up vince)
13. STOP DOUBLE POSTING. This is the thing I see the most around here. Too many people are double posting in the community thread, and it needs to stop. It's pointless postcount +. From now on, if I see you double post, I'm merging them, and if I have to keep doing it for you, then I'm banning you for a week so I don't have to anymore.. There's an edit button for a reason. If you don't know how to quote with the manual tags, all you have to do is type [ quote = (name of poster you're quoting) ] copy/paste post here [ /quote ] (without the spaces). It takes a few seconds longer, but it helps things stay more organized.
14. If you make a thread advertising your band, you're banned. There's a thread for that already, which can be found in the first link of this thread. Or you can go to the Audio Arena.
15. Make sure to search a band before you make a thread on them, or look back a few pages to see if a thread has been made on them. Sometimes the search function doesn't work. We've had quite a few cases of threads being made for bands that already have huge official threads. Most of them can be found on the first page.
16. Please try to stop spamming in the community thread. I'm not saying that I've never done it, because I have, but I'm seeing way too much of it lately. Try to avoid telling everyone that you're leaving, or you just woke up and you're getting ready to go to school, or you made a bowl of cereal for breakfast and you're getting ready to pour some milk on it. It's annoying seeing one person say bye and then 8 other people say bye too, then there's half a page of no conversation at all. It's ok to include it in a post if you're actually saying something interesting though. Try to cut down on your posting in there too, and post in other threads. :)
17. There have been quite a few people in here coming in and advertising, flaming, bashing, etc. If you can, avoid posting in their threads, and just report it. Joel or I will eventually take care of the thread/post. Try not to confront them if you can.
I know this is a lot to read, and it sounds strict, but they shouldn't be hard to follow at all. I hope these threads will help better the forum. :)
