MusicBanter Forum Rules

In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules.

General Rules:
• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, trolling, purposeless inflammatory posts or members deliberately provoking another member into committing any of these acts.
• Posting or linking to any disturbing, obscene, gory or pornographic material is strictly prohibited.
• MusicBanter does not tolerate plagiarism of material including but not limited to album reviews, blog entries and wikipedia articles. If you wish to use this material on MB, it must be referenced.
• The solicitation of--or participation in--illegal activities of any kind are not allowed.
• Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) nonsense posts, or the like.
• Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping threads. At least 24 hours.
• Please make an effort to ensure your posts are written in an intelligible way and are not formatted in a distracting manner.
• If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English translation of your post.
• Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
• You should never give out your MusicBanter login password to anyone. The staff will never ask for your password.
If anyone requests it for any reason, please report it to a moderator.
• The Music Banter chatroom is an extension of the Music Banter website, and all of the above rules apply. If a user is observed violating the rules, action equal to that on-site will be taken on the user's account.
• Impersonating staff or other users through chat or otherwise is unacceptable for any reason and will result in immediate consequence.
