It was here in number one, and it's still here in number 2!
GuitarNuts is a friendly, informational community!
This isn't so much a rule as a guideline, but a very important one. One of the things that set GuitarNuts apart from most other online forums was its friendly, hostility-free nature and helpful member base. The simple fact that we have survived the loss of our original board demonstrates the will for the common good! We are not so much an internet site as a group of people, and kindness is one of our defining factors. In that light,
Flaming and harrassment will NOT be tolerated.
Among people, especially the more artistic type, one tends to find many different stances and opinions. As a result, personal differences are almost certain to arise. Gear preference, playing style, and musical interest are among a few of the many varied areas of preference of our diverse group of members. However, all conduct on this board -will- remain civil and be devoid of personal attack! If you happen to be a fan of Fender and someone else is expressing their love for Gibson, I certainly hope you are mature enough to realize that they are not attacking your preference in musical instruments, and leave to each their own.
This rule will be strictly enforced, violators will have -one- post's worth of leeway, following a warning, before a permanent ban!
Before, GuitarNuts was privately hosted and moderated, and its member base was allowed to post pending membership status. This managed, for the most part, to keep people with ill intention away from our boards. With this in mind,
Posting on GuitarNuts2 will require membership.
There are a few reasons for this. For one, it is far easier in the minds of those who would do ill unto our beloved home to hide behind the "Guest" username and fling mud. For most such individuals, taking the trouble to register with our forum in order to cause trouble will be outside the scope of their ambitions.
Secondly, members with a username will have the chance to gain a status and name in the community, and as a result we will grow. If you answer GuitarGuy345's question about pickups in one board, and he's friendly, you'll be more apt to reply when he's saying "My pickups are fixed but now my amp doesn't work!" in a few boards over.
I'm sorry to bother those of you who only intend at present to ask one question or make one statement with attaining a membership, but it really is a simple, short process. If and when you return for a second visit, we will all be here waiting for you, but moreover, we will -recognize- you!
A note about language.
I personally do not have the cleanest of mouths on a day to day basis, so rest assured that I am not simply a prude when I say, foul language is inappropriate and unneccessary to the conduct in the GuitarNuts2 environment. Not only is it offensive to your average forum-dweller, the purpose for the majority of your general "four-letter-words" doesn't reach beyond anger and spite. I assume that if you have the intellectual faculties to pick up an instrument and play it, you can express yourself in a personable manner.
With all that said, be advised that the contents of this thread are subject to change as we get used to our new home and the different social environment it brings. Everyone, have a good time!

A Few Additional Things
All of RH's simple rules still apply, and will be vigorously enforced. In addition, please keep in mind these additional things:
Again, we hope to see you around. Happy Modding!

A Few Additional Things
All of RH's simple rules still apply, and will be vigorously enforced. In addition, please keep in mind these additional things:
- Please look to see you are posting to the appropriate board. Non-germane threads will be moved in order to retain some semblance of organization.
- Some boards (e.g., "Sound Samples") have rules of their own which should be consulted before posting to such boards.
- In particular, the rules of posting to the "Schematics" sub-board in "Electronics and Wiring" will be strictly enforced. Questions or comments about a schematic should be started in a general "E & W" thread, with a link to the schematic for reference.
Again, we hope to see you around. Happy Modding!
| GN2 is not a political forum. If you wish to debate partisan politics, religion, or [insert polarizing topic here], find another venue. We reserve the right to edit or delete any post or thread without notice or explanation. Yes, there tends to be a political component to nearly every aspect of our lives, in music and in everyday life. We would advise discretion and objectivity when posting content. Opinions vary. If you expect anyone to respect your opinions, you need to respect theirs. Proselytizing, bullying, derision or partisanship for the sake of partisanship will be moderated accordingly. We have no hard and fast rules regarding what can or cannot be posted here A comprehensive set of rules would be cumbersome and verbose. We suggest spending a few moments contemplating whether or not your reply takes a thread on a divisive, incitable or provoking tangent away from the author's topic, before posting your reply. Your post is a voluntary action. Actions generate reactions. Those actions and reactions may have consequences. |
