- Q. Are there any types of posts that are prohibited here?A. We will delete any spam or commercial posts. Please do not post to sell something or involve anyone in a money-making proposition. Flames or rude / insensitive remarks will be removed. Users who are disruptive may be gagged at the Guide's discretion.
- Q. May I promote my product or Web site here?A. As with most places on the Internet, you may make your URL part of your "signature" by typing it under your name at the end of your posts, but please do not place commercial posts on the forum. They will be considered spam and be deleted.
- Q. May I promote my band here?A. As long as it's not "spammy". Please feel free to share with us what kind of music you play, who your influences are, what areas you play in and so on, and add a link to your website. Please do not promote shows individually, a link to your tour schedule is better. And stick around! Musicians are very useful in this type of forum.
- Q. I know we're not supposed to be mean or negative, but am I allowed to mention that I don't like a certain band or CD?A. Sure, as long as you have valid criticisms that you can state clearly. Instead of generally rude comments, give us some actual reasons why the CD or live show disappointed you. Don't say "the bass player is ugly" or "the fiddler stinks", say "I felt that the band wasn't connecting rhythmically" or "the fiddle seemed to be out of tune all night." Criticism is helpful when selecting new CDs or live shows to go to, so don't be shy, just be courteous.
- Q. I found this really great article on the web, can I re-post it here?A. Nope, but you can post a link and let us know why you thought the article was so great!
