Board Guidelines
General Rules and Information
As ever, we are open to your opinions on this set of guidelines and if you have any suggestions, comments etc, please PM a moderator or post in the Site Stuff board.
New members will not get access to the member lists or Private Messaging until they post a number of times.
Promotion and Spam
The Songstuff boards are intended as a community to support Songwriters, musicians and other involved in the creative industries to discuss issues, and to help artists promote themselves and gain valuable feedback.
While an individual post promoting something commercial may be permited, the post must be on a relevant topic, be intended to promote discussion within the Songstuff boards, confined to one board and not repeated while a post promoting the same service / product is still on the front page of any board.
This does not affect the promotion of free sites, free products and free services. Such posts should still be respectful of being on-topic, and promoting discussion/feedback.
Don't join under multiple email addresses. If you are locked out of an existing account, contact an administrator. Multiple accounts belonging to the same person may be viewed as spamming.
We reserve the right to decide what constitutes spam on an individual basis, without the need for explanation.
Just to make it clear:
1. Spamming the Songstuff boards with adverts for purely commercial services is not acceptable, and is likely to result in having membership revoked, and being banned.
2. Repeated posting of mainly commercial adverts will be treated as above.
3. Posting off topic 'adverts' of anykind is not acceptable. These posts will be removed.
4. Posting affiliate links in either posts, your profile, signature or any other feature of the board is not permitted. This will result in a warning, the signature will be changed to remove your link and your posting will need to be approved.
Repeated spamming in any way will result in account cancellation and being banned from further membership.
By "Purely Commercial", we mean there is no free product or service.
Links Permitted
Links to your personal site
Links to buy your CD/track etc.
Links to your personal music pages
Posting
Please avoid excessive off-topic posting in reply to other's topics, and please avoid flooding boards with lots of new topics.
Please post new topics in the appropriate topic board. Out of place topics are likely to be moved to the appropriate board by a moderator.
Warn System
If a board member is warned by a moderator, or directly by a Songstuff staff member, and that behaviour continues, action will be taken to revoke membership of the boards.
This action is reluctantly taken by Songstuff staff due to the increase in unsolicited 'free adverts' by those solely interested in advertising, and the complaints by Songstuff users about such posts.
This does not in any way affect the posting of songs/lyrics/cds for review, although if this is seen as an abuse of the above and a complaint from other Songstuff board members is received, action may be taken.
Be respectful of other board members: use of inciteful, racist, or sectarian language is not permitted.
NO sexually explicit content.
Keep personal comments private. Keep insults to yourself.
Reporting Infringements
If you read a topic that does not conform to the guidelines, please report it to one of the moderators.

By posting your writings here, you consent to allow Songstuff to display your posted work on Songstuff without limitation or financial compensation, now or in the future.
