Spirit Of Our Community Rules and Guidelines

 

Although the letter of our site rules is important, the spirit of our rules is more important.

 

Members found to be exploiting loopholes will be deemed as knowing exactly what they are doing. Songstuff reserves the right to suspend or even ban such members.

 

Any member found to be acting against the interests of the community or site may find that their account has been closed.

 

Negatively Commenting About Our Community

 

Making comments or  complaints about our community is allowed, but they should be kept to the Site Stuff board. Posting them as off-topic content in a thread outside the site stuff forums is unacceptable.

 

Posting complaints about the site across topics, across boards, blogs, comments, status messages, and any other method of adding content to Songstuff, outside of the Site Stuff board... either direct comments or veiled references, will be considered as TROLLING the community itself. Deliberately antagonistic or inflammatory language will be considered FLAMING the community.

 

Any member trolling or flaming the site will earn warning points, just as they would if trolling or flaming community members. Persistence can result in posting restrictions, loss of privileges, suspension and even a ban.

 

Disruptive Members

 

If you are considered by the site staff to be disruptive, belligerent, argumentative, antagonistic, disrespectful towards members, staff, or in your comments about the site, Songstuff reserves the right to close your account with immediate effect.

 

Causing a site feature not to work, either technically, or by trolling a feature or undermining site rules, will be deemed to be sabotaging the feature and site. Songstuff reserves the right to suspend or close such accounts without explanation.

 

Commenting About Members

 

Negative personal comments, or insults, ARE NOT ALLOWED. 

 

Members must treat each each other with respect..

 

If you have an issue with a member, please speak to a moderator.

 

Unsolicited Comments About Members

 

Before you offer any personal advice, please ask if it is wanted.

 

Offering unsolicited negative comments may result in warning points, suspension or ban depending on the nature and severity of the comments.

 

Bullying

 

Bullying will not be tolerated in any form. Members who are deemed by site staff to be engaging in bullying will have their accounts deleted and they will be banned.
