Thundergod Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ...so that everyone knows they are still the rules... (they are posted in the help section anyway... ) The Gibson forums are intended for users of all ages, please take this into consideration when posting and use common sense and don't post explicit profanity. Please show respect for all members. Remarks towards others about racism, sexism, origin, creed and handicap will NOT be tolerated and will be deleted by staff, and the poster will be warned, suspended or possibly banned. Your posts and posted images are constantly reviewed by the moderating staff. Any post or image deemed unsuitable will be edited or deleted without prior warning. The member that posted will be warned, suspended or possibly banned. 1. Do not post anything that is considered to be potentially criminal. Posts made under circumstances indicating a considered likelihood of inciting a violent or felonious act, or a subjective intention or knowledge that its content will be used for, or in furtherance of, any criminal purpose are also prohibited. Such posts will be moved offline and referred to proper legal channels. 2. Do not post anything that is considered pornographic, obscene, or contains excessive reference to violence and/or explicit sexual acts. This includes representational artwork as well as photographic or video media and includes linking directly to such content from the Forum 3. Do not post a person's private information. 4. Do not post anything that demonstrates a clear and present danger to the welfare of another person, or otherwise tends to create alarm or apprehension that the welfare of any person is in imminent jeopardy. 5. Spamming will not be tolerated. 6. You may only have one membership account. Multiple accounts are not permitted. 7. Posts must be on topic to the thread subject. 8. Before you start a topic, perform a search to see if the question or topic you wish to create has been made before. If it has, post in the topic that already exists. Duplicate topics will be moved or closed. 9. Do not post topic titles in full capitals, or include an obscene amount of full-stops (periods) or exclamation marks, question marks etc. 10. Begging in the forums for anything is not allowed. 11. Do not over-quote posts. If a post has more than one quote in it when you are quoting it, remove the one(s) you don't wish to quote. 12. Show some restraint on the amount of images you post. Posts or topics with many images are a strain on dial-up users, so please be courteous. 13. Do not post images that exceed the width of the page. This will stretch the page horizontally causing viewing problems for members. Large images are likely to be removed by staff. 14. When posting multiple large images in a post, consider linking to the images remotely rather than using the tags. 15. Do not "flame" others. Blatantly offensive posts directed at others will not be tolerated. 16. Gibson Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason. 17. Gibson Forums will not be held responsible for the content of any message. [*Edit by shadow] 18.

Not at all' date=' just trying to lend a helping hand to those in need (and I quote) Just because the rules are not re-posted does not give free rein of posting again.

I quoted the relevant part only, now if you want dead horse beating you can just read the whole thing in here: http://forums.gibson.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=21343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 For what it's worth, I'm on two - well, two and a half - web type "forums" and this is the only music one - the others are pretty much history/philosophy. There's a lot of banter here which this old picker likes, and a lot of good ideas for music, which I like. And even a bit of tension occasionally among the "regulars" isn't all that bad if it can be kept somewhat down. Frankly I can't imagine a better guitar-based forum. I've learned a lot and I've been pickin' since '63 and playing music on other instruments before that. I'll also admit that on occasions this forum makes me feel a little like a battered old ES175 - still as relevant and sounding always better than in the 1950s, but not necessarily reflecting the way that many of the younger guys think about music or guitars. Hopefully some comments by us older guys and the occasional notes on the trials of life among guitar pickers will help some younger guys steer away from some potholes. Yet we all have to take our lumps. The younger guys, some young enough to be my grandchildren if I were reeeeally old enough to have kids in the first place, <chortle> keep me thinking about new ways of presentation if not some newer music. Given that I'm also a computer nut and a writer for a general audience, that latter insight into more than my own age group is more valuable than I've often admitted. I've looked at other guitar forums. This is "it." Thanks mod types, even if it sometimes your efforts seem far under-rewarded for the tummy aches it likely produces at times. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I actually think it isn't getting as much notice because it is up here, I mean I lost it and I thought it got deleted in one of the frenzies until I actually looked for it. I never look up here, because all it is are the stickies, like the rules and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
