Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2018 3:04 pm
Loudspeakers.org is a place for all enthusiasts of transducer technology (ie, speakers, drivers, loudspeakers) and audio in general.
Loudspeakers.org is privately owned and operated by a team of Volunteers. Loudspeakers.org reserves the right to limit the behavior of its members. The rules including but not limited to the following will be enforced as fairly and quickly as possible to maintain the highest discussion standards and respect among members.
THE RULES
NOT ALLOWED:
Disruptive behavior of any sort, including offensive language, trolling, threadjacking, insults, intimidation, harassment or other disrespectful or antisocial behavior.
More than one account per person.
Posting your thread or subject in more than one forum.
Posting in a language other than English without a translation.
Posting or linking to pornography, illegal download sites, or illegal software.
Using the private messaging system or email to make unsolicited commercial advances is not allowed.
Posts containing material covered by copyright or Non Disclosure Agreements without permission of the copyright holder.
Posting private correspondence or personal information on the forums without expressed permission of the author or owner.
Posts concerning moderator’s directives or decisions, including reposting of such actions. Please use the Private Message or Report Post button to contact moderators with questions.
The following are general guidelines to make the forum a better place.
Be polite. Be civil. Even if you find it difficult.
Don’t post in ALL CAPITAL letters.
Don’t quote the entire post just above yours.
IF YOU VIOLATE THE RULES:
You will first be warned.
If the warning doesn’t stick you will be banned and so will your IP.
Loudspeakers.org is a Moderated Forum staffed by VOLUNTEERS.
The moderation team has final authority regarding the enforcement and interpretation of the Forum Rules and the conduct of its users. Loudspeakers.org reserves the right to terminate any user account that is deemed to have a negative impact on the forum members.
Moderators work as a team to enforce the forum rules. Most moderation actions are reviewed by the team.
Moderators are not usually allowed to edit offending posts; they must delete an entire post if part of it violates the rules.
Should a thread become repetitive or conflict prone the moderation team will, at its discretion, close these threads. Starting a new thread to discuss the same topic is prohibited. Posting material from or about a closed thread is also prohibited.
If you see a post that needs moderator attention or if you just need help, please send an email to moderator[at sign]loudspeakers.org
Insulting, taunting, baiting or harassing a moderator for official decisions online or through private message or e-mail is a very serious offense and will usually result in banning.
Threads or posts about site moderation are not allowed and will be closed and/or deleted.
If you would like to be considered as a Loudspeakers.org Moderator please send an email request to moderator[at sign]loudspeakers.org
NOTES:
Trolling is posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. Thread-jacking is the practice of taking over a thread by posting off-topic replies such that the original topic becomes diluted or lost. Off-topic posts, and replies to off-topic posts, can be a positive outcome of discussion, but must either be brief or be moved to another thread. If something interesting does arise that warrants extensive discussion — then start a new thread and link to it.
Many people use profanities in normal conversation without too much thinking, but loudspeakers.org is a forum that involves thinking. Please choose your words wisely and always in a civil manner.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING-The Smoky Backroom Forum
The Smoky Backroom is not for those that are offended easily. It contains discussions about anything: Politics, Religion, World Events and so on. There might be a little cursing – it is the Smoky Backroom. Don’t step foot in the Smoky Backroom if you thin-skinned.
