.Registration and Guidelines
PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING! . A word about registration and e-mail addresses The only thing required for registration is a valid, working e-mail address. The forums will use this address to send you a validation link to visit. Without that link it is impossible to log in and use your new account.
.
You needn't register to browse the forums. All but the Moderator's Holdover is visible and readable by guests. If you choose to register, that's great! Meet the gang. :) If not, just poke around, no harm done.
.
There has been trouble in the past with fsnet.co.uk with freeserve.co.uk due to their implementation of spam protection. Our suggestion here is use one of free mail services such as HotMail or Yahoo Mail, and be sure to mark mail from the forums as "Not Spam" so you won't have to dig through the bulk/junk folder for your forum notices (set in your preferences and when you post to topics).
.
AOL has presented new challenges as well with their spam blockers being determined by false spam reports their users have sent in. From time to time the hosting company hosting the site has been blocked due to false reports, and when that happens, nothing gets through from here. To be on the safe side it might be best to use one of the free mail services for the forums instead.
. Guidelines There are a few golden rules that will remain golden.
.
No flaming, personal attacks, or name-calling - All of us have a temper from time to time. We'll do our best to keep it at bay. We ask you do the same.
.
No "For Sale" - It was a noble idea, and at first worked out quite well. But, as all good things go, the crooks and shady characters swooped in like vultures, and before long members here were getting scammed left and right. To avoid any of this, there's no "for sale" here. There is a "Wanted" forum, and all We ask is that any transactions coming out of posts there are the responsibility of the people involved. We cannot help you if you become a victim. If you're concerned or unsure about something you've been contacted about, by all means post about it in your thread! Crooks and scammers despise their schemes being brought out into the light.
.
If you've something you're wanting to sell, our suggestion would be list it on eBay. There's an "eBay" forum here you can post in regarding your listing. On eBay much more is out in the open than private transactions here, and eBay offers more protection than the site ever could for all concerned.
.
No profanity - Nothing stronger than what you would hear on WB television (family television). We come from all walks of life, all professions, all beliefs, and preferences. There are many ways to say something, and profanity shows little respect for others and a lack of creativity. There are bikers posting right alongside clergy, and it works here because of this rule. Please, don't alter spelling or use creative methods to get past the filters. This shows little respect for this simple request.
.
No hotlinking - Hotlinking means using the Img or Url tags (buttons) to point to an image on a server you do not have permission to link to. This includes eBay images. When a domain owner notices hotlinks from these forums We sometimes get a nasty letter, and We really don't like getting them.
. In short... Simply show respect and courtesy and all will be fine. After all, we're here for our passion in these guitars, right? The full version of these guidelines can be read HERE which includes helpful tips to use when posting. If something goes wrong with your registratoin, don't panic. Check HERE to see if it applies, and if all else fails drop a note to the site admin.
. We hope all who visit will tread lightly and use the board for it's intended purpose.
Thanks for reading, and Welcome!
