The rules are divided into three sections: Green, Yellow and Red.

Green rules are good for a warning.

Yellow rules will net you a ban of variable length if you break them.

And breaking the red rules will give you a permanent ban.

Green

No spam is allowed. This includes nonsense posts, 123 or variations of, posts consisting of a smiley, etc.

No multiple posting; i.e posting two or more times in a row in a thread. Use the edit button, please.

Yellow

Don’t constantly break any of the Green rules. We only have so much patience.

Don’t create a thread to bash a band. Don’t go into an established thread and mindlessly flame anyone in it/bash the band.

Don’t continue personal arguments across the forum. This is not needed and will be dealt with harshly. Take it to AIM/MSN/YIM, etc. if you feel the need.

Posting something illegal along with “I know I shouldn’t post this” or “Wrong forum, but who cares lol”. This is not only breaking the rules, it is blatantly (and knowingly) disregarding them. Please don’t.

Red

Continually breaking the Yellow rules will net you a permanent ban.

No posts or threads promoting racism, sexism, etc. These will not be tolerated.

No porn, or graphic images. This is a family-friendly website. Please respect that.

No advertising your equipment/band/website/forums/etc.


Note on Banning:

When you are banned, you will get an email telling you a reason and the ban’s length. It’s recommended you go over which rule you broke, to make sure it doesn’t happen again. You are permitted to make a second account to post on, provided you don’t break the rules. If you do, your second account will be banned, and the first account will have it’s ban extended by the same amount.

We want everyone to have a good time here. These rules are fluid, and are subject to change without notice, but that doesn’t mean that you are excused for breaking them. Ignorance is no excuse, I’m afraid. However, just try to be decent, and you shouldn’t have any worries.

Enjoy Btb and we’ll see you around the forum, I’m sure!
