Audiophilia Terms of Use

1. SPAM of any kind will NOT be tolerated and removed immediately. We use the following definition of SPAM: Unsolicited "junk" e-mail sent to large numbers of people to promote products or services. Sexually explicit unsolicited e-mail is called "porn spam." Also refers to the linking/posting of inappropriate self-serving, promotional or commercial postings/links to discussion groups or bulletin boards. In addition, unless you are an official Audiophilia, Inc. sponsor, you are not allowed to post commercially (Including members operating a going concern out of their home or garage or linking to those concerns from other members). As such, commercial posts will be removed promptly. This site is maintained with the help of our sponsors. It is unfair to our advertisers/sponsors for others to use the resources of Audiophilia, Inc. for personal gain at no cost to them.

2. As a private site, the owners of Audiophilia, Inc. reserve the right to administer the site as they wish, Including banishment from the site without explanation (banned members have posting privileges removed, and user cp access restricted). Posting on Audiophilia, Inc. Forums is a privilege, not a RIGHT. "Members" of the forum are considered guests. Please read all policies carefully.

3. If you feel that a post is inappropriate or is in violation of club/forum rules, use the "report this post to a moderator" function located at the top of EVERY post (you'll need to be registered on the forum). By using this button, the moderator(s) of that particular forum will receive an email telling them of the post, where it will be up to them to decide if it is acceptable or not.

4. Moderators are your friends. Think of them as the crossing guards of our community. They are there to assist you and they are also there to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Each forum moderator is responsible for: Editing/deleting messages, moving topics to proper forums, posting replies whenever possible, and promoting forum discussion.

5. Be friendly. You'll find that if you treat others with respect they will do the same in return. No personal attacks on any member. No harassment of forum members in any way (email, private messages, posts, etc.). No "alternate" personalities. No more than one username per member. Any "trolls" (those posting just to cause trouble) will be banned without explanation. Posts regarding why "so and so" got banned or why a post was removed will be promptly removed. These are not public issues, they are not open for debate, polling or anything else. Questions about these issues will only be answered via email or PM (private message).
