* Joining this site is free. There are no charges involved to members at any time for the use of this site.
* All applications for membership are subject to approval. When an application is made the details can be seen by admin who will then decide whether to approve or reject the application. If the application is rejected and if the applicant disagrees with that decision a fresh application might be re-considered.
* Multiple accounts are not permitted. If you are found to have more than one account, you may lose all accounts with prejudice.
* Accounts that have not been logged into for 2 years or more and have no posts may be deleted.
* No member may impersonate anyone other person with intent to mislead. This includes the posting of sound files that are the work of someone other than stated. Another example would be using some else's name (such as hankmarvin or charliehall) in their email address which is likely to cause confusion, although I think it would be unfair to deny members an account for the sole reason of such an email address. However, going beyond what is reasonable could lead to instant deletion of an offending member's account.
* Please note that this site is open to viewing by members and guests (ie anyone on the internet), of all ages (the Sound Files and Tabs boards are restricted to members only) and no post or private message sent via this site may contain personal comments or anything else that could cause offence or upset to others, nor may it contain goading or trolling or any other unacceptable behaviour. Any deviation could result in posts or entire threads being deleted or edited or moved to a private area for scrutiny, and could also result in the removal of the offending member's account without warning.
Any pictures in posts or avatars that could offend others may be removed without warning.
* General discussions should be about guitars or related equipment or guitar players. It is not a fan club type site and guitars and related equipment and players of all styles can be discussed. Sidetracking from a main subject will be tolerated provided that the thread does not stray too far from the original theme. Please refrain from posting about political or religious issues and keep only to light hearted subjects that cannot cause offence to others.
* Without mentioning names, threads or posts that seek to or appear to promote products that were derived from or developed by people or even posted on behalf of such people who seek to belittle products associated with Charlie Hall and who send unpleasant emails to Charlie Hall and even have the gall to tell him that his product has been taken apart and examined and then go on to imply that his products are not what they are purported to be, are not allowed.
Certain names of people or products may also cause threads or posts to be moved or deleted. To avoid problems I will not mention any names here. It will have to be enough to know that threads or messages deemed to be problematic will not be allowed to remain in public view.
Such posts or threads will be removed without warning or explanation, in accordance with the condition above of not mentioning names. Persistent defiance could result in account deletion.
* The posting of links to sound and video files is allowed only in the Sound Files sections and only by the member or members that performed on them or with the prior permission of all performers on the understanding that any performance can be commented on in a constructive way unless such constructive criticism is specifically requested to not be wanted at the time of posting.
* Offering pirated or unofficial goods by any means within this site could result in cancellation of membership of the member responsible. If it is suspected that pirated EFTP patches are being sold on a unit and cooperation is not forthcoming, your membership account will be closed and deleted.
* No member may encourage others to act outside of the law.
* Anyone posting an insinuating or obvious comment about a selling price in the For Sale section of this site will have their account deleted without question. If a selling price is not agreeable to you, it might still be to someone else.
* Relaying of personal messages will not be allowed on this site other than by quoting another member's comments. Any non member wishing to comment on this site will have to join as a member of this site.
* Any member will automatically be expected to have read and understood these rules. Any member defying the rules will have their account deleted very quickly without warning.
* No member will be exempt from these rules except Charlie Hall or anyone officially appointed to act on his behalf.
* Rules and conditions may change at any time without notice.
