FORUM AND DISCUSSION GROUP RULES

NOTE: Developers, retailers, service sellers, manufacturers, and any employee or contractor of any of those types of companies, please see our Community Rules here:

LinkedMusician Community Rules and Site Policies

The basic premise of the site is best expressed through this scene:

What's Against the Rules:

• Spamming
• Trolling
• Bullying, Harassing. Gaslighting, Sh*tposting, or Defaming Others
• Culture Wars / Any Comments Denigrating Groups of People Due to Factors Such as Race, National Origin, Ethnicity, Language, Income Class, Sexual Orientation, or Religious Views (min. Immediate account suspension)
• Political or Religious Remarks
• Posting Referral or Affiliate Codes or Affiliate Marketing Links
• Any Form of Software Piracy - this includes sharing discount codes intended for paid users or subscribers of a product or service that the company did not authorize for free distribution.
• Posting or Linking to Sites with Piracy, Pornography or Content That Is Generally Considered Obscene
• Shilling for a Developer or Any Company That Serves This Community (immediate ban)
• Puppet Accounts (immediate ban) - If you're a developer or are compensated by a developer or other company that serves members of this community, please disclose it, ideally in your signature
• Posting Links to Pages with Affiliate Marketing Links and/or Pages that Duplicate the LM Forum.
• Posting potentially libelous statements about companies or people. If you personally had a bad experience with a company, please feel free to share it, but do not post rumors or insinuations here.
• Posting false or misleading information.
• Linking to content promoting hate against any group due to race, religion, ethnic origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation or engages any kind of extremism. That includes linking to your social media accounts if they include this kind of content.
• Sharing music that promotes hate against any group (e.g., racism, sexual orientation, nationalism, religious discrimination, etc.) or extremism. While religious and political comments are off-limits, you are free to share songs that cover religious and political topics as long as they do not promote hate, intolerance, extremism, or violence.
• Registering with or modifying your registration to a fake email address.
• Posting personal sales in the Deals Forum. (We have a Buy and Sell Forum).

What’s Discouraged and May Result in Penalties:

• Rude Behavior / Snark – If you want to be rude to people, this is the wrong place.
• Constant Negative Posting – If that’s your style, try to tone it down. Don’t be a one-trick pony. That gets old fast.
• Conspiracy Theory Posting – If you have a crazy theory about stuff like who killed Kennedy, that’s fine. But this is the wrong community to post that stuff.
• Vendettas Against Other Community Members – Life is short. Consider reaching out to people you’ve had past differences with and let them know that you’d like to try a fresh start. It can work wonders.
• Coded Political or Culture War Messages – Facebook, X and other social media is overflowing with people who want to battle over politics and culture wars. We’re not looking to join them. Take it there, not here. If we see it once, we’ll give a warning, and possibly a penalty. If we see a pattern, the member will receive a permanent ban.

What We Encourage and Helps the Community:

• Showing Respect and Kindness to Other Community Members
• Speaking Up and Reporting Bad Behavior When You See It
• Sharing Your Knowledge and Experience
• Sharing Honest Experiences — Positive and Negative — with Developers and Manufacturers, Their Support and the Products and Services They Make
• Sharing positive experiences is the norm, it’s the best form of advertising a business can have. Sharing negative experiences and opinions is often discouraged, edited, or outright banned at numerous developer owned forums we use. LinkedMusicians firmly believes that regular paying customers — not influencers, fellow developers or forum owners — are the best, most unbiased, and, most likely, truthful source of knowledge on products and services. LinkedMusicians will serve to amplify their voices.
