Acoustic Guitar Community Guidelines

1. Acoustic Guitar Community members are encouraged to create both personal and professional profiles. Feel free to post content related to the topic of acoustic guitars, including but not limited to playing, artists, guitarmaking, guitar-related events, and career building. If ever in doubt, please contact the Acoustic Guitar Community administrator at club@stringletter.com. It is our policy to delete information from this website that is unrelated to the topic of acoustic guitars.

2. Users are responsible for the content that they post on the Acoustic Guitar Community site. No articles, news reports, or other copyrighted material may be posted without the permission of the relevant copyright owners. If one posts content that falls under copyright (e.g., if one posts a video of oneself playing a song that is copyrighted) and the owner of a copyright asks a Community member directly to remove content, he or she must honor that request.

3. If the copyright owner asks for us to remove that content from our site, we'll inform the poster and remove the content.

4. Be respectful and civil to other members, even if you disagree with them.

5. Any unacceptable content (including but not limited to posts, user names, or subject lines) will be deleted.

6. We do not allow harassing, threatening, racist, abusive, hateful, violent, vulgar, or obscene language or behavior.

7. Participation in, encouragement of, or suggestion of any illegal behavior is cause for immediate deletion and suspension of posting privileges, and may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

8. Flooding or spamming on the site is not permitted. Our policy is to immediately delete the profiles of those who distribute unsolicited marketing material through our websites. This includes directly contacting individual members of the Community with promotional offers and links to products that they did not request.

11. This is a public discussion forum. Do not post personal or any other identifying information, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc. Also, do not post any personal information about a third party without that person’s explicit consent.

12. Please keep in mind that other users may claim expert status (legal, medical, etc.) that they do not, in fact, possess. We encourage you to use discretion in following their advice.
