| Hi to all the Musicians.
, |
| We the Ing4Music Team have decided to
include some rules of the forum and basic guidelines of how to do some basic
stuff.So lets get on with it. |
| Rules and regulations. |
| Well this is a kind of a version of
rules that aims to give members a general idea about the rules. However if you
think you want to read the full version then here is the link to the Ing4Music’s
Code of Conduct of Ing4Music . It is recommended that you atleast read the
following rules carefully. |
| 1.Posting a topic. |
|
a.It should be relevant to the section |
|
b.Check that a similar topic is not posted before |
|
c.If you are posting articles from other site, then please bear in mind the copy
rights. There are some sites which are directly in competition to Ing4Music.
Articles from these sites are not allowed on Ing4Music. However articles from
official channel sites and sites which are not in direct competition with
Ing4Music are allowed. Please if you do post articles from any such site then
make sure you give the link to it as well. If in doubt please contact a
moderator before posting the article. |
|
d.Please do not post links to other sites. This is advertising and you will be
warned for it. |
|
e.Please try to use meaningful titles which are related to the post you are
making. Bad examples of titles are “baddsg” or any such titles. Good examples
are the ones which summarizes the purpose of your title in few words. |
|
f.Do not post the same (or similar) topic more than once. Or alternatively do
not post your reply to a topic more than once or with excessive number of
emotions. This is considered spamming and you will be warned. |
|
2.Language used |
|
a.In a way this has some overlap with the previous one but still I am trying to
separate it. |
|
1.You should post in a manner that is respectable to others. Flaming or abusing
users will not be tolerated. This includes respecting everyone’s point of view,
opinions, suggestions and ideas. Avoid using offensive or foul language when
posting a message. Please maintain a friendly atmosphere and don't create fights
or conflicts. |
|
2.If you are posting to criticize a artist,(for example he is dumb……. Or any
thing similar) then make sure you do not post abusive comments about the artist. |
|
3.Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That
is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, or very large (or
small) text. |
|
4.Similarly users should not use CAPS as they are considered shouting in
internet language or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or
posts. Both of these are considered as spamming and appropriate actions will be
taken. |
|
5.Thank you button – Please Use it whenever some one posts a useful topic like
updating the serial or pMENTS. You will receive a warning and your warning level
can also be raise. |
|
3.Updates |
|
a.Do not post topics asking for update either video or written or picture
updates |
|
b.Please have patience as writing an update, uploading a video or taking and
posting pictures takes time. |
|
c.If you are not sure on who will be updating on a particular day then either
look into the updated schedule (this will soon be available) or pm any Moderator
team member of the section |
|
d.Again use the Thank you button is you wish to thank the member for posting
update. |
|
e.If you want to have past updates then look into the archive section first
(give link). If you cannot find any particular update (written or video) in the
archive section then pm any Moderator team member and we will try to sort it
out. However if you find that a video link is not working then the best person
to contact is the person who posted the link (not in archive section but in the
topic where the link in archive section takes you). |
|
4.PMs |
|
a.If you have a query or a request and you pm any member, then please try to be
polite and don’t use harsh words or words which is indecent or insulting the
receiver. |
|
b.In addition please pm only once (especially if u r pming a Moderator team
member with any requests), do not pm more than once and in the second pm saying
“I m waiting” or any similar thing. You can however inquire but before doing so
please allow some time as there are some times when a member has to discuss that
issue with other members or needs time to reply due to some reason |
|
5.What should I do if I find that a member is violating any of the above written
rules or is threatening or using abusive language in his/her pms to me? |
|
a.Well, firstly do not react or try to take charge but see if any of the PRC
Moderator team member is online and pm the link to the topic to them(if it is a
pm copy the pm and forward it). If there is none of the Moderator team member
online and the matter is urgent then, go to the main page and right at the
bottom where there is a list of online members, and see if any of the Global
Moderators or Admins are online and pm them. However if the matter is not urgent
then pm the Moderator team and we will deal with it when we come online. BUT do
not attempt to solve it as this may lead you in trouble and may cause the heat
to rise. |
|
6.Penalties.(What if I do not obey the rules) |
|
Please make sure you understand all the rules. Please do not take this lightly
as if the rules are broken then : |
|
a.You will be sent warning pms (in most cases more than 1 pm)by the Moderator
team, this is the first step to the penalty process. |
|
b.If you choose to ignore the pms sent to you and not comply to the rules, then
your warning level will be raised to 20% (if it was not already 20% otherwise
higher and 2nd raise will mean your warning level is at 40%). |
|
i.This warning will be with you even if you change your username |
|
ii.It can be taken off if you clearly show that you have improved and follow the
code of conduct of Ing4Music thoroughly for a reasonable time, if then a
Moderator team member (viewbies or moderators) feels you have improved then they
can decrease your warning level. However this requires solid proof of
improvement on your behalf. |
|
iii.5 such warnings(warning meter at 100%) will mean that you WILL BE BANNED
FROM THE SITE. Thus it is serious. |
|
c.There is one more thing; in some particular cases direct rise in warning level
is possible. For example, typing “Tfs” or “Thanks” or replying with only
emotions or typing in caps is against the code of conduct. If the Moderator team
found any member continuously not following these rules then THEIR WARNING LEVEL
WILL BE RAISED straightaway. So please take care that you read the rules very
carefully and understand them. |
