we don't have many - but we do expect all members to abide by these. we really don't want/expect to ban people - but, like everywhere in life - there are some people who just don't want to get along with others. for the good of our community, we've the following code of conduct in place.
■ respect each other - personal/abusive attacks are not allowed - offending post will be removed and a warning issued. any repeat will result in a permanent ban
■ if you disagree with the content of a thread, do so politely and logically.
■ spamming and trolling is not accepted - offending post will be removed and a warning issued. any repeat will result in a permanent ban
■ do not post officially-released or copyrighted material of any kind - including (but not exclusively), music, video, books, magazines, tour programmes, broadcast media or software. doing so will result in an immediate ban.
■ do not request/or offer to share officially-released or copyrighted material of any kind - including (but not exclusively), music, video, books, magazines, tour programmes, broadcast media or software. doing so will result in an immediate ban. This includes offering or requesting copyrighted materials via PM.
■ political, race, sexual orientation or religious posts/threads are not allowed and will be deleted. any repeat will result in a permanent ban
■ no re-posting of any item seen elsewhere, that is likely to breach any of the above rules
■ registering multiple accounts is strictly forbidden and will result in an instant ban for all of your accounts.
■ user names must not contain the names of members of Queen, or any permutations of their names. Attempts to circumvent this rule may result in your account being restricted, and ultimately may result in a ban.
■ please do not try to sell items here. if you see something interesting for sale online, by all means refer to it, but these should not be your own sales. Further, any sales/trades/exchanges are private matters between individual parties (and must be arranged and agreed off-forum) and are entered into on this understanding. Forum membership does not connect private sales/trades/exchanges to this forum and this forum and staff are not responsible or accountable in any way for negative outcomes or dissatisfaction experienced between one member and another during any such sale/trade or exchange.
■ unless you're an international spy, do not login invisibly. Invisible logins have recently been locked to all except for staff purposes.
therefore, if you are currently using an invisible login, please edit your profile to deselect invisible and then log out and back in again.
■ original content from members of this forum, may only be used externally after gaining the express permission of the original poster.
■ Deleting Posts: Do NOT delete whole posts, as this breaks thread continuity. Editing of posts are fine, but these should not damage or impact upon the content/meaning of the post/thread in its original form. Only exceptions to this being factual correction.
■ this forum takes no responsibility for any individual opinions posted.
■ Please try and avoid using VPNs during registration. we use a VPN check for ALL registrations - if the detection indicates a VPN is abusive then said registration will be blocked.
that was fairly painless.
Rules Addendum:
The forum administration team take no responsibility for the content of external links posted on the forum. Posts can be monitored and links will be checked for copyrighted, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate material, and forum staff reserve the right to remove any such links.
This may be either at our discretion, or upon request by copyright holders or internet authorities.
Any repeated infringement of copyrights, or the deliberate posting of illegal material (including external links) will result in an immediate ban. This includes offering or requesting copyrighted materials via PM.
With regard to INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, Proboards are quite specific.

UPLOADING/LINKING OF OFFICIAL CONTENT/MATERIAL: Explanation & Update
Please read carefully. Claiming to have not seen this is not a valid excuse or exception.
We've found in recent weeks, that a number of uploaders are providing links to material that (at best) contain little noticeable change and (at worst) are nothing more than software scripts running batch processes, with very little work undertaken by the uploader. These uploads are too close to the originals and put our community at risk from closure.
Our rule on copyright:
■ do not post officially-released material. anything based around official releases should be significantly different or constructively enhanced/amended.
has now been revised for absolute clarity:
■ do not post officially-released or copyrighted material of any kind - including (but not exclusively), music, video, books, programmes or software. repeat posts will result in an immediate ban. This includes offering or requesting copyrighted materials via PM.
Because the artists does not have an avenue to monetize audio/video stored linked/uploaded to internet forums, such uploads deprive the creator of revenue they are entitled to receive. Therefore, with immediate effect, no further uploads of official material - regardless of enhancement or restoration quality are allowed.
If you have edited/enhanced/restored/remixed official audio/video in any manner, then you should upload your content to Youtube, Vimeo or similar - and allow the copyright holder the right to recourse, either through monetization or takedown.
You can, of course, link your video in our Youtube Section. However, going forward, all Youtube links MUST be accompanied with a full description of your workflow and processes used to complete your enhancement.
Please note: Members are wholly responsible for their own posts. Where alerted, staff will remove any material that breaches the above rule. With immediate effect, any future posting of links to officially-released or coprighted material uploaded to Mega, Mediafire, Yandex or similar will be removed. Any repeat will result in the poster receiving a forum ban.
Over the course of the next few months, our staff will look at all pre-existing links stored here and will be taking down some links - as required.
