Forum Rules
Failure to follow these rules will result in termination of your forum account.

1. Respect - Treat all fellow forum members with respect. The rule of the land here is common courtesy. Members who have a problem with this are not welcome. Intelligent debate is permitted. Childish fighting is not. Racially derogatory remarks are not tolerated

2. Language - Foul language is not tolerated in the forums. Keep it clean.


3. Spam is prohibited. Do not post the same question or comment in multiple forums......once is enough. Advertising posts are prohibited. Do not make posts that only serve to promote a product you are selling. Do not make posts that are advertising gear that you are trying to sell.....try ebay instead.

4. Do not post material that is obscene or sexually explicit. Do not post links to sites that contain obscene or sexually explicit material.

5. Posts that promote or incite illegal activity are prohibited. This includes but is not limited to warez, software cracks, and sharing of serial numbers for pirated software.

6. Post your question or comments in the most appropriate forum category. If your question is about music theory, post in the "Theory and Ear Training" forum. If you have a gear related question, post in the "Gear Forum"

7. Try to use descriptive titles for your posts. Try to avoid post with subject of "help". If the post is about minor pentatonic scales, put "minor pentatonic scales" in the subject.

8. Signatures at the bottom of your posts must be short and it good taste. (see above rules) Signatures must not be more that 6 lines long including blank lines. They must not contain all capital letters, and if you alter the text size it must be no larger than the default text size of the forum.

9. Post in this forum must have something to do with music. There is no off-topic forum. There are plenty of general forums out there to chose from

10. Do not make irrelevant one word post just to increase the your posting count.


11. Avatars - You may upload your own personal avatar to be displayed under your name in every post that you make. Avatars must be in good taste and follow the rules of the forum. There size is limited to 65 by 65 pixels, and must be under 1.5K in size. There are many freeware or shareware graphics editing programs available to edit graphics to fit this limitation. Custom avatars can be added in the user control panel....the green button at the top of all forum pages that says "user cp".

12. Neighborhood Watch - Help keep this forum a positive and fun place to hang out and talk about music. If you see a post that does not follow the rules stated above, please report it to a moderator. In the bottom right corner of every post is a link that says "Report this post to a moderator". Click on that link and it will let us know right where the problematic post is.

13. Have fun!

we can set rules but at the end of the day, we want users to take responsibility for what they post. we must understand the reason why SOFT is here and why we must do our best to keep it going.

The thing is, a LOT of us are already starting to dislike this forum. It is definitely a different place as compared to, for example, June-August of 2004. I can easily tell you off the back of my hand the names of Softies who feel the way as I do but I'm not going to out of respect. Ultimately, what and how you post reflects on the sort of person you are.
 
I feel that the forum's alright as it is. Imposing too many rules might result in members feeling stifled, and could lead to a frostening of inter-member dynamics. The current convivial and cordial mood of the place should be maintained
We should always adhere to points 1-5 nonetheless.
 
I think felytone is looking at the bolded rules, not the rest.

we can do better, seriously. i don't see the point of hounding at people on the forums, digging and pointing out past mistakes, and taking a "i won't forgive you" approach at people whom you've never seen.

it's a forum. there will be people with poor lingustic skills that offend others, people who come in to create trouble, and people with their own agendas. take what's written with a pinch of salt.

Especially the spam with the recent SGZen "I got something for youuuuuu" and Harokid's "Booking studio number wrong" crap. Which is so annoying after repeated warnings.
 
Re: we

soft said:
is it because too many post are non-music related?

That's one of the reasons. But it's only normal, that we have posts non-related to music. It's the same thing everywhere else. The thing is, sometimes there is so much non-music talk that the forum seems stagnant at times. Also, for example pickup recommendation threads, there is a significant no. who post "oh this pickup is good" and stuff when they have never actually used the pickup before. It's like, we could benefit more from musicians/softies providing their experiences of using certain pieces of equipment instead of hear say.
 
And we have to remind people constantly that this is not a guitar only forum... when we have people constantly posting their guitar related threads in the wrong forums, and repeating even when guided by other people.
 
come on guys... let there be no golden period la....its true that few mnths back there wasnt so much crap floating around soft,but i think soft.com has come a long way... and with more members comes more problems etc...

honestly... if not SOFT.COM.SG where else? you guys rawk la, where to find anther vaiyen or shredcow, or even double blade etc..etc... many many other interesting people on this site. Its what keeps me coming back.

lets look forward and help james fix whatevers leaking.
 
To be honest, It's kinda sad to see the laojiaos posting less and less(what happened to vern anyway?), and watch as this site gets overrun by unconstructive noobs(some of them). However, I feel now is the time for the laojiaos to stand up and be counted. James can't effect the change alone. We can't let this forum degenerate further yea? The place where we learnt invaluable knowledge and made many lasting friends.
