Gentlepersons
The Emotiva Lounge is intended to be a place to hang out and relax with other audio-video enthusiasts and friends! We view it as a social and educational portal, and an extension of Emotiva Audio. This is a private forum owned and operated by Emotiva Audio.
The great majority of our visitors and members conduct themselves with good manners and are welcome in our virtual home. However, as in all communities, we have a few individuals whose behavior spoils it for everyone else.
I've had several long time members come to me privately and ask what can be done to restore the good natured and pleasant vibe we have worked so hard to create and maintain. They feel, as I do , that we are drifting toward a place that none of us want to go to.... So, here goes:
This is not a street corner. You are not exercising constitutionally guaranteed free speech here; we DO NOT have to listen to, and endure, bad behavior. This is not a G8 summit!
In order to make your visit as pleasant and constructive as possible, please take a moment to read the following guidelines. I like to think of these as the 11 commandments for happy lounge living! ;D
1. Please keep the discussion focused. Topics outside the scope of a given thread may be moved, locked, or simply deleted at our discretion. For off topic subjects, please use the Green Room.
2. Please use the search function before posting; your question may have been previously answered.
3. Be nice to each other and respect the moderators. Profanity, insults, knocking other brands, and generally rude behavior will not be tolerated. Period. Opinions are welcome, not bad behavior.
4. If you have a problem with another member, please turn to a moderator for help.
5. Do not spam. Also, we do not tolerate blatant advertising. Telling your buddies about a great product is one thing, but this is not a store front for another brand.
6. No cross posting. Please post your message once to the appropriate forum and nowhere else.
7. Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.
8. Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.
9. Please read the Emporium rules before advertising gear in the Emporium.
10. Instructions from the moderator team are to be followed. Period.
11. Discussion and opinions are welcome, but we must insist on civility. It’s really simple: Treat others as you would wish them to treat you.
This is a meeting place for hobbyists and friends to share their knowledge, their passion, AND opinions. But, remember, it’s supposed to be FUN and CIVIL!
Remember, a frown is just a smile upside down!! Corny, uh?
Now, go forth and sin no more.
Thank you,
Big Dan, the Emotiva staff, and your hard working VOLUNTEER moderators
