Rules are subject to change and addition
Rules are subject to change and addition
I. We are a friendly and welcoming site - there will be no toleration of bullying, rudeness, negative commentary towards others, or put downs. Creative criticism is a beautiful thing, but put downs are not good for anything. If you are cAugust ht being rude or mean - you will be given a warning. If you obtain over 3 warnings for being rude or unfriendly to anybody - guest or member - who resides on the site, you will be banned. We hold this to high regards as we want all of our members and guests to feel welcome here at Music Matrix. Ignoring other peoples comments and being rude is frowned upon and these matters are dealt with and held in high regards.
II. Other our number one rule being respectful to one another, plagiarism is just as important. We absolutely will not tolerate any type of plagiarism - which means taking credit or the failure to credit something that isn't yours. If you post a video, a music file, lyrics, or anything of the sort and do not credit it, you will be given warning. If you are caught plagiarizing more then one time, you will be banned from the site. We do not take this lightly - for we believe in credit to where it's due. If you can't adhere to our first warning, you will be deemed unable to stop your plagiarizing habits, and banned.
III. We don't need clogged and clutter boards, so no spamming. We do not tolerate any sort of double posting - unless to bump your topic. You may only bump your topic once every 24 hours. If you Decemberide to bump a second time under 24 hours, your topic will be locked. If you have forgotten to put something in your last post - or would like to continue more, you must edit your last post if nobody has replied after yours. If you fail to do so you will be given a warning. If you receive over 5 warnings in a 1 month time period of spamming - you will be banned for a month. If you receive 10 warnings over a 1 month time period - you will be banned. If you continue to reach just under 5 warnings excessively throughout the months - you will be banned. We do not need the boards cluttered. With that said - any other forms of spamming are not tolerated such as one word replies, or just jibber jabber that makes no sense. You must reply with at least three words to a thread.
IV. You've probably noticed you can't change your display name - there is a reason for that. We would hate for our boards to be cluttered with spammers and inactive people. If you wish to change your display name then you must message a staff member. If you fail to message a staff member and get your display name changed - your account will be deleted after 7 days upon your registration date. Any staff member can change your display name for you, so feel free to contact any member on the staff team - they will assist you. If a staff member fails to respond or assist you within 3 days - message an Administrator with the staff members name, and what you wish for your display name to be changed to.
In order to prevent members from constantly changing their display name and confusing every known member on Music Matrix - you may only change your display name once every 3 months to a different name starting the day you get it changed from your username. If it has been 3 months since your registration date and you wish to change your display name to something different - message a staff member with the name you wish to change it to.
V. One of the most annoying things is having a site with 200 members and only 35 of them are active. Activity checks will take place once a year. Starting on January 1st at New Year's Eve, a activity check thread will be placed under the announcement board. A email will be sent to the email your account is registered under, as well as a PM from the staff about the activity check. The activity check will last a month and a half - if you fail to post a reply to the activity check you will receive an email at the end of it informing you that your account is in threat of deletion. 7 days upon that email being sent, your account will be deleted if you do not log into your account and message the staff member in charge of the activity check.
