Ok... you guys have seriously got to start respecting the rules here at Guitar Tricks.

#1) Constantly circumventing or abusing the language filter by posting obscene language is definitely not allowed. Occasionally if it's part of a joke or if there's a specific purpose to getting a humorous point across it's fine ...up to a point.
But inciting anger or flaming someone with things like "bull****", or purposely altering the spelling of words like "f u * *" etc... is not allowed... period.
Replacing letters in obscene words that are obvious attempts to circumvent the language filter will get you banned.

#2) Saying outright that someone sucks or coming down on other members for their views... ie, trying to incite an argument or a flame attack is not allowed... period.

#3) Although it wasn't contained in this post, it has happened in the past.
There is no racism or other derogatory terms allowed at all....period

#4) Again, it wasn't contained in this post, but spamming the board or crossposting in several forums is not allowed...period

The general USENET rules apply here. If you can't follow them, don't post here.

The moderators at Guitar Tricks stay pretty much on top of this sort of thing and will edit, remove or lock posts that break the rules.
People who break the rules will at first be warned by email. Numerous breaking of the rules will result in a 30 day ban and possible outright cancellation of your account.
Yes you can probably just sign up under another name, but you will lose any seniority here and if we suspect who you are, we'll just ban you again.

As far as this thread goes, I've locked it because it's degenerated into a flame war and circumvention of the language filters.

When posting in the future...please be aware that this is a family board accesible by parents and their children and act accordingly. Also be aware that there are about 40 moderators including the instructors here who frequent this board on a daily basis and keep track of multiple offenders in the administrations section.
