We, the moderators and administrators would like to thank you all for participating in discussion surrounding Orion. Orion are now a prominent name in the metal underground and that couldn't have happened without the support of a growing fanbase: you people.

While we think this forum should embrace freedom of speech, we have have congregated and drawn up an official list of just a few guidelines that the Orion forum shall operate under:


1. Self Promotion

If you have the intention of promoting your band and seek constructive criticism or opinions on your creative output, you should post in "Post Your Band Info/Recordings Here" thread (in the General Music Discussion sub-forum). If self-promotion material is posted any where else that isn't somehow relevant to a conversation, it will be considered SPAM.

2. Spam

Whilst this can at times be a vague term, we trust that you all have the common sense to gauge what is appropriate and what is not. Some things that fall under the SPAM category are: wasteful threads/posts with no discernible purpose, repeatedly posting the same message over and over, repeatedly adding nothing of worth to a conversation, posting repeatedly using internet slang with no contribution of value etc. SPAMMING is not allowed.

3. Trolling

Attacking Orion or its band members without any particular reason other than swollen egos shall be considered TROLLING. Constant personal attacks on members, repeatedly adding nothing of worth, establishing an antagonistic online persona are all traits of your common forum troll. As with SPAM, the term can at times be vague and mis-used, but we trust that you know what behaviour is beneficial to the community and what isn't. Trolling is not allowed.

4. Pornograohy

Pornography of any kind is strictly forbidden here. Anyone who posts anything related to porn shall have their IP address banned, so that they couldn't register under another username.

Final Words


We encourage you all to report unacceptable posts/thread to the moderators, so as to indicate to us where people have crossed the line.

We have tried to make this list as comprehensive and as general as possible. You must keep in mind that context-specific scenarios demand context-specific action. As such, the final frontier is always our judgement. We trust that you will stick by these guidelines and continue to support this great community and add to the discussion happening here.



Regards,

Moderators
