Guidelines

TrumpetForum.com is a community of individuals of all ages who are here to learn new information, help each other, and support their peers. With that in mind, we ask that all members follow these simple rules to create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.

The rules are as follows:

  • All information and instructions in these forums will be used at your own risk. By following or using any of this information, you give up the right to hold TrumpetForum.com liable for any damages.
     
  • All the forums are categorized by topics. Please post your questions or messages in the appropriate forum. 
     
  • Answers to many of your questions can be found using the search functions at the top right of each page to find your answers. If you are still having problems, feel free to post your questions.
     
  • If a topic is posted in a forum that is inappropriate for the question, the staff has the right to move that topic to another better-suited platform.
     
  • The posting of any copyrighted material on our website is strictly prohibited.
     
  • Posting links to generate affiliate commissions is not permitted at TrumpetForum.com. Any posts deemed to be posted to generate affiliate commissions, regardless of the product being promoted, will be deleted. Users who continue to create affiliate SPAM posts will be banned.
     
  • There will be no use of profanity on our message boards. This will not be tolerated and can lead to immediate suspension.
     
  • When posting, please use proper grammar. Refrain from 'text-message' style substitutions of words like 'u' for 'you' and 'ur' for 'your.' This is a multi-national forum, and some of our non-English speaking members must use translation software, which is confused by abbreviations. Most of our volunteer members are very busy helping as many people as they can, and a post that is hard to read will often be overlooked.
     
  • There will be no racial, ethnic, gender based insults, or other personal discrimination. This will not be tolerated and can lead to immediate suspension. 
     
  • There will be no posts meant to offend or hurt any other member in an offensive or inflammatory manner. This includes flaming or instigating arguments.
     
  • Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as constructive as possible.
     
  • Pornography, warez, or any other illegal transactions may NOT be linked in any shape or form.
     
  • No subject matter will be allowed whose purpose is to defeat existing copyright or security measures. If a user persists and/or the activity is obviously illegal, the staff reserves the right to remove such content and/or ban the user. This would also mean encouraging the use or continued use of pirated software, which is prohibited and subject to the same consequences. 
     
  • This forum can request the alteration or deletion of any offensive post. If this is not done promptly, the staff will delete the material.
     
  • Posts may be deleted for any reasons the forum administrators deem reasonable.
     
  • Pictures may be posted if they are not explicit, offensive, or copyrighted.
     
  • Advertisements of any sort are not permitted. This includes member names and links to commercial sites in Signatures or posts. If you would like to advertise on our site, contact us.
     
  • To reduce spam on the site, you cannot add a signature to your account until you reach 25 posts. Signatures are limited to 5 lines or 2,000 characters, whichever comes first. If your signature is larger than the allotted size given or deemed unacceptable, you will be requested to adjust your signature. Failure to comply will result in the removal of your signature. 
     
  • Only one image per signature. Images in signatures must also be no larger than 500 pixels wide X 90 pixels high. You will be requested to remove one if you have more than one image. If this is not done promptly, the staff can modify your signature to abide by these rules.
     
  • Any links in signatures or profiles cannot be commercial, or TrumpetForum will remove them. You may not put links in your signature soliciting donations unless you are in certain member groups. Those member groups that are allowed will be expressly notified. If you have a personal website or off-site help resource, that is fine, but you can not sell products or services through your signature. Unless for a specific reason, multiple links to the same site are not permitted in a signature and will be removed.
     
  • Avatars must be in good taste. This means no vulgar or violent images, pornography, or profanity. Avatars found to be inappropriate will be removed at the staff's discretion.
     
  • Linking to hate, anti-Semitic, racist, pornography, warez, or other illegal sites is prohibited.
     
  • Links in your signature must be hidden, and you can not use formatting to bring attention to them.
     
  • Member's display names can not be email addresses. This rule is in place to protect you from spam bots who will pick up your email address and spam you.
     
  • Members may have only one account on this forum. There is no need to have more than one.
     
  • Any impersonation of a user from these forums, in any mode of communication, is strictly prohibited and will result in a banning.
     
  • Linked and locked topics are pruned regularly to reduce page clutter. If you have a question about where your topic went, please PM a Moderator or Administrator before starting a new topic, asking where it went, or posting a duplicate of the original topic. We will happily provide you a link to the new location or why it was locked and/or removed.
     
  • Violation of any of these rules can lead to a banning of the user from our website and the deletion of their account. The staff will determine the consequences on a case-by-case basis.
     
  • When posting, you agree that this forum's administrators and moderators have the right to modify, delete, edit, or close any topic, signature, account, or profile data at any time they see fit. If you have questions, please do not start a new thread but send a private message to an administrator or moderator.
