The Opeth Forum previously unwritten rules

[MetalManCPA]

Be intelligent

State your opinion - as strongly as you like

Be honest

Don't trash others for their opinions

Swearing isn't necessarily a no-no, but pick your spots, and use in an un-offensive manner

Length of the thread doesn't matter

Post anything you like - if it is deemed unpopular - it will pass to the bottom over time and dissapear

I'm not really sure why I posted this, other then agreeing with others that we don't want to see this forum turn into the crap that exists on other forums.

Please add/subtract to this as you see fit.

Can I extend this one? Try not to look down on others, and respect their opinions instead. Discussion is fine, but don't actively try and change their veiws/opinions

Id like to add another one , maybe this could be posted on the opeth board pictures page .


Promoting your band is alowed on the opeth forum , however thrashing other people who promote there band on the forum will not be accepted by others.

That's pretty specific..

I like the rules. But we can't get over-sensitive.. you can't freak out and ban someone for just making a little joke about you -


Basically, we should be wary of misconstrued jest. (I like that sentence)

but other than that, sounds fiiine by me.

Every kind of community, be it in person, in family, or online (and even in a kind of slow-chat environment like this), will form relationships and friendships, and inevitably, there will be people who get others pissed off. It happens, but we should do our best to watch out for it.

We gotta keep growing!

...and use the invented adjective Opethian at every opportunity! Same goes for poking fun at Mikael's moustache.
