While acceptance is quick and easy; it's not automatic. You will not be a member until you have received a confirmation email from the approval department. You can expect your approval to take anywhere from 2 minutes to a few hours. Please be patient & welcome to SlideMeister Forums!

I know, you're tempted to scroll down to the bottom, cuz you never read these things, but please read this V.I.S. (very important stuff)

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.

SlideMeister is a place for Chromatic harmonica discussion, not a place for retailers to "hawk their wares." If this your intent, save yourself the embarrassment of being publicly kicked off the forum and banned for life.

Again, SlideMeister is a place for "Chromatic harmonica discussion." We all have our favorites; that's "personal opinion" and that's fine, but any discussion on the superiority of either Chromatic or diatonic is prohibited. While diatonic harmonicas can be discussed, they may only be discussed on the "diatonic" board. Likewise, Chromatics will not be discussed on the diatonic board. Neither Chromatic or diatonic harmonicas will be discussed in any way that would constitute "competition" between the two types of harmonicas. Threads that begin to lean towards Chromatic/diatonic superiority will be deleted in their entirety.

Gray areas. Anything not blatantly Chromatic, (like trying to make a Chromatic sound like a diatonic or vise-versa like Richter tuned Chromatics) must be discussed on the diatonic board. We are not here to argue, but not unlike Politics and Religion, Chromatic and diatonic passions are easily aroused. Gray areas invite controversy; and we don't "do controversy" here. If you want to sword-fight, "take it outside" i.e. go to another forum as there are more that a few out there that seem to thrive on that sorta stuff.

SlideMeister IS NOT A DEMOCRACY; therefore, it does not provide members who may disagree with the forum's posting policies or format, a platform from which to voice their opinions. This policy IS STRICTLY enforced. SlideMeister is SlideMeister, and while its policies aren't actually "carved in stone" for all intents and purposes, they are. If you think you're coming here to change things; now's the time to leave.

Remember, we're all about opinions here; so in effect, we're ALL right

Challenging someone's personal opinion (besides being stupid) is prohibited, and can even get you kicked of the forum. We either agree, or agree to disagree and move on.

Since SlideMeister membership is easy, private, secure and doesn't fill your email in-box, posting to this group for any non-member (without express permission from management) is also strictly prohibited; AS IS CROSS-POSTING (re-posting messages from other groups). If SlideMeister isn't good for some folks to JOIN, it's certainly not good enough for anything they have to say. Obituaries and the like may be forwarded to SlideMeister management.

Unless otherwise approved by management, only 1 (ONE) user account per IP address will be allowed. Unauthorized multiple accounts will be deleted when found and the IP addresses will be closed and banned.

Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.
