The B.G.M.F. is a private community and you are a guest here. Think of this forum as a private discussion in a private
individual's living room. The forum is not in any way affiliated with the Breedlove Guitar Company or any other instrument manufacturer. The forum
will never release your email address
or allow dealers to harvest your names and personal information.
PLEASE, BE KIND! The B.G.M.F. is a cordial place. Treat others as you would wish to be treated please. At the B.G.M.F., we should respect each other no matter what brand of instrument you play. Messages considered by the Owner(s), Administrators or Moderators deemed to be inappropriate will be deleted without warning. Vulgar or obscene language or content (pictures, avatars, quotes, etc.) will not be tolerated on this forum.
RULES:
1) Don't start fund raisers on the forum, advertise raffles for your local church, synagogue, mosque, foundation, etc.
2) We require that you respect the privacy of others. Using the forum as a way to obtain e-mail addresses to solicit sales, donations, etc., is strictly prohibited.
3.) No spamming or soliciting products unless they are personal, used gear and in the classifieds section. Unwanted solicitation via email or private message via the board is strictly prohibited. Members who post links to dealer sales, luthier specials, and Ebay auctions may exceed the guidelines. Especially if you are simply broadcasting the information and not personally involved in a deal or needing direct advice.
SPAM EXCEPTIONS: Regular contributing members can announce their new CD releases, shows and events in the proper categories. Members can also have general discussions on guitar buying, general pricing and recommendations as long as they apply to a real situation and keep it simple. Members can post links and information to sales, models and auctions. Please consult with forum moderators or admin by e-mail/p.m. before making any posts that you feel could be questioned.
4.) ATTENTION DEALERS: You may NOT represent your store or business when participating in the B.G.M.F. discussions without express permission from the owner(s) of this forum. Dealers are welcome to participate in the forum as individuals and enthusiasts, but may not represent their store on the forum in any way, unless authorized by the Administrator. (Contact Admin for more information) Further, you may NOT use the B.G.M.F. as a way to obtain e-mail addresses to solicit sales via e-mail.
5.) ATTENTION MANUFACTURERS: You are welcome to represent your company when participating in the Breedlove Forum discussions without express permission from the owners of this forum.
6.) B.G.M.F. CLASSIFIEDS POLICY: The B.G.M.F. is a place for guitar enthusiasts to get together and discuss the instruments they love or are interested in. The Buy/Sell/Exchange section of this forum is provided as a secondary courtesy to allow you to place classifieds for guitar/mandolin-related items or gear for sale. We do not provide a secure transaction environment. The actual transactions and interactions are, and should be, entirely separate from this forum. As a result, transaction feedback, either positive and/or negative, is NOT ALLOWED. B.G.M.F. expressly denies any responsibility for any transactions you undertake that do or do not not meet your satisfaction.
7.) No trolling-defined as the act of laying down bait topics or highly controversial subjects that cause heated responses or debates. We will not tolerate such behavior, regardless of the excuse or pretense. Neither will we debate with trolls. Any resistance to this rule will result in immediate suspension of membership.
8.) Please search the forum before posting a duplicated topic. When a duplicate topic or thread is posted it may be subject to polite removal.
9.) No editorial comments in your signature.
10.) No illegal activity. No illegal file sharing. No posts which include images of copyrighted text, graphics, materials, books or other proprietary intellectual property.
11.) No double posting. Try and think of which category applies and you will get the most response in from. Double posts will find the less applicable one deleted.
12.) Political and religious discussion - This is a guitar forum and political and religious discussion is not welcome here. These topics seem to always lead to problems that this forum does not need or want. There are many places on the Internet where these topics are welcome. The B.G.M.F. is not the place for these subjects. Posts containing political or religious topics or references will be deleted without notification.
13.) Topics begun should "relate" to the title of the Forum and then, its Sections. A fine line exists between related topics and unrelated ones; the moderators and admins of this forum have the right to hide the post until the poster explains (upon inquiry) the nature of the his/her intent. If the poster does not respond his/her post will progress from hidden to simple deletion. We encourage openness and the spirit of stringed enthusiasm, but will not allow random posting of just a hit and run, one time 'unrelated' post.
14.) For the sake of keeping the forum populated with folks who are there to share their enthusiasm and not use it as a "Blue Book" function for one post, then disappear, we will not allow questions about the value of an instrument for the purpose of members replying with a speculated value. First, it is a guess, second the market changes regularly predicated on economic parameters. That post will be instantly deleted. A warning or ban will be issued as a result.
Thank you. Please take your shoes off, put on some acoustic music and make yourself at home.
