Group Guidelines (same as for Oldies/Bubblegum):
First
of all, please don't use the Group's message board to post unrelated personal messages to one another. If you want to talk
one-on-one with another member, use email. Any messages posted to Oldies Music Group are deemed to be of interest
to most of the group members. Drifting off-topic
from time to time is fine (it's also inevitable), but please use common sense and don't post your entire life story. This
is a fun place, and people may not appreciate reading about someone's marital problems, personal trials or pet's upcoming
neutering!
Please refrain from habitually
posting links to file-sharing sites such as Rapidshare. Oldies Music Group is a discussion board, not a venue for P2P
music sharing. Occasionally, a member might post a request for out-of-print music (i.e., music that is not commercially
available on CD), in which case another member may convert the material from vinyl and post an upload link on the board as
long as it's within the parameters of the group's focus. However, whenever possible, please use the Files section of
the group to post the individual tracks, since people with dialup Internet connections or slow computers cannot
use sites like Rapidshare. Please don't include the Oldies Music Group in a mass mailing of file-download links
to other groups.
Please DO NOT post audio
files of tracks that are commercially available. Rule of thumb - if you see it on Amazon.com, don't post it.
As with all of my groups,
attachments have been disabled on the Oldies Music Group, which means that any audio files, photos, etc. sent or posted to
the group will be removed by Yahoo when the message is processed. Please use the Files or Photos section as needed (keeping
in mind the above criteria for music files). This also applies to messages forwarded as attachments, or messages
with embedded photos or html; removing attachments also disables html. Therefore, please post using plain text rather
than with colors and/or images.
Any messages which are
insulting or abusive to any individual or to the group at large will be deleted, and the offending poster will be blocked
from any further posting on the board.
