Seems to be a noticeable increase in non-mandolin related threads started in the past three days and I've just deleted another one this a.m.. I don't know if this is just a coincidence but it needs to stop. There are clear guidelines and they should be reviewed by everyone who is a member. Please don't assume you know the guidelines for this message board because you've posted previously on this board or on other internet message boards on the web. There are specific reasons behind the way things are set to operate here. No one is charged a fee to post here so all I'm asking is for your cooperation.
Board guidelines (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST&f=23&t=13100)
From the guidelines:
· Topics started specifically for the purpose of discussing religion, politics or sex is prohibited. Posts or threads deemed inappropriate or unrelated to our subject matter are subject to immediate removal at the discretion of the board owner.
I realize there are a lot of strong opinions about politics, the war, job outsourcing and the economy right now, but this is not the place to discuss them. It would really help if the membership at large would assist in this process. Right now I'm in the midst of organizing Mandofest and don't have time to monitor this for the next few days.
For the sake of the larger community that has mandolins as their primary interest please assist by reviewing the guidelines and doing your part to keep this the focus of this site.
