MISSION:
This Blues Guitar Unleashed Member Forum is first and foremost a learning community for students of Griff Hamlin and Blues Guitar Unleashed. This forum's ultimate mission is to provide a pathway for students to interface with Griff and other "BGU'ers" who have been down the road they are on when help is needed.

Rules And Guidelines:
While I try to keep rules to a minimum and allow users to be their own guide, there are a few things that are most definitely against the forum rules and guidelines:

1. Slanderous or threatening language against any user, business, person, place, animal, or thing. There is simply no reason any of that type of talk needs to happen on a forum such as this.

It is completely permissible (and even encouraged) to share your experiences with a store, manufacturer, or online retailer, as long as it is a factual account of what transpired and contains references to both sides of the story (you did, so they did, so you said, so they said, etc.)

2. Racial, political, or religious discussion is completely off limits.

3. Aggressively posting your thoughts and opinions via intimidating or overly posturing language is unnecessary and uncalled for. Everyone will have an opinion on a variety of subjects and that discussion is helpful and welcomed. But if the tone turns aggressive or your opinion is presented in a manner that condescends to other members, a warning will be issued.

4. Spamming actions such as "disliking" a large number of posts by a particular member in a short period of time is also uncalled for.

Disciplinary Actions:
The disciplinary system works upon a points system. For an infraction you will be issued a warning and earn 1 point. The point will expire in 30 days.

If you reach 3 points, you will be banned for 3 days.

If you reach 5 points, you will be banned permanently.

Warnings will be sent to you so you will know when they happen.

Moderators and Administrators will sometimes attempt to pull errant threads back on target before issuing warnings.
