Karaoke Forums

8) More like a prayer.

P.S. Shouldn't this post be in the piracy section of the forum?

For the ones that having been buying disc's for a long time why not just show the disc's and get certified.

Because many feel it's unfair to have to pay to be able to make a copy of their disc library to use on computer is basically what it boils down to.

Shouldn't a manufacturer of a product be concerned about the feelings of those who buy their product? For the most part karaoke manus have been not very receptive to the feelings of their patrons whether it be hosts or home users. As long as they were selling their wares and making huge profits they did not concern themselves. Most just went out of business and that was it, once the profits ceased. What little response by the manus to the patrons has been in a negative vein.

I don't know, stranger things have happened.

For example, people who claim to no longer be KJ's still being extremely concerned with Sound Choice and their products/actions.

Weird isn't it.

Goodbye TLR

The Lone Ranger is no longer with us.

I'm not sure I would agree that he was always or even usually respectful, but as I have previously stated I would prefer that people not be banned.

Mods and Admins here feel the same way.

However, sometimes, things happen.
And just for the record, a ban never happens without several warnings, and much discussion.

I'm sure that's how it works. Having moderated a public message board before, I know it's a thankless job.

However, some people get the idea that I'm behind bannings (or that SC is), when we are not.

BASIC RULES:

* [NEW!] It is required that you have an email address listed in your profile. This is not visible to others if you check the box. (If there isn't an email address listed it causes multiple scripting errors!

* The Forums are never to be used to advertise or promote anything or anyone.

* The Forums are for the purpose of exchanging useful information and ideas.

* It is ok to gently tease someone you know when you're are sure they can take it but please - no personal insults or attacks.

* All posts should be suitable for reading by minors.

* Disagreement, debate and even good-natured argument is ok... flaming is not.
This includes posts that are "anti" the admins... we can take criticism but we won't put up with personal insults.

* DO NOT discuss illegal methods of obtaining programs, tracks, etc.

* Though we will listen to your ideas and are happy to let you disagree with us, this is not a democracy. The buck stops with us admins so we must have the final say.

* Some posts or threads maybe deleted or edited. If you would like to know why, please contact us.

* It is mandatory that you have fun.

FLAMING:

We love good natured teasing of friends here, but we HATE flaming. This site is a safe haven for all and no one should feel "got at", bullied or insulted.

I hope the following examples give you the idea.

* Screaming in mock horror when an old friend arrives is gentle teasing. Hitting a mate over the head with a dead trout when they are daft is gentle teasing. Pretending to die horribly when a friend "sings" is gentle teasing.

* Making belittling comments about the size of someone’s genitalia is flaming. Making fun of someone’s appearance, their use of English, difficulty with spelling, their sexuality or their race is flaming.

I am very sad to say I have seen ALL of these flames used elsewhere as "a joke."They will NOT be tolerated here.

SPAMMING:

* Make a long series of posts that say virtually nothing

* Hijack someone else's thread to have a gossip session

* Make meaningless posts just to build up your post count

If you do this, the admins may warn you. After that, your posts may start to disappear.

Let's keep it clean, clever, positive, informative and humorous. Let's all have a great time.

No guarantee is given.

If it is determined that permitting the posting of links gets out of control or is abused, Karaoke Scene may revoke the privilege.

NEGATIVES:

Talking negatively about any site only makes us (this site and it's members) look bad. When people visit this site the last impression that I want them to get is that we tolerate that type of activity.

Please try to keep all comments positive and I feel it would be best if we could refrain from any negativity.

If you have a complaint or grievance about this site. Please contact Karaoke Scene via the 'Contact Us' link. They will attempt to assist you with your problem or the situation as best as possible.
