VISION & GUIDELINES OF THE SOUL TO SQUEEZE FORUM

[Admin]

SOUL TO SQUEEZE MUSIC DISCOVERY & NEWS is a forum/group originally formed in May of 2016 for the express purpose of being a place where collectors & music buffs from around the world can come post photos & engage in civil discussions about their collections, favorite bands & favorite musicians.

We KNOW there are quite a few forums/groups out there on the internet, and many of us belong to many of them. HOWEVER, we saw the need to have a somewhat comprehensive site that incorporates a broad spectrum of collecting. Too many of the current forums/groups (if not most all of them) only cater to a specific music genre of collecting. Some examples are: Country Music forums, KISS forums, Extreme Metal forums & Concert Memorabilia collectors groups. Since we, personally collect all sorts of different things from various countries, we thought "why not have a forum that covers it all" So we created the SOULTOSQUEEZE forum.

FEATURES:

We have forums/categories representing ALL GENRES of MUSIC, ALL aspects of the hobby & ALL time periods.
So PLEASE join us...it's free & share your knowledge & photos of you collections with us. We are here to learn & grow from each other and look forward to creating friendships that will last a lifetime & beyond. And the BEST PART...It only takes a min to register.

DISCLAIMER:
RULES,REGULATIONS & RESTRICTIONS:

Please take some time to thoroughly review the rules & regulations of the SOULTOSQUEEZE forum. We expect ALL members; including the moderating staff & administration, to adhere to the following set of guidelines. The guidelines are posted for a reason. The reason is simple, it is so that ALL members & guests can be AWARE of what IS allowed & what's NOT in the SOULTOSQUEEZE. By joining the SOULTOSQUEEZE  you agree to follow the rules & guidelines as set forth below. (NOTE: the administration reserves the right to modify rules at any given time with or without notice. ALL members WILL be notified in the FORUM NEWS & INFORMATION section if a rule is added or modified.)

First & foremost...The SOULTOSQUEEZE & its Administration ARE NOT responsible for any photos, posts, discussion topics, views, emails, personal messages or chat that are posted by our membership & staff.

SOULTOSQUEEZE WILL NOT tolerate trolling or soliciting. By trolling we mean coming into the forum with the sole purpose of posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

SOULTOSQUEEZE WILL ALLOW political discussion & topics ONLY in the BARRACKS section. NO political debate/posts/comments are to be found in ANY other section. Political debate & discussion are generally ALWAYS heated & CAN BE offensive to those residing in both your country & other countries.

SOULTOSQUEEZE understands that inevitably ALL members will not agree on ALL topics & ideas ALL the time. There WILL be disagreements & tempers will flair. This is completely normal, it happens in marriages & relationships....so it will definately happen in forums as well. all SOULTOSQUEEZE asks is that when disagreeing with someone or when correcting someones mistakes...please USE CAUTION and BE COURTEOUS. Also please show or provide links to backup your reasoning if it is available.

We all know how it feels to be told "SORRY PAL...YOU ARE WRONG" or "THAT IS FAKE", it is NOT fun to hear...SO please keep in mind how you feel when told that....when correcting or disagreeing with someone else.

IF SOULTOSQUEEZE ADMINISTRATORS OR STAFF DETERMINE THAT THE COMMENTS, POSTS AND/OR TOPICS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND OR ARE BECOMING TOO NEGATIVE OR OFFENSIVE, THE POST WILL BE LOCKED TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE.

SOULTOSQUEEZE WILL NOT delete posts off unless they violate any of the discrimination policies. We believe that the posts should stand as reference, whether good, bad or ugly and even if they get hostile. If a topic is LOCKED...then generally a reason will be posted in that topic explaining why.

If any member believes a post to be inappropriate, please contact a member of administration, and appropriate action will be taken if necessary.
