Forum Rules & Guidelines

This discussion board exists for the education and encouragement of the dancers going through the Learn and Master Ballroom Dance Course. This board is unapologetically encouraging and positive. While anyone may view the discussion board only registered users may post. We also expect you to use a real email address. The administrator reserves the right to remove / move messages at any time, and, if necessary, ban people who don’t follow the rules. In posting a message you are agreeing to the rules laid out below. If you do not agree to the rules, do not post. We have a very simple, common sense and liberal set of rules which we expect every poster to follow. The forums are provided as a free service. Don't ruin it for everyone else. IP addresses, user id's and email addresses are recorded with each message. Have a complaint about a particular poster? Contact us immediately.

1. Respect. Treat all fellow forum members with respect. Communicate with courtesy and civility. Intelligent debate is permitted. Childish fighting is not. Racially derogatory remarks are not tolerated. Any talking “down” to people of lesser experience or ability, ruins the whole point of this learning and support forum. If you are repeatedly abusive you will be banned from these forums. If you feel that someone is being inappropriate or demeaning, you can report their post to the moderator. These posts will then be evaluated, and if need be deleted and the posters temporarily banned from posting.

2. Expletives, Rants, & Sexually Inappropriate Communication. Inappropriate communication in these forms will not be tolerated. Your post will be deleted and you risk being banned from the forum.

3. Spam is prohibited. Do not post the same question or comment in multiple forums......once is enough. Advertising posts are prohibited. Do not make posts that only serve to promote a product you are selling. Do not make posts that are advertising products that you are trying to sell.....try ebay instead.

4. Post your question or comments in the most appropriate forum category. If you don’t know where to put it, put it in the “Open Talk” section.

5. Try to use descriptive titles for your posts. Try to avoid post with subject of "help". This helps others to know what the post is about and also helps the search function find the post when needed.

6. Signatures at the bottom of your posts must be short and it good taste. (see above rules) Signatures must not be more that 2 lines long including blank lines. They must not contain all capital letters, and if you alter the text size it must be no larger than the default text size of the forum.

7. Posts in this forum must have something to do with dancing or the dance learning process. There is no off-topic forum. There are plenty of general forums out there to choose from.

8. Avatars. You may upload your own personal avatar to be displayed under your name in every post that you make. Avatars must be in good taste and follow the rules of the forum. Their size is limited to 80 by 80 pixels, and must be under 8K in size.

9. Neighborhood Watch. Help keep this forum a positive, informative, and encouraging place to hang out and talk about drums and music. If you see a post that does not follow the rules stated above, please report it to a moderator.

10. Advertising. This is not your free advertising space. Don’t clutter up the board with multiple advertising posts getting people to come to your website. Posters are encouraged to have links to websites that they have found personally beneficial. But if it is deemed that you are using the board to advertise for your company then you will be banned and have all of your messages removed.

11. New posters. Before you ask a question please check to see if someone else has asked it before, ask our search engine or look in FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) first.

12. Customer Service Questions. - Please direct all customer service related inquiries (returns, “When will my course get here?” etc.. ) to “Service” @LegacyLearningSystems.com and someone will contact you regarding your question.

13. Have fun!
