Guidelines

Hello & welcome to Atlantic Canada Rocks, your source for all things concerts on the East Coast.

Atlantic Canada Rocks is an OPEN community where fans can discuss the latest concert news with fellow East Coast residents. Discussion outside of these topics may be subject to removal.

An open community is defined as a place where all are welcome, with no “account” barriers. This brings responsibility to our readers to keep Atlantic Canada Rocks a great place to be on the web.

If you do not abide by these guidelines, Atlantic Canada Rocks reserves the right to edit or remove your post(s). Atlantic Canada Rocks may also ban you from posting and/or accessing the community altogether.

Many websites will present you with a long, complicated terms of service document. In our case, we have only five points we would like readers to follow.

Play the “G” chord 

Any content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, vulgar, hateful or distasteful in nature is prohibited and will be removed. Please keep vulgar/adult language to a minimum as many visitors may not be age of majority.

Any content, including pictures or links to pictures, that are of an inappropriate nature will not be permitted/tolerated. What is considered overly sexual or potentially offensive will be determined at our discretion.

We have ZERO tolerance for racial, ethnic, religious, or any other discriminatory slurs.

Retain the beat 

As we mentioned above, Atlantic Canada Rocks is a CONCERT community focused on news and discussion. Any off topic comments/posts may be subject to removal.

Any form of unauthorized advertising or soliciting members or commercial website linking is strictly prohibited. This also includes, but is not limited to advertising with the intent to ‘help people’, or to provide ‘free’ products or services.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Revealing personal information such as full names, mailing address or other information that is invasive of another’s privacy without their express consent is prohibited.

Continued threats against a reader, moderator or administrator will NOT be tolerated. If you’re debating with another member, respond to the subject, not the person: It’s ok to disagree, it’s not ok to be rude.

Don’t forget to turn off the faucet

Please post your idea or comment only once. Multiple or duplicate postings or attempts to flood the community with posts will be removed. We are pretty much surrounded by water, we should spend more time worrying about our basements.

Trolls, stay under your bridge! 

Spirited discussion is encouraged, but flaming and trolling is not allowed. “Flames” are hostile or disruptive posts, or messages intended to incite an angry response. And “trolling” is posting an intentionally contrary opinion to incite argumentative response.

In the midst of a passionate discussion you may sometimes be inclined to say something that on reflection you will regret. If your comments don’t further a productive dialogue with others who may not share your opinions, then you should reconsider posting.

Everyone that uses Atlantic Canada Rocks wants to have a good time. Please follow these guidelines to ensure harmony for you and other readers.

If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact: news@atlanticcanadarocks.ca.

Rock on,

Team Atlantic Canada Rocks
