Although the administrators and moderators of Muse Messageboard will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Muse Messageboard, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By using Muse Messageboard you agree to abide by the following rules:

1. Do not abuse the users on the muse board
   There will be no discrimination of any kind. There will be no posts meant to offend or hurt any other member, in a manner which is offensive or inflammatory. If you believe someone is being abusive or the content of a post is unacceptable, please use the report a bad post button so a moderator can look into this.
2. If your thread is locked and you want to know why, contact the moderator in charge of locking it
   If your thread has been locked please do not create a new one asking why it has been locked. Instead, you should contact the moderator who locked the thread and enquire the reasons behind the locking, further posting will only lead to punishment of the anal kind.
3. No spam
   Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as constructive as possible. Refrain from posting excessively in a row, collate all your points in one post. Unnecessary bumping of topics is also considered spam; please do not unnecessarily bump topics.
4. Keep the content clean and legit
   Piracy, copyright violations, or any other illegal transactions may not be linked on the board. Links to commercial released materials (eg Muse B Sides/Hullabaloo Live) are also deemed as illegal.
   Pornographic content may be linked to but must have a big fat “NSFW” (Not suitable for work) sign next to it so people are aware of the content of the link. The posting of pornographic links should only be used for topical/comedic purposes, this site is not a wank aid. Large images (i.e those that exceed either the width or height of 1024 x 768) should only be linked to as they stretch the threads making them difficult to read.
5. Be polite to the new members
   We ask that you make the effort to be courteous to new members while they find their feet on the board. A new user making mistakes is not a reason to abuse them, instead inform them in a polite and positive manner or alternatively ignore it until a moderator fixes the problem. Abusing new members will not be tolerated.
6. Do not retaliate to abusive posts, report them to a mod
   If you are on the receiving end of abuse then please use the report function. Retaliating in an equally negative manner will only serve to place you on the ban list as well.
7. Do not argue with the mods/admin publicly
   Users may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Any and all enquiries directed at a moderator must first address the moderator in question via PM. If the problem can not be resolved, then the moderator and user must send their positions to the forum admin. An admin will make or change any and/or all final decisions.
8. Search is your friend
   Remember to post in the correct forum and search first to make sure it hasn't already been posted. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a moderator.
9. Do not publish your contact details
   We advise you not to post your contact details in public, especially mobile numbers, you WILL get weird people contacting you when you do it. In most cases, they will ask you if you are Matthew Bellamy and when you’ll be touring in Turkey.
10. Do not register another account
    Please do not register more than one account for yourself. The reason for this is to stop users registering secondary accounts to abuse users or to get around a ban. Therefore if we discover a user having multiple accounts, we reserve the right to ban/delete not only the secondary account but all the accounts. If your account is temporarily banned and we find you have tried to register a second account, your ban will immediately become permanent. If you believe that you have an acceptable reason for a second account please contact an administrator first.

In addition to the rules above the staff at the Muse Messageboard reserve the right to remove, edit, delete or close any thread or post. They also hold the right to ban members from the forum at their own discretion.
