Forum rules

[ILNR]

Welcome to Candlemaniacs - the official Candlemass forum. This community exists for fans to discuss Candlemass, epic doom metal, music, and related topics in a respectful and enjoyable environment.

Please follow these guidelines:

---

1. Be respectful

Treat all members with courtesy and respect. Healthy discussions and differing opinions are welcome, but personal attacks, harassment, insults, discrimination, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

2. Stay on topic

Post in the appropriate forum section and try to keep discussions relevant to the original topic. If a conversation naturally develops into something different, start a new thread.

3. No illegal content

Do not post or request pirated music, copyrighted material, cracks, serial numbers, malware, or links to illegal downloads.

4. No spam or advertising

Spam, excessive self-promotion, referral links, scams, or unsolicited commercial advertising are not permitted without prior approval from the administrators.

5. Respect privacy

Do not publish personal information about yourself or others without permission. This includes addresses, phone numbers, private messages, or any other sensitive information.

6. Keep discussions civil

Debates are encouraged, arguments are not. Respect that people may have different musical tastes, opinions, and experiences.

7. Appropriate content

Avoid posting content that is offensive, obscene, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate. The administrators reserve the right to remove any content considered unsuitable for the community.

8. Search before posting

Before creating a new topic, please use the search function to see if your question or discussion already exists.

9. Use meaningful titles

Choose clear and descriptive thread titles so other members can easily understand the topic.

10. English is preferred

English is the primary language of the forum so everyone can participate. Members are welcome from all over the world.

11. Moderator decisions

Moderators and administrators work to keep the forum welcoming and organized. Their decisions are final. If you disagree with a moderation action, please contact the staff privately rather than discussing it publicly.

12. Have fun

Most importantly, enjoy your stay. Share your passion for Candlemass, discover new music, meet fellow fans, and help make this community a great place for everyone.
