    We hope that the MusicaSacra Forum becomes a valued destination for civil, reasoned and constructive discourse about sacred music; to assist us towards that end, we ask all participants to follow these etiquette guidelines.

    1. Be Polite
      This is the most important guideline. We will not tolerate any abusive, insulting, hostile, or threatening posts about anything or anyone. We will quite swiftly delete any such post and ban the offending user. Using only all capital letters in your posts is considered extremely rude by every "netiquette" standard we've ever seen. It is akin to shouting at people.
    2. Keep It Clean
      Self-explanatory.
    3. Job Postings
      Special rules apply to job postings. Additional commentary following the posting must deal with verifiable facts only (e.g., position filled, bilingual a must, etc.) and not attempt to bias the applicant selection process. Any additional commentary will be deleted.
    4. Avoid Flames
      Every now and then, you may be tempted to add fuel to a heated topic by escalating the anger. Think twice and check yourself. In the event your post is not pulled, it will remain available for everyone to see, for a long time.
    5. Do Not Defame
      Members may not level insinuations of heresy, bad faith, or criminality against members; members should also avoid such inflammatory language against non-members.
    6. Stay On Topic
      The topic is music and liturgy. Discussions within a forum should pertain to the forum in which they occur.
    7. No Spam
      Commercial posts will be deleted; however, it is okay to provide information in your profile and your signature, provided it is done unobtrusively
    8. Not an IP Board
      Speculations, claims, and counterclaims over copyright have no place here.
    9. Say Who You Are
      Real identities are preferred to anonymous posting, else readers are left to speculate, and this can cause confusion and rancor.
    10. Remember Who We Are
      The "About" page spells it out: "The Church Music Association of America is an association of Catholic musicians, and those who have a special interest in music and liturgy, active in advancing Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, and other forms of sacred music, including new composition, for liturgical use.The CMAA’s purpose is the advancement of musica sacra in keeping with the norms established by competent ecclesiastical authority."

    Any suggestions to improve these guidelines should be sent to cmaa.forum.admin@gmail.com.
