The MusicHub Library: Rules

[MadeInHeaven]

This is the heart of the website: the place for people to post threads of anyone and everyone related to music, whether it be a solo artist, a band, a composer, an album, a song, or whatever. As such, there are a couple of particular rules regarding it.

• THREAD FORMATTING MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME FOR EVERY THREAD. If you're not sure exactly how to format it, just look at a few older ones and you will have a good idea of how to go about doing it. All requisite information must be included. Mods and admins reserve the authority to edit your posts if there is a formatting issue.
  
• There are no official rules regarding which songs should be posted, but please try and put significant ones above ones that are perhaps less so. Don't be too random with the threads you make.
  

Other than that, I think everything else is self-explanatory. Here are a couple of examples of threads that meet the requisite criteria.

Band:

Solo Artist:

Here is how you should fill out each form:

Pictures: just find something good; Last.fm is recommended, but not required

Birth/Death Dates: Month, Day, Year in XXX City, State/Province, Country (not necessary with USA)

Otherwise Known As: any other names that this band may have gone under during their existence

Years Active: estimate as best as you can; Wikipedia is good to use for this

Affiliated Acts: any bands this artist may have participated in or any artist this album contributed with as a solo act

Primary Lineup/Additional Members: primary lineup signifies the most notable lineup of this band, additional members is anyone else that played with them

Main Instruments: the instruments that this person is the best known for playing

Studio Albums Released: all albums this artist/band has released

As of now, this is all that should be included in the threads, however this is subject to change as we go on.

I laid out some rules for how the different forms should be filled out, to prevent whatever lack of clarity there may be.
