Social guidelines:
We live in a global culture and time that treads a fine line between "freedom of speech" and "political sensitivity". We here at smashingpumpkins.com will not tolerate any form of derogatory comments or personal attacks expressed on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, etc. Such offences may lead to the suspension of your account without prior notice.
Furthermore, as these are the Official Smashing Pumpkins Forums, it goes without saying that it is unacceptable to denigrate fans for liking SP projects, past or present.



Should you have concerns with an action performed by a moderator or an administrator of these forums, please use the PM system to contact a moderator or administrator. All public conversations pertaining to the way things are moderated should be constrained to the SP.com & Message Board forum.

Guidelines subject to change.
