	<description><![CDATA[<p>These forums exist to facilitate the community of Christian music accompaniment track performers, listeners and fans.&#160; This is also one of several ways to receive website support.&#160; Everyone using this forum must observe the following rules and guidelines.&#160; Anyone who violates these may have their post edited, deleted, or locked.&#160; Anyone who persists in violating these will have their posting privileges revoked.</p>
<p>Consider&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18</li>
<li>He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. Proverbs 13:3</li>
<li>When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. Proverbs 10:19</li>
<li>A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30</li>
<li>So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12</li>

<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Posting Ettiquette</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li> <strong>Post your Topic in the right forum.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Use a descriptive Topic.</strong> This will help others find what they want to read.  As an example, the Topic &#8220;I need help&#8221; is not descriptive.</li>
<li><strong>If you have a question, research first.</strong> We&#39;ve spent a lot of effort compiling our most popular questions into the FAQ.  You can also use the search function before posting.</li>
<li><strong>If you have multiple questions or topics for discussion, please use a separate post for each.</strong></li>
<li><strong>It&#39;s a good idea to use the spellchecker</strong> before you post.</li>
<li><strong>Capitalization and use of punctuation helps others understand and respect you.</strong> Please do not use Internet slang.</li>
<li><strong>Please do not post in all caps.</strong></li>
</ol>

<li><strong>Do not make personal attacks.</strong> Flaming will not be tolerated. This includes any material which is vulgar, defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws.</li>
<li><strong>Do not post pornographic, sexually offensive, sexually explicit, or objectionable material.</strong> This includes suggestive images, graphics, and comments. Do not post links to any of this material.</li>

<li>Christwill Music does not participate in or condone the illegal sharing of music.  Discussions about such or posting links to sites which participate in illegal music sharing are strictly prohibited.</li>

<li>We do now allow the promotion of other websites that sell Christian music.</li>
<li>Do not post on unrelated topics.  If we need to create another forum for a new topic, please let us know so we can consider that.</li>
