This is a forum for information and discussion about radio and television related 'stuff' in and around, but not limited to, the Southern Ontario, Western New York area.

If something interesting happens, post about it.
If someone interesting dies, please feel free to post about it. I like obits. I like honouring people who contributed something, and not everyone has time to read every single source on the internet.  If you are not the moderator, and don't like what someone else posts, move on to the next post.  Your opinion on their editorial judgement is not welcome.

I'm not interesting in re-hashing who, what, or why the last incarnation of Sowny is no longer around.  
As they say, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and everyone thinks everyone elses stinks.  So please just keep your thoughts and opinions on that to yourself.

If in any way you don't like these ground rules, don't waste any more time, and don't sign up.  
I don't want you as a participant.

Personal attacks of any matter will be deleted.
What is a personal attack?
Easy...
If I think it's a personal attack I will delete it.
If it continues in any form, I'll delete you.
That simple.
k?

Sign in under one name.
If multiple posts appear from a single IP Address, I reserve the right to delete all the accounts except the original one. Don't be an idiot and create multiple accounts to facilitate a spirited discussion between you and your alter ego.

Alias' are allowed.
I understand why they are important, especially in this industry. BUT I want to know your real name. If you don't feel comfortable giving me your real name and contact information, there's a simple solution. Don't sign up.

I will be approving every participant personally.
You might think you're being creative with an e-mail account or login name but if I discover you're not who you say you are, or at the first sign of trouble, you're gone.

Keep it positive and don't be an asshole.
As they put it over at Quadcities, 'don't be a dick'.This is not a public service, it's not a democracy, it's not a socialist experiment. it's a private forum that users are allowed to participate in. You have no god given right to post here. If I don't like you, If I don't like your posts, either, or both will be deleted on a whim.

Use real names for companies.
We've heard all the 'creative' versions for Rogers, Corus, Bell etc. First time was funny, but the first time was years ago.

It really is that simple.

As Craig would have said 'play nicely' or go home. As Iain would say, 'play nicely or f$ck off'.

Either way, if you don't like the rules, You're more than welcome to participate as a viewer.
