Hey all,
It's been decided by the mods here, that rather then spending time trying to inform each individual about why linking a leak or a leaked track via YouTube might not be such a great idea on official forums, we're going to instantly ban those who break the forum's number one rule. To clarify: even if a song was played on the radio, that does not automatically mean that you have the right to post it somewhere. It just means a radio station had the right to play the song. So please also do not post links to songs that someone recorded on the radio, until Devin or the label decide to post anything officially. In the past some forums were shut down by labels because of stuff like this, and none of us want that to happen here. So we're on the safe side if we don't allow this until Devin or the label officially post it somewhere. This will keep us all out of trouble.
Therefore, do not link directly to a leak or a leaked track via YouTube (or similar streaming services).
Those soliciting on the forums for a leak will be issued warnings and their posts deleted, with multiple infractions resulting in bans.
Discussion in the appropriate threads is encouraged, and no one is stopping you from doing so, but discussing any final album content in the spoiler-free zone will also result in warnings, which can lead to banishment.
Thank you, and if you have questions about these or any policies, please PM a moderator.
Sincerely,
The HDR Staff
