I wondered if it might help to keep the right people in your community, if you had a pinned post at the top explaining the aims of the community and the rules for participants?

Here are the rules, as I understand them. Or at last those rules which I think are not obvious to newcomers. Rules like this would have kept me out of trouble.

1) This forum is intended to be for professional clarinet players, techs and equipment designers/sellers.

Generally our minimum requirement to join would be: [xxxxx]

When you join, please use your own full name as your username. Add a footer indicating your credentials along the following lines:

Clarinet player/tech/equipment designer (delete as applicable)
Highest level of attainment or yrs experience
Working/retired
Current equipment played
Current professional post or orchestra.

2) Before posting, please search the archive to see if your question has been asked before. The forum is not intended to be a chat room, but an online textbook which we only add to when we have something new to say.

3) New starters with funding: If you are looking for advice, you are welcome to start a thread asking if one of our regulars will give you paid lessons. We do not generally offer free advice to complete newcomers on our forum, as the problems really need to be dealt with one-to-one and in person.

You are welcome to read our archive.

You may also email regular posters who you think might be willing to give you paid lessons. You can find their email addresses by clicking on their usernames.

4) Newbies on a shoestring budget - clarinet playing requires paid lessons and equipment that is expensive to buy and maintain. If you are on a shoestring budget and would like to keep trying, then please approach a different forum as we cannot help here. You are also welcome to read our archive, where most subjects have been covered in detail.

5) Relative newcomers / keen amateurs - if you are super excited about ligatures, please do not post about them here, but go to another forum. Experienced professionals who need a specific ligature for a specific technical setup e.g. crystal mp and legere reed for a big solo on stage, are welcome to post about that.

6) Regular members - We would like to keep the discussion positive and helpful. If you have a problem with something that someone has said, please address that kindly within the thread, or approach the moderators (insert email addresses here). Please do not mail people offlist.

7) Although gear is discussed a lot here, we also very much encourage posts about clarinet music and performance and all other areas, so please do raise these subjects too.
