Here is a list of threads which are forbidden here.

The primary goals of this list are to keep GG&A uncluttered and to make things as efficient as possible for those looking for help.

The following threads are not to be posted:

Advertising or Promotion Threads
Do not advertise. You will be banned. Since there has been some confusion about what advertising entails, here are a few examples of advertising:

• Starting a thread about your own business, your friend's business, etc. (We do occasionally make exceptions if you have useful input/content, so PM a mod if you think you have something of value to contribute) ;
• Threads whose primary content is a link to a blog, youtube video, press release, kickstarter, etc.; and
• Threads whose primary purpose is to link or promote a contest, Facebook page, or third party group.

If you're not sure whether or not something you want to post is advertising, PM a moderator. We're here to help. If you want to advertise on UG, you can do it officially by emailing advertising@ultimate-guitar.com

"Listen to my clips" Threads
We're sure you're very proud of your new song - go ahead and post it in the Recordings section. Got a sound clip showing off your new gear? Post it in the Ultimate Gear Demo thread. Please don't post threads just to get people to listen to your clips, though. Same goes for Youtube videos. There are places to show off your playing but this isn't one of them.

Settings threads:
Everyone's rig is different; everyone's ear is different. Settings that work for you do not work for the next person. Therefore, settings threads are not allowed as they are not productive. If you really think you need settings, use the Settings Thread

"Vs." threads:
Pitting gear against other gear is not allowed. That's not to say you can't ask, "which of these two wah pedals will work best for my styles?" Rather, do not post a thread asking "which of these two wah pedals is better," since that doesn't help anyone and only leads to arguments.

Side note: "Artist A" vs. "Artist B" threads will be closed and the user banned outright.

"Best" threads:
Essentially the same as the Vs. thread; "best" is an adjective which simply can't be applied to gear. It's all subjective. Again, asking what would work best for you within your budget for your styles of music is definitely an acceptable thread.

"What strings/picks does everyone use?"
We're all sick of these threads by now. If you're really interested, use the search bar to find a few dozen old versions of these threads.


Off topic threads:
Don't. These include:

• Ads of any kind
• Blatant spam
• "Why does everyone hate the (spider, MG, etc etc)" threads
• "Game" threads
• Youtube review threads- don't just post your youtube video or a review from another site. Posting content that already exists elsewhere on the internet in order to draw more attention to is not productive, and it clogs up UG with duplicate and unoriginal material. It is also very often a tool used by people looking to exploit UG for advertising or stealth marketing.

Finally, here is a list of threads which have been made for information about specific gear. Please don't make duplicates of these. If you have a new one to add to the list please PM them to Roc8995 and they will be added to the list.
