5. Lossy-to-lossy Transcoding:

6. VA Compilation Packs:
All well-crafted and thought-out themed collections will be allowed in the compilation forum with moderator approval
This would include posts like:
"Early Boston Hardcore" or the massive "Early German Punk A-Z" collection... or Thombones "1001 Punk Singles" and so on...

7. Non-punk bands:
The moderating team have discussed some bands which we believe don't fit the punk theme we have here. We will delete these posts and send you a Personal Message telling you what we've done. You will NOT receive a warning for this. Please respect the moderators' discretion in these cases.

8. Duplicate posting:
DO NOT post topics more than once. If you need your topic moved to another forum or deleted, hit the 'Report' button at the bottom of the post.

9. Prejudiced Music:
Uploaded torrents that are nazi, racist or prejudiced against any group will be deleted, and you may be warned. As punk can be quite offensive due to its nature, this is a lenient rule, but one that still will be enforced. This especially applies to Skrewdriver. We will also not allow bands that have released recordings on nazi-sympathetic labels at any time e.g. Combat 84, Condemned 84, Section 5, Hammerboiz etc.

10. Metal:
Use your brain - this is PUNK torrents, please don't post metal here. We don't hate metal, there's just better places for it.

11. Reggae:
We don't allow it - we even had a vote on it and everything. Lovely and democratic.
