Announcement: Forum Moderation

We have been operating the Maestronet forums for over 15 years.  The  forums were designed to allow free and open discussion for all things  related to bowed stringed instruments.  While some oversight and  moderation is required to ensure the site's integrity, we try to keep  these actions to a minimum.

Although the viewpoints presented by the members does not necessarily  reflect those held by Maestronet, within the framework, we have always  encouraged a cordial environment free of personal attacks and respect  for different points of view.

When discussions deteriorate, we have occasionally found it necessary to  take steps to preserve the environment.  Unfortunately, over the last  several weeks, a few of the discussions have deteriorated to the point  that we felt such steps were required.

We encourage our members to respect the limited rules which have aided  in producing a wealth of information and education for thousands of  people worldwide.  This is something we feel is worth protecting, and we  will continue to do so.
