Here's some guidelines regarding posting music.
General:
------------------
1) Plagiarism is a no-no. If I find out the music you posted was by someone else and you did not give proper credit, I will delete your post and give you a warning. Repeated offenses will earn you a ban.
2) When linking to your piece of music/someone else's (provided you give proper credit to the artist(s)), you may use your/their Soundcloud, YouTube, or any music streaming site which users can view for free. You cannot shorten links using the likes of adfly or bit.ly.
3) As a note, keep all your music of one category in one thread. i.e Chiptunes music in Chiptunes board, but if you have original music, start a new thread in the Original Music board. Just remember to post the title/etc. in the post which has the music in it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Remixes:
------------------
1) Be sure to include the ORIGINAL title of the song in parenthesis next to the renamed version if you changed the name.
2) Credit the original artist by putting their name in your post with following template:
Song Name: "New Name If Applicable"("Original Song Name")
Original Artist: (name of artist goes here.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Music:
---------------------
1) As you're allowed to post works made by people other than yourself, remember to give a direct link to the creator's web page if they have one. This includes but is not limited to deviantArt, Soundcloud, and YouTube. Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and other blogging sites are also included.
-----------------------------------
Fan Music:
-----------------
1) If you created a music which is based on a series/franchise, be sure to state what series and/or franchise the music you are making is for in the post.
-----------------------
Chiptunes:
1) Even if the chiptune is a remix, remake, or a fan music chiptune, it still goes in this category.

Criticism:
---------------
Some words on criticism.
1) Constructive criticism only. No one word posts or posts like "this sucks" or "this is good/awesome".
2) Only post criticism if the topic's owner wants criticism.
3) I don't expect critics to praise people for everything they do. If it's bad, you can tell them it's bad. But then tell them how they can improve it, what about it is bad/etc. There's a line I draw between CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and being a blatant asshole. Don't cross it.
