Hello everyone, I've just joined and I have some questions:

• Do the forums have a search function? I have something to say about the Coldplay website and if there's a thread already made about it I'll post it in there.
• I've made a post but it's been automatically hidden (I don't remember ticking the hide button). Is this meant to happen?
• I've heard from a quick read in the forums that links to leaks are removed from the public forums, which I understand. Although I doubt I'll be asking for any leaked material, I've heard that offers to PM for this stuff also are banned/limited - is this true, and if so how does it work?
• I'll be honest, my favourite song isn't a Coldplay one (it's Love Is Lost (James Murphy Remix) by David Bowie for anybody asking) - is that okay? Will I be shunned?

Hi and welcome !

1. It has a search function, click on the looking glass in the top right corner

2. I saw that and manually approved your post earlier today. It's not meant to happen but we get a lot of spam attacks at the moment and sometimes "normal" posts like yours get caught in that filter by mistake.

3. It's not allowed to post public links to (fresh) leaks in the forums. PMs for leaks are usually only restricted when an entire Coldplay album has leaked early (e.g. when AHFOD leaked a couple days early, or Everyday Life leaked like 10 days in advance). At other times you may talk in PMs about whatever you like, it's not monitored.

4. No worries, you won't be shunned. You will find this is a very friendly and safe place and everyone is entitled to their opinions :)
