Guidelines

Rules, by their very nature, are hard to impose on a social setting, because of their rigidity, they fail to accommodate circumstance and the variation of personalities. For this reason our Guidelines are based more on Values and Principles than hard and fast rules. Though, as a Primary Tenet, the continual, repeated use of ahominem or personal attacks is frowned upon, whether in posts, private messages or emails sent through the site's software.

 

An ad-hominem is defined as an attack on one's character involving insults or belittling one's character in order to invalidate one's argument. With that said, we understand that the nature of sports and competition can be emotional and that fans can be quite passionate. With this in mind, it should be understood and expected that if you are being an idiot, you are going to be told, you're an idiot. There is however a fine line between use and abuse. Usage is fine, abuse is not. Do not abuse your fellow members.

 

If you're looking, or not looking, to be shown the door, abuse will get you there rather quickly.

With this in mind, our goal is to maintain a balance of the Primary Objective, keeping a warm, relaxing, welcoming atmosphere and providing support as needed.

*Administrative*

 

Violence - Violence is any attitude, word, or action that threatens or destroys the human dignity of a human person or groups of persons. We neither condone nor advocate the use of threats upon any individual (private or otherwise), religion, political affiliation, cultural background or organization. Any mention of potential assassination (real or imagined) is strictly forbidden and will be subject to summarily being deleted.

 

Additionally, You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this website to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. Actions such as these and the like will be subject to an instant ban from this site. Don't do it.

 

For the most part, profanity is a linguistic like all other linguistics and necessary to properly display one's meaning. However, it can be very offensive to some and as such, we're trusting that you can and will find other ways to get your point across.

 

When posting a link, post no more than 50% of the article. A link to the article is required, otherwise your posting will be subject to immediate deletion. Also, please try to avoid posting blind links (posting nothing but a url) as most will not open them, this applies to videos too. A simple description will suffice.
