POSTING AND THREAD CREATION:
Language and Inappropriate Content: This is a family-oriented site. You agree not to post profanity, sexual innuendo and anything else similar in the text, or as an image within the community. Any post considered to be in violation of these rules will be deleted without warning. Circumventing the filter by starring out words or letters is considered the same as using profanity. There will be some degree of flexibility as some responsibility to censoring content from minors should be placed on parents.
Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, and/or sexual orientation: You agree not to post discriminatory material or use any verbal slur that targets someone, or a group of people, based upon gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, and cultural background. This behavior will not be tolerated
Respect Fellow Users: When you register, you agree to become part of our community. You will be tolerant and respectful of your fellow board members and any visitors. Criticism of ideas and opinions are welcome, but you may not slander or personally attack other members in any way. Criticism of another member's opinion or point of view is fine, but name calling is not acceptable.
Trolling/Trash Talking: Any topic or post viewed as trash talk by the staff may be removed without warning. Registering and posting on this board with the intention of demeaning, insulting and/or deliberate 'trolling' i.e. posting with the intent to incite or provoke an adverse response will result in warnings or bans applied at the moderation teams discretion.
**Do not respond to "trolls" (inflammatory posters simply looking to provoke other members) or "spammers" (posters selling or advertising something). Rather than responding to such a post, use the report button beneath that post and allow the moderator to handle the situation. All responses to trolls and spammers are subject to deletion. A hostile retaliation only gives the person the attention they are looking for and/or bumps the topic back up to the top of the page. Those who continue to respond to these posts will have a penalty applied as it only adds to the problem**
Thread Hi-Jacking: Taking a thread off-topic is offensive to the originator of the thread and the entire message board. Please keep all posts relevant to the topic at hand and take all off-topic comments and conversations to PM. Personal conversations of no relevance to the forum should be taken to email or pm. Failure to do so will result in posts/threads being removed and warnings applied.
Reporting Rule Violations: Please report infractions to a moderator by using the “report” button located to the bottom left of each post. Please do not respond to obvious trolls and spammers directly and take matters into your own hands. This makes you part of the problem and makes our job of keeping the peace more difficult than it needs to be.
Respect Privacy: Please respect the personal privacy of all league players, management, personnel, and their families. Discussions or photos which are personal in nature are not allowed. The staff reserves the right to remove any offensive posts, topics or photos that are personal in nature to any player or member of the team administration.

Pornography: You agree to nor post images or links containing sexually suggestive material. Posts containing such material will be deleted and your account banned, no exceptions.
Religion & Politics: Threads or posts that are political or religious in nature are not allowed. Unfortunately, past experience has shown that such threads/discussions tend to get out of hand and require excessive maintenance and monitoring by the staff. Threads or posts that are political or religious in nature may be removed if arguments are resulting from such posts.

This includes referrals/invites to join other message boards, communities, chat, blogs or any promotion to a website with the intent to siphon traffic or make a profit.
