Aside from being a great place for insight and inside information, Hurricane Alley has always been the best place for intelligent, respectful discussion and debate of topics. While too much is let go on our free forums, I usually don't have to moderate the Alley much...but at times I do.
When we ask that things be toned down or arguments be stopped, there is a very good reason, and we would greatly appreciate your help with that. I feel that we treat everyone with respect, and I would appreciate it if it would be returned.
While I want everyone to be able to voice their opinions, positive or negative, it needs to be done in a respectful manner. That is all I ask. Personal arguments need to be taken elsewhere. With that said, if you ever see certain posts disappear or edited, or if threads are locked, that is why. I'm not saying we are going to rule with an iron fist...but we're not going to let things get out of hand in the Alley.
I greatly appreciate your help and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at chris@insidetulsasports.com rather than posting them.
Thanks.
Below are the message board rules we've had in place since 2006. The are linked at the top of our free message boards...
Forum Rules for ITS Message Boards
- No profanity, racist or sexist comments.
- No pornographic or obscene material of any kind. Any user posting pornographic pictures, or links to such material will be blacklisted. This includes materials within a signature file or avatar.
- No attacking other posters. If you feel someone is crossing the line, please e-mail a moderator instead of starting a verbal battle on the boards.
- Do not post unsubstantiated rumors about players, coaches, etc.
- No repetitive negative posting. Please understand that no one is saying that you can not be critical. But this site cannot be overrun by the same people coming on the site day after day saying the same negative things.
- No flaming.
- No attacks on players or coaches.
- No attacks on message board moderators. If you have an issue with a moderator or have a question about moderating, please send an email to the moderator or publisher. Do not post it on the message boards.
- No attacking recruits. Just because a player may choose another school does not give you the right to blast them, in any circumstance.
- No posting of commercial offers, website offers or spamming of the board will be permitted. All threads will be deleted at the discretion of the board monitor.
- No posting or distribution any material that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party or any law. This includes premium information from other message boards or websites.
- Do not give out your personal information on the message board or chat room. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information (such as your email, phone number etc.) online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. You give out your personal information at your own risk. We are not responsible for any actions that occur if you give out your personal information.
- The golden rule is a good one to follow: Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
To the vast majority of fans who read this site and already function within this rule set, thank you very much for your adult candor and responsible posting.
