Hollywood Cannon
I'm Away From My Desk
As many of you have noticed lately the board is nearing a breaking point when it comes to civility and conversation and with that I wanted to remind you of the Forum Rules. We as a moderating group tend to take a hands off approach when it comes to the board and only really step in when 100% required.
We're nearing the time where that will be required so here is a proper warning and refresher to all of you on this board. If things continue down the path they're going infractions will be given out and your access to the site may be limited due to those infractions.
As always the board policy has been to debate the post, not the poster.
If you can't help yourself from responding to a poster then I would suggest putting them on your ignore list to save yourself the trouble. How do you put someone on your ignore list you may ask? Click on the posters username and go to their profile. You'll see ignore there. Voila.
There's also the option of forced ignores that can be used if neither side decides that being the mature one and not responding is the route to go.

1) Flaming: Critique the opinion, not the person. Personal attacks against members are not permitted. Report flaming, do not respond to it. Counter-flaming is also prohibited.
2) Trolling: Do not make posts that could be interpreted as though they were made to cause an argument or provoke others. Making generalizations about other posters is a common form of trolling. Posting questionable content on team boards, particularly those of rivals, is likely to be seen as trolling.

4) Threadjacking/OT/Politics: Posts that waste space or time on the site, annoy users due to characteristics or repetition, disrupt the site functionality, or cause threads to veer off topic may be considered “threadjacking/OT”. This also applies to signatures, user titles, avatars, profile fields, and so forth. Stay on topic as much as possible. Post new threads in the appropriate forum only. Political discussion is not permitted on the forums except within the narrowly defined scope of hockey-related matters.
