Trolling and Language
When my vision of this community first came to me, I imagined a friendly community for any MLBBoards or new member out there to be able to join and have a fun time talking football. It is NFLBoards' policy therefore, to maintain a friendly feel within the community. Trolling will be clamped down on—no exceptions. What is trolling? Wikipedia defines a troll as "someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
There is a difference between controversial chatter and trolling. The former has a purpose and the latter does not.
Personal Attacks
Under no circumstances will we allow attacks targeted at members of this forum. If you're in a debate you should think of better ways to win an argument.
Complaints
Keep them to the Suggestions, Comments and Complaints forum. However, if your complaint is about a particular post, use the Report button. We value your input as a member.
Spam/Self-Promotion
Obviously, a spam bot is not going to read this, but there is human spam too. If you want to self-promote your website, put it in your forum signature. However, we will not allow you to add any links to shady deals, such as "Get a free iPod!". Non-compliance will result in a warning, or in severe cases, a ban. If you are unsure of whether what you want to advertise is allowed, or your means of doing so, drop me a message.
Everything Else
Don't post the same thread in different forums
Avoid bumping threads, especially if you were the last poster
Try to read the forum names so you post your thread in the right one
Absolutely no multiple accounts—we will find out and a ban will be issued. If you have lost your account details, contact me via the main website
Keep your signatures sensible: for now proper rules haven't been established but will be when we see what is "unsuitable"
Also look for rules threads in the individual forums; some forums have their own rules in addition to these, and some do not
