BigFooty Real Dream Team Board rules
BigFooty Commandments
All posters must adhere to the rules outlined by the The BigFooty 12 Commandments
Linking to external fantasy football websites
All threads solely dedicated to external fantasy football sites are banned.
A link to a resource list is in the next post. If you wish to have a site included on the list, please alert the moderators who will evaluate it before its addition.
Posts within other threads can still refer to information from an external site however this must be done by posting the entire article/page on BigFooty followed by a link to the original. Links to external sites in signatures are allowed.
This board is for discussion. If you would like your website to gain exposure, place a link in your signature and join in discussion with valuable and insightful information, ideas and opinions. You will become recognised and trusted and people will eventually spend their valuable time finding their way to your website. Direct advertising is not permitted. If you would like to advertise on BigFooty, direct your enquiries to the Customer Service board or PM Chief directly.
This is fair, and more than we allow on other parts of the site.
Posting news articles on BigFooty
To post an article you must follow this method:
Board thread structure
Over a number of years a happy medium has been struck between the board hosting an individual thread for every player, issue and question, or hosting a few megathreads where every post is lost in the traffic.
Thus the best (but not perfect) solution is to retain an annual and weekly thread structure for the board which covers the majority of posts and questions. From time to time, other issues will crop up which will warrant new threads.
Annual structure:
There's no need to start new threads all over the board advertising that you need to fill your league. If everyone did that, we'd be lost in a jungle. You are more than welcome to post advertisements for your various league in the appropriate thread on this board.
Trolling
Trolling is defined as:
An internet 'troll' is an abusive or obnoxious user who uses shock value to promote arguments and disharmony in online communities. Named after the wicked troll creatures of children's tales, an internet troll is someone who stirs up drama and abuses their online anonymity by purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, mysogyny, or just simple bickering between others. Trolls like a big audience, so they frequent blog sites, news sites, discussion forums, and game chat. Trolls thrive in any environment where they are allowed to make public comments.
Note: If someone has a different opinion to yours, and argues against that opinion, that does not mean they are "trolling". Posters often have differing opinions. Just because other posts don't think a player is as good as you do, that does not constitute "trolling".
General Rules
Remember that BigFooty has a set of Terms and Conditions. One of those rules is not try and avoid the swear filter, it is there for a reason. Please type the word as it is spelt. If you don't, your post will most likely be edited to confirm or deleted entirely.

Additional suggestions
- The moderators aren't robots and don't necessarily read every post. If you see something that you take offence with or is a breach of the forum rules, click the Report Post icon in the offensive post and it will be moderated. View attachment 48536
- Try not to use 'internet speak'. Taking an extra 20 seconds to type properly will mean many more posters are likely to read and reply to your posts.
- Search before starting a new thread. The Real Dream Team Board has a weekly structure which has been developed over a number of years and works soundly. Please check to see if your post fits into an existing thread before starting a new thread. Duplicate threads will most likely be merged in to the existing thread.
- Keep it clean. Remember that children are present and act accordingly. Vulgar terms, sexual references, racist material etc. is a completely no-go area and in violation of the BigFooty Terms and Conditions. Posts that push the boundaries will be removed without discussion.
Cheers,
Jiska
