Rules Thread - Please Read - UPDATED 23/03/2011

**UPDATED 23/03/11**


From this point on no threads promoting or advertising other websites will be allowed.
All threads should be aimed at creating discussion and healthy debate within the BigFooty community.

Since a wave of infractions hasn’t stopped the petty abuse that has been plaguing this board we have decided on a new course of action.

From now on every case of abuse will be dealt with in the following manner:

1st time offender – 1 week ban from the Super Coach board

2nd time offender – 2 week ban/lifetime ban from Super Coach board depending on severity.

3rd time offender – Lifetime ban from Super Coach board.

Consider yourselves warned.

A few points for posters to remember;

- Try not to use msn speak; the extra 20 seconds it takes you to type full words makes you sound 5 times smarter.

- Do not abuse others.

- Stay on topic; off-topic posts will be removed and repeat offenders will lose access to the board.

- When you see abuse and off-topic posts please report it. While I don’t read every post on this board I do look into every reported post.

- Refrain from replying to abuse and off-topic posts as this only creates more work for moderators.

- Do not simply report posts you don’t agree with; only when they fit into the above mentioned categories or break another Bigfooty rule.

- I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: If someone is abusive and you abuse them back you are just as bad as they are and risk being infracted yourself.

I also recommend everyone has another read of the Bigfooty Rules http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_forum_rules

Thanks guys.

Rule update: promotion of external websites

From this point forward, all threads solely dedicated to external fantasy football sites are now banned.

In a similar vein to the admin announcement regarding links to blogs last week, 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 and so on in signatures is still allowed.
