Board Rules and Tips
1. Language - We want this to be a FAMILY FRIENDLY type of site. So watch your language, and keep the profanity to a minimum. If you slip up and say something nobody is going to freak out, but it also shouldn't happen often.
2. G.Y.E.R.O. - If you just have to use profanity or like the more "uncensored" approach there is a separate forum called G.Y.E.R.O. for you to use. Just follow the main rule for that board which is keep subject line headers respectable in case someone is viewing the site from work.
3. Be Respectful - This goes towards any of our teams, coaches, players and other posters. This board should not be a hostile place and everyone should be treated with respect. If we lose a game and you want to vent, don't. Discuss what you thought the team did poorly in or choose to say you think they need to do better at... but don't under any circumstance run anyone with our teams down.
4. Discussions - This is a board to discuss Kentucky sports and other various things, so focus on the subject matter of the board. Keep the basketball talk in the basketball forum, the football talk in the football forum and so on.
5. Stay on Topic - Please stay on topic in the threads, if you read something or someone says something that makes you want to take the conversation into another direction then just start a new thread with your topic. We need to keep things as organized as possible and it's not fair to the original poster for you to hijack their thread.
6. Ban Hammer - We don't want to ban anyone, but that doesn't mean we wont. Everyone has a responsibility to watch what they post, so if you post something so over the top that it makes some of our mods take notice.. be aware that they will go and review your other posts. If we notice a pattern of trolling or argumentative type posts then don't be surprised to find yourself banned.
7. Posting Information - If you post what you consider "inside information" then you better be able to back it up. We won't discourage anyone from posting info if it's legit, but we also aren't going to let people spread rumors or made up stuff. If you hear or read some news somewhere else and you want to share it then make sure you link to the original source. Give credit where credit is due.
8. Shout Box - Shout box is now active on the bottom of the webpage. Only registered members can use it, and allows you all to talk to one another live. Please use it responsibly, if it's abused we will take it down. If we do have to take it down we will still plan on activating it during the games as long as there is a mod available to watch things so they don't get out of hand. BUT if everyone acts like they are adults and plays nice it will stay up. Have fun! (this feature was disable because people just weren't using it at intended)
