As zero week approaches and with so many newbies to the board (welcome), please remember that the majority of us are ADULTS, and as such, should keep in mind that this game we love is played by TEENAGERS.
I know most of you are intelligent enough to post your opinion without breaking rule #3, but in case some of you need a refresher on that rule, here it is.
3). Do not engage in personal attacks and/or threats.
This is NOT a smack site. We are not here to air personal vendettas. Bashing of students/athletes (grades 12 & under) will NOT be tolerated. Avoid using people's real names in your posts, name calling and the use of derogatory terms toward others. That attaches a personal flavor that most posters will find objectionable. Try reversing the roles and see how you would feel if someone said it to you or about your child. Personal attacks or threats, if reported, in PM's, open chat, or chat IM's may warrant warning, suspension or banning, subject to Administrator discretion. At 3A Downlow, we also tend to frown upon posts that attack the integrity of school systems and coaches. Use intelligence & wit. If all you have to offer is the tired old rah rah stuff, the vets on this site will tire of you quickly. Be prepared to offer facts and statistics to back up your claims.
Be warned that bashing of student athletes will NOT BE TOLERATED. If you attempt to do so, you will be sent a warning and your post will be removed from the board. If you have any questions or need further explanation, feel free to PM a moderator or admin.
Thank you.
