    I've been updating/clarifying our rules and thought this was a good time to remind everyone that as a member, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for abiding by the rules.
    The single best guideline to posting here is to be civil to one another. For the sake a clarity though, I've highlighted some important rules for posting here below. The full version is here
    Please note that moderators issue warnings for rule violations. Generally, these are 'verbal' warnings with a 1 point value. Points go away over time however, if you begin to accumulate points within a 30 day time period, you should know that your posting privs here will be restricted.
    Also, depending on the nature of the post your privs can also be restricted immediately (for example, we 'toast' spammers on sight). Other than spammers, immediate and/or permanent posting restrictions occur only when, in spite of our best efforts, a member will not abide by our code OR when someone loses their temper and posts with an extreme lack of judgement So, don't do those things.
    RULES
    (1) Each member is allowed one registered account.
    (2) Please be respectful of your fellow members.
    Insulting "nicknames" are not respectful and not appropriate to use in the forum. Even if you think it is clever.......odds are no one else does so don't do it.
    (3) Personal attacks are not Allowed.
    (4) Do not post messages that are inflammatory
    (5) Do not post copyrighted material or links to illegal NFL game feeds *anywhere* in the forum, chat room or on the site.
    (6) No discussion about your use of illegal streaming links or invitations for people to message you for an illegal streaming link.
    (7) Please do no attempt to avoid the profanity filters.
    (8)Please refrain from posting meaningless threads.
    (9)Strictly Prohibited: Spamming, Advertising, Promotional Posting, and Trolling, and Illegal Activity.
    Please do not discuss illegal activities on our forums.
    (10)Selling of items, including game tickets or Colts merchandise, is also prohibited.
    Please note, we advise our members NOT to enter into any transactions with other members.
    (11)Soliciting is not allowed
    (12) Post politely
    (13) Explicit picture in posts and/or signatures is strictly forbidden
  21. Nadine
    I am a Dr. Suess fan and can recite many of his stories word for word. And sometimes, on these boards, the story of the Zax comes to mind.
    In "The Zax", a north-going Zax and a south-going Zax meet face to face. Because they stubbornly refuse to move east, west, or any direction except their respective headings around each other, the two Zax become stuck. The Zax stand so long that eventually a highway overpass is built around them, and the story ends with the Zax still standing there "unbudged in their tracks." (from wikipedia)
    In the past, the Brady v Manning debate was the most 'Zax-like'. But the new circular argument here is that of Manning v Luck.
    It is a pointless and endless and circular argument that at times gets ugly. And some people seem determined that they shall win it. And in doing so, at times resort to 'name calling" and obsessed with arguing with people on the other side.
    Now these names may not be bad, however our experience is that once people start using a 'name', offense is taken and the fight escalates.
    So, please do not stereotype or categorize fans here. It tends to inflame arguments and that is the reason we don't allow it.
    Don't be a Zax!

    Am I on a power trip?

    By Nadine,

    I get asked this question from time to time, as do the other moderators..........and always by someone who has been issued a warning for violating site rules.
    So I thought I'd just answer here. The answer is no. None of us enjoys issuing warnings to members. We would all far prefer that everybody post in a civil way all the time with no need for anything from moderation.
    Why aren't we nicer about asking people to comply with the rules? This is another question we get asked. (Usually this is asked in a combative way so it seems ironic.)
    We have a system here that may give the impression that we are not nice. However, it is our system and it's not going away. It's the way the site works. These are our tools, they are what we have to work with to keep the site up to the standards that our members expect.
    Warnings are issued using this system. When you receive a warning, you must acknowledge it before you can post.
    Warnings have a point value with most site violations having a 1 point value but others have a higher point value (such as anything about illegal streaming. We do mean to give the impression that we are absolutely serious about keeping these discussions off the site)
    Over time, your points will disappear.
    However, if within any 30 day period, you start to accumulate points, you should know that you will experience automatic consequences by way of restrictions to your posting privs here.
    Honestly, when someone asks me why I am not much nicer in asking them to stop violating our sites rules, I wonder why they are not nicer by RESPECTING the community and the rules we have here.
    Everyone agrees to abide by the rules when they join. And while we understand that from time to time people make errors in judgement............there are some who find it extremely difficult to remain civil most of the time.
    We expect everyone to be responsible for what they read and what they post. It's pretty simple.
    If you have questions about a rule or want to debate it with a moderator, that's fine. BUT do not send abusive, insulting, and otherwise combative notes to moderators. If you do, you will be issued a warning
    Do not post about moderation anywhere here (that includes blogs, forums, status update pages, or anywhere.)
    Discussing moderation in public is also against site rules and you will be issued a warning for this.
    We do not discuss your moderation warnings in public or with anyone outside of moderation. We do not conduct public arguments about moderation. If you see someone posting about moderation, be assured you are seeing a fraction of the truth.
    Board Rules Here
    Being a moderator is not easy. It takes time, it takes patience and it takes a commitment to these forums and our standards. There are no moderators here who enjoy the power. Their time is a voluntary contribution to the community and they should be thanked for that.
    Will we make mistakes and errors in judgement along the way? Sure. Will you? Probably.
    But you should know that if someone is a fan.........we do and have gone to great lengths to allow them to keep posting here. And the few times we have had to ban a Colts fan........it is because, in spite of our efforts, they just could not abide or respect our community.
    We have a great crew of volunteers here who are very thoughtful in moderating the boards. We have great fans here who have no trouble with our standards.
    Thanks to everyone who posts here in a civil, thoughtful, and entertaining way. We have some of the wittiest posters on the web I think. And we mean to keep it that way.
  23. Nadine
