Goalie Forum Board Netiquette Guidelines

admin · Site Admin Joined: 13 Dec 2005 Posts: 82 Location: USA

The purpose of the Goalie Forum Bulletin Board is to provide a resource for hockey goalies and those who want to learn more about the position (obsession?). This is a place to share knowledge, information, meet other earnest goalies from around the globe and just shoot the breeze. It's been compared to a hockey shop or a locker room where goalies meet at the end of the day around the wood stove to tell tall tales. (It's actually grown into a large group of folks gathered around a hearth in a rink side restaurant thanks to all the positive member participation). If you like what you see, pull up a stool.

The Administrator and Moderators of this bulletin board have the responsibility to provide a safe, yet thought provoking "crease" for members to visit and participate in. Topics should stay within the subject matter of hockey or other sporting related interests. Forays outside of that arena should be limited to the General Discussions Forum and not stray far from Sporting related issues. Topics outside the sporting arena will be reviewed on an individual basis as to their suitability to GoalieForum.com. Political and/or religious topics have proven to sour the tone of any board and are likely to be locked, edited or deleted.

DONT FORGET: This is a "global" board viewed by people all over the world-not a private, non-public board. Please keep that in mind before hitting the "Reply" or "Post New Topic" buttons.

Please adhere to the following guidelines:

If you feel you will be indignant or become hostile about having your Reply/Posts edited or deleted or Topics locked and removed please do not participate on the Goalie Forum Bulletin Board.

Abuse or harassment through Topics, Posts, PM's or e-mail directed towards Administrators, Moderators or the general membership may immediately result in losing membership privileges or being banned from the board.

Threats of physical violence in any form directed towards Administrators, Moderators, Members or any person being discussed on the Forums may immediately result in losing membership privileges or being banned from the board.

Any behavior on the Forums or board PM/e-mail functions that threatens the well-being and integrity of the Goalie Forum website/BB brand and it's members may immediately result in losing membership privileges or being banned from the board.

Leave negative baggage and past grievances from other bulletin boards at the door.

Keep Posts clean and respectful and refrain from demeaning or slandering fellow participants or third parties. You will often disagree with fellow members, but also agree to disagree and walk away.

Please do not respond to suspected trolls, troublemakers or inflammatory Posts. Contact the Administrator/Moderator.

Registering with double or more memberships and/or supplying User/Name Passwords to banned or restricted members may immediately result in losing membership privileges or being banned from the board.

Non-participation on the Forums and not logging-on for several months may result in membership and membership privileges being removed or deleted to save server/bandwidth space.

Please refrain from selling items on the Forums other than in the Goalie Equipment for Sale Forum, promoting competing bulletin boards and blatant self-promotion of other websites, businesses and services.

If at any time you feel that the Goalie forum and it's moderating practices are not suited for you please contact the administrator to arrange the deletion of your membership. There are a plethora of other sporting websites/BB's available to fit anyones tastes.

Summary: The Administrator & Moderators reserve the right to edit and remove Replies as well as lock and delete Topics that are deemed inappropriate, indecent, mean-spirited, malicious, slanderous, threaten the well-being of the site/BB or do not reflect the spirit and brand of the Goalie Forum Bulletin Board. We reserve the right to restrict Membership privileges, delete memberships and ban members if deemed necessary.

Now get off the goal line and have some fun. Smile
