It might be useful for VN to have a FAQ specifically for the football forums. Nothing long ... the long ones never get read. But keeping it short, what Q&As might it include?
----------------------------------------------------
Why are people using blue text? Blue text means "sarcasm intended". Sarcasm can be difficult to detect in writing, so folks here often use blue text to replicate the smile, smirk, wink, or ironic tone of voice. If you see blue text, approach with a sense of humor.
Why are people yelling at me about this thread title? Please never title a thread with just a player's name. Many will assume the worst (player badly injured, or such). Always best to indicate the direction of the thread in the title, like: "Fred Jones Puts on 20 Pounds, Gonna be Beast!".
What's up with Josh's eyebrows? Josh Dobbs has an autoimmune disease, Alopecia areata. That is why he does not grow eyebrows. It is no big deal, but don't be rude or childish about it. If you want to learn a bit more, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_areata .
Why am I being ignored? Please do not "sneak in" political or religious jabs. Let's just talk football. All here are Vol fans (plus a few mostly-friendly rivals). Some have strong political or religious views, which is perfectly fine. But this is just not the place to express them.
Who the heck is Rod Wilkes? Rumor has it that he was a recruit from Smyrna High School back in 2008 ( http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-recruiting/26736-another-rod-wilkes-update.html ). Whether that's true or not, today he is VolNation's Chuck Norris...only better.
How do you embed a YouTube video? Try this string, after taking out all $ symbols (the $ symbols keep the string from trying to work in this FAQ): [you$tube]https://www$.rest-of-link-copy-pasted-here[/you$tube]
