*Read Rule #1, you will be banned from the Game Thread if you bash a player, NO EXCEPTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________________________
I debated on even reaching out to Freak about this subject however we have a lot of new folks joining us on the Baseball Forums....and Freak gave me his blessing to post this, so here it goes.
I'll keep it short. The Baseball Forum on the Volnation board has been known as the civilized bunch. We intend for the spirit of that to remain intact. The Baseball Forum is known for the game threads and nuances into the game that many of us do not understand completely as well as many poster’s love for not only Tennessee Baseball but in College Baseball in general.
Over the years, this forum has needed very little moderation, it’s moderated much differently than some other forums because of the above.....
I’d like to lay out some general guidelines:
1. We aren't going to bash the kids or coaches. This is not debatable. It is a zero-tolerance policy. This is your warning.
2. A healthy debate about baseball decisions is welcomed. We don't mind you questioning a call or a decision but give an educated and reasonable explanation as to why you feel as you do. A healthy debate is a good thing, all opinions are welcomed, flat out bashing someone for their opinion is not being tolerated.
3. Keep it Civil, no explanation needed here.
Also, a great post from @1RBFjr a few weeks ago:
This is my overall philosophy:
1. It’s a game.
2. They’re college students.
3. No one has asked me to coach at this level.
4. I’m in the stands or watching at home hoping for the best, knowing there’s no way as a player I could even come close to making that basket, making that throw, making that hit, etc.
5. I’m watching for fun, and time with family and friends.
Also, please refrain from POLITICAL post or references, even if you’re making a joke. I’m the first one to throw a politician under the bus but I don't do it in the Baseball Forum as it does nothing but piss off someone else that may have different views……….
