1. Personal Attacks/Family shots will not be tolerated on this board. If you don't like what someone has to say then don't read it or post why you think they are wrong. Posts where members start calling each other names will be deleted and the members risk losing their posting privileges. This may be different from many other boards that you are used to.

2. Profanity. Let's keep it somewhat clean in here. We have women and some younger members and I think we can be creative enough in our adjectives while still keeping it clean. "F-Bombs" will absolutely not be tolerated.

3. Fans of other teams are always welcome here. However you should keep in mind that this is a Tennessee board and be respectful of that. Members who come in here just to take shots at our coach/team are only in here to start trouble and will be banned.

4. No Racism/Offensive content/Porn. Avatars and signatures should be in good taste. Women pics are allowed that could be printed in Maxim but those should go in the pic forum in most cases. If you are unsure if something is ok, then it's probably not.

5. No Spamming. This means you cannot come on here and start posting links of your site or your buddy's site. Links to commercial sites are always acceptable, but spamming fan sites/boards is typically not allowed and never without prior approval. This is disrespectful and not allowed.

6. No copying/pasting of pay content from other sites. You may summarize anything you find in your own words.

A little ribbing is ok, but if your posts consist of nothing but taking shots at coaches, players, teams, other posters, etc., then this is not the place for you. And if you have a problem with content from another poster, then report it, because we don't catch everything. We believe in freedom of speech, but do it with some class.

Lastly, the Volboard is only for topics relating to UT. There are other forums for other topics. If you are unsure where to post a topic then it should go in the pub.

Also, please read through some thread titles before you start a thread. We don't need 15 threads on the same thing.

For example: There are plenty of threads on Fulmer, his coaching and who could replace him. Find those and post in them instead.

One more Item: Please refrain from spreading rumors about coaching changes, sexual orientation, marital problems ect....if you have no proof of such things don't post it....and hearing it from your best buddy doesn't constitute proof.

I'll add another one. If you have a problem with one of the mods on here you can bring it to me and I'll be happy to discuss it with you. Public criticism of the people who volunteer their time to help keep some order to this place is not going to be tolerated.

Please do everyone a favor and take a look at the front page of the Volboard before starting a new thread to see if what you want to talk about is already being discussed. By all means start a new thread for a new discussion or a new angle on an old discussion, but whenever possible try to post in an existing thread.

If you see a post that you feel is out of line, be sure to use the "report" button (

). As many posts as we are seeing right now, it's hard to catch everything.
