This forum exists to maintain the standard of community behavior that has existed on Jacksonville State University fan forums for almost 20 years.
(1) Post like you would talk to someone face to face. If what you type would likely get you punched in the face if you said it in person, don't type it. It might result in a ban.
(2) Keep it civil. Disagreements happen and debates are fine... but they are opinions in most instances. Be respectful. If you aren't respectful, you deserve a ban.
(3) Don't stray off topic. If your post is about something not related to the forum, post it in the appropriate forum.
(4) Don't test the mods. If a moderator deems your post worthy of edit or deletion, questioning why is okay. Arguing after an explanation is given is not a good idea. If you already knew the answer, you are probably an idiot and should be banned for trolling.
(5) Try to keep the language PG-13. Someone's kids might be reading the forum. Recruits and their families likely will. Represent your institution with dignity and regard for others. That is respect.
(6) This forum is supposed to be enjoyable. If your post makes it less enjoyable for others, you are probably in the wrong.
(7) We support freedom of speech and the press and democracy... etc... but this is a private forum. You don't own it. If we feel your comments are out of bounds we will edit/delete and possibly ban.
(8) Airing of grievances is ok on occasion. If all you do is post negative garbage, you need a time-out.
(9) If you are used to a forum that is un-moderated and has sewage flowing through the middle of it, don't expect it here. If that is what you prefer - stay there.
(10) Racist remarks are not tolerated and will result in immediate ban. No warning. Do not pass go or collect $200. Don't be stupid, it is 2020 and you know what is racist and what isn't.
(11) We recognize that there are many different views concerning religion and religious beliefs. Faith is very important and personal to many people. Disrespectful, insulting, or mocking comments concerning matters of faith will result in immediate ban from the forum.
(12) We also recognize that there are many and varied positions on the political spectrum. People are passionate and resolute in their political beliefs. This forum exists for fans and friends of Jacksonville State University to come together for the celebration and discussion of Jacksonville State University and its athletics programs. Political discussion is often divisive and a source of conflict. For that reason, political discussion is off-limits and such posts are subject to editing or immediate deletion. Unlike political issues, this rule is not up for debate.
This list is not exhaustive and will probably be edited or added to along the way.
