Welcome to the Sports Coast to Coast Forum. This is a new forum which has been created for sports fans to discuss their favorite players, teams, sports. We've even got an off-topic area for those conversations which fall outside the privy of the world of sports.
I would like to take a couple sections of this message to cover a couple of areas which may be informative and of use.
Forum Guidelines
I know this is the boring part, but I wanted to outline a few guidelines for the site.
1. Be respectful of others. We all have different opinions on the topic presented, but please offer your opinion in regards to the post rather than the member who presented his/her opinion.
2. Do not attack someone for the sake of attacking that person for personal reasons. This will simply not be tolerated. Any such comments will be deleted and those members will possibly be banned.
3. Similar to the previous point, please do not troll or taunt other members. Repeated such activity will result in suspensions or bans.
4. If you feel you are attacked in a thread for any reason, please do not return the attack. Instead, contact an administrator or moderator for assistance.
5. If starting your own thread, please try to find the appropriate sub-topic for your thread. If an administrator or moderator feels the thread belongs in another sub-topic, the thread may be moved.
6. Be respectful of those reading your comments. I'm well aware of sites out there which allow comments to contain profanity, inappropriate terminology, violent or sexually explicit terminology, or pictures or links which include the same. We'd rather this site be more family friendly.
Those are the basics. A good rule of thumb is the following: I have a 5-1/2 year old sister who looks over my shoulder sometimes when I'm online. There are things which I would not feel it appropriate for her to see, therefore I will neither post such things nor bring up those pages or comments in her company.
There will be a scale of consequences should these rules be broken including editing, post deletion and banning of members who repeatedly violate those rules. If you have any issues or questions about these guidelines, please contact an administrator or moderator.
Questions, Suggestions and Ideas
1. The forum will start with an administrator and a moderator. As we grow, we will add to those as needed. If you have a question or inquiry about becoming a moderator, please contact me.
2. There are Android and IPhone apps for this site and the forum. The links are on the site's front page and costs $2.99 to download. If you're having difficulties finding them, please contact me and we'll get you going.
3. We're all here to have fun, so it you feel there's a need for a new forum topic, let me know and we'll look into adding it.
4. If you have suggestions on how to make the forum flow more efficiently, let me know. I'm open to new ideas and to making things as easy to find as possible.
5. If you have a question about something on your profile, let an administrator or moderator know and we'll try our best to help you with it.
6. Obviously, we want new members who love sports. If you have any ideas to promote the site and get more members, let an administrator or moderator know and we'll try as best we can to make it happen.
7. Promote the site. Mention it on twitter, facebook, tumbler and which ever other sites you visit. The more members, the more fun.
8. We're all here to discuss what we love. Follow other members and engage in the threads on the site. Feel free to contribute, make your comments colorful and have fun; this is your forum.
