Code of Conduct

[Helene]

1. Members are expected to treat other members with common respect and courtesy at all times. At no time is anyone to call someone a moron, idiot, etc. because of disagreements. One can disagree with a person's views and opinions all one wants to, but at NO time is one to turn the discussion or argument, whichever the case may be, on to another member and make it into a personal argument. If someone should forget and in the heat of an argument turn personal, you will be warned by email. Depends how serious an attack it is, you could be locked out if it occurs again.

2. No foul language. Sexual remarks of an explicit nature are not to be made either. Let's make sure we keep this board clean. As a precautionary measure, the automatic "word filtering" system on ProBoards will be used to edit words that may slip in on occasion. If you see *** in posts, it's the "word filter" at work.

3. Allegations of racism, chauvenism, ethnic prejudice, religious prejudice, gender prejudice, age prejudice, etc. based on differences of opinion are NOT to be made against any member. Just as allegations of these sorts will not be made against any member, no member is to use any type of prejudices in posts.

4. Derogatory remarks of a mean, hateful nature are not to be made about any player.

5. We want each member to feel the freedom to express strong opinions and not feel stiffled to express what you think at any time on any subject. But, we expect all members to always respect the other members views and feelings, keeping in mind at all times that the views expressed on here are just opinions of each individual.

This board is an escape place for all of us to come and enjoy spending a little time with people of like minds as we are about tennis. Friends are often formed on boards such as this. If we all abide by the guidelines above at all times, this board won't have any problems at anytime. Let's make sure that problems caused by things mentioned in the guidelines never happens. Let's all use this board for the purpose it was created and enjoy spending time with each other on here. I hope all will enjoy this board and have a lot of avid discussions but most of all we want to remember that we never want to lose the friendly aspect of our board.
