Notice S2 Rules

[THE HCP]

I just want to state for the record that your photoshop skills are really improving. You should be proud.

I’m not sure if you are complimenting my dimple or my sister.

How much did you have to pay that cutie to pretend she’s your sister........???

12. SlyPokerDog is always right.

Was what you did with those farm animals right?
Dollly, the sheep, runs and hides whenever she hears the sound of your Harley pulling up.

Sports Two Rules
1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome.

2. This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other.

3. Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo.

4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another ingood fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed.

5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not.

6. SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it.

7. Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences.

8. Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified.

9. We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments.

10. The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin.

11. We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.

But but but some of the Blazer fans are flaming idiots. I'll not name them. Do I have to spell it out? Okay then, you know I can't spell, however the worst offender's name starts with an 'S' and ends with "ly", just two letters. I also have trouble counting.

Then who is @SlyPokerDonkey ?
Pretty similar meme/RP posting styles.

SlyPokerDonkey was the name given to one of the victimized farm animals that Sly visited. I thought this was public knowledge.

 

[Lanny]

I bid 4 cows for jlprk's mother and 5 cows for BobWhitsittsGhost's mother.

Oh, so now it's the cows. Have you no shame.

 

[Lanny]

You have a good point about people thinking they are you and so i understand now.

However, you took my comment on the liking the post wrong and at the same time proved my point.
Insults are a matter of opinion in many cases.
Do i think he was insulting chris about being bald? Yes.
Do i think that it was a joke and meant no harm? Yes
Coold it be possible that someone new doesnt know the history and think it was a true insult? Yes

You guys are trying to moderate a social environment by invoking rules based on opinions.
Whos opinions?

Im actually on your side believe it or not, and i think you do a great job overall.

But every personality is different and you will never please them all.
The more the no personal insult rule has asterisks on it, someone is always going to think there is favoritism going on.

Thats all im sayin.

Look, I'm one of Sly's favorites and I play plenty for that privilege. You cough up the dough and you too can be a favorite. It's as simple as that. Money talks and cash is king.

Dude, sly could retire with how many fifty spots he has collected from me to not ban me.

You too?
Maybe this is why he drives a Caddy.
Except when he 'visits' the farm and that's when he rides his hog. No, no, oh people, people, not that kind of riding the hog.

From the sheep pen we hear the plaintive cry - "Slyyyyy! Come baaaaahck!"

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Still haven't seen rule 8 enforced. Maybe just remove it then?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I've enforced it twice in the last few months.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I miss all the fun

 

[PDXFonz]

Reading these rules and what they are meant to prohibit, I do believe you forgot the first rule which means you’ll need to adjust the order.

13. When a mod fucks with your post, they will put their name on it, so then they can be held accountable for what they did, and have to explain WHY they changed what you said.

@Orion Bailey
@MarAzul

I feel your pain, and I now understand....

I want to be clear though, no green font.
I understand how iMpossibly tough it is to please everyone here and i think the mods do as good as anyone here could and should expect and then some.
With that said, for me, its not holding the mod accountable, its holding the poster with the edited post accountable. To me, removing posts, or editing them, enables people to toss more bs around and not be held accountable.

I understand there is no answer that will please all though, so my advice Doug, is to take the high road or try to explain what was edited in another way.
Yeah it can be frustrating i know, but if you know you were right, its not worth the stress bro.

 

[Hobbesarable]

We need to add something like Hobbes' Laws or Hobbes' Bill of Rights.

#1 Hobbes is always right
#2 refer to #1 and so on

Ok.

I hope no one took that seriously now that I got it out of my system while laughing my ass off.

I think of my posts and most posts here as funny stuff to laugh at. In other words, don't take it so seriously.

This isn't really about rules but why do I have to turn off secure VPN? Otherwise I am blocked.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This isn't really about rules but why do I have to turn off secure VPN? Otherwise I am blocked.

I use a VPN all the time. There are a few VPN IP addresses that the forum software blocks. Those come from countries/areas that have a high incidence of spamming ads and other BS links in the forum. Check your VPN settings and see if you can change the IP address that it's using.

 

[crandc]

Got into one of those endless circles and no resolution.

 

[crandc]

Actually figured it out. There is a down arrow with default fastest. Below are countries. US didn't work but Canada does. O Canada!
