Posting Reminder:

[Eagle22]

Every so often we 'bump' this thread to remind you of one of the main rules of this site. Please read and follow:

Information concerning student-athletes, to include information regarding possible injuries and/or eligibility status (whether due to team infraction or academic standing) are topics that are off limits UNLESS there has been official notification from Georgia Southern regarding those topics, directly discussing individual athletes.

Pay attention to this or you will have your posting priveleges sidelined for a while. Thanks.

Information concerning student-athletes, to include information regarding possible injuries and/or eligibility status (whether due to team infraction or academic standing) are topics that are off limits UNLESS there has been official notification from Georgia Southern regarding those topics, directly discussing individual athletes.

First, there are federal laws which govern release of such information, and GSUFANS.com will not be complicit in the dissemination of any information which violates those laws and standards.

If in doubt, forward that information to me via PM for discussion on whether or not it is appropriate subject matter for mass consumption.

It is a different proposition if you are at a practice, and see someone take a hard hit and comment that they got dinged up. What I'm referring to is the type of post that says "Player X" has "condition Y", etc, etc.

Bumped for everyone to re-read.

Reminder:

Posting discussion around injuries, eligibility and/or roster status is to be limited to discussion framed around releases from the Georgia Southern athletic department and issued press releases.

Speculation regarding these topics will remain off limits, and will not be subject matter for the board's discussion until a point at which a particular student-athlete's eligibility has expired. We will preserve the rights of our student-athletes and we err on the side of caution and the student-athlete when questions such of these arise.

Thank you for your ongoing understanding, awareness and adherence to these simple rules.

Bump.

Remember the basic rules. Might need a new one, quit posting like an idiot.

No religion, no politics and have a modicum of decorum.

If you can't manage those minor things, take it to Twitter or Facebook.

I'm going to be "away" from the board most of tomorrow while I drive from Indy to Bloomington, go to the game (and back). If I have to spend much time deleting/modifying comments just plan on having a self-imposed sabbatical.

I say self-imposed because you (the posters) have responsibility for what you type. I have a responsibility, along with my moderation team on deciding if your comments stand. All have the ability to report the post. Depending on circumstances it can be addressed quickly or take some time, but that is the process in place.

If you feel you need to report a post, it is a Triangle shaped icon at the left of the bottom of a post (in a light blue background). That is the most effective way for the entire moderation team to see a report.

Reminder:

Open discussion for all facets of the Georgia Southern athletic program and Division 1 athletic competition. RESPECTFUL and CIVIL discourse expected.



If you don't understand the respectful part, then here is where you VENT:
