Forum Guidelines

Do you think we should be a bit more specific though? Just to give you mods and admins more control IF someone doesn't abide by the rule and still signs up and starts problems?

I think tsfr mentioned in another post how the "No jerks" rule gives us a lot of latitude. If our rules get too wordy and long, no one will read them. If someone is not pro-sled dog racing, then they can't participate as stated in that first rule. So as far as them walking the line, they've already broken rule #1 so they'll be kicked out and have their posts deleted ASAP.

Just remember, YOU guys are needed to help keep out the trolls. Any post you have qualms about, don't reply to it - just report it. Use the "!" button next to the "Quote" button. The next mod/admin to log in (if they're not already logged in) will deal with it.

Thanks! I gotta run, but will be back later.

Think this deserves a bump up, need more imput from members, don't we.

And MITH you and Mith JR can practice leetspeak or at least you can 'look over his shoulder' and still not know what's being said but you are younger than I, so you can probably learn taa daaa

Actually I think John is adding the final draft to the forum soon, but that doesn't mean they can't still be amended after that. They can always be changed.

Hello,

I made a suggested change on the wiki page regarding the "pro-sleddog racing" part. I just put it in a different order, and changed the wording to this:

This is a a forum for FANS, not detractors of sled dog racing. If you are not in favor of mushing as a sport, or have a fundamental problem with dog sledding activities, you will not be welcome here.

If this is OK, I'll go ahead and make the rules "official"....however the link to the wiki remains active and we can continue to adjust and refine as needed.

Ultimately, the Moderators run this board, and I sure appreciate all their help with the rules.

Regards,

Johncn

Nicely stated John. It works for me.

I have a question......when you say fundamental problem with dog sledding activities.......that's pretty broad....could you explain dogsledding activeties? And how far that reach is? For example, if someone disagrees with a descision the ITC makes...would that constitute a fundamental problem activity? Sorry....but I want to make sure I'm following the rules...may be simple for others to understand....please remember, I've had a TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury, and sometimes things don't make sence to me as they would others....thanks for your patience and time

Hey there,

I don't think that would be a fundamental problem with mushing as a sport or activity, but ultimately, the moderators decide. They "rule". There is no formalized process of appeal, definitions of terms or anything.....at least I don't think those are needed
