When copying from another site, whether it's news or anything else. You need to cite your sources. It's not hard. All you need to do is provide a link along with who the author is. it can be in any format. We've had a couple of users that were just copying and pasting everything and providing no linkbacks. We could get into trouble and honestly it's not fair to the original source if we don't provide links. Author (url) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lately there have been many glaring problems that have now become huge issues. Alot of wiggle room was left open for along time here and it's become abused to the point where we are turning away good members. Today was the last day. We aren't strict like other forums but we dont want to be disrespected either. So I have revised the Forum ToS. We have two sections here, the Sports forums and the Off Topic Forums. Keep the sports in sports and the OT in OT. Forum Rules (updated 08/20/2008: Use your best judgement. Do a search to see if a similar topic has been covered. IF it has, look at the date. If it was done not to long ago, bump the thread, if it's older then 5-6 months then by all means make a new thread We want serious or informative threads and posts. We dont need want to see the yanks or patriots rule threads. They will be deleted and your posting privelidge will be yanked. Likewise, I dont want to see some unwarranted thread jacking with useless banter as well. Make sure your new threads have the appropriate Tags. Your tags should be keywords that are inline with your thread topic. All sports threads are required to have tags or your thread will be deleted and docked an infraction point. There will be no personal attacks in anythread. Don't agree with someone? Then do it respectfully and civily. There is no warning for this, you will be banned. Dont agree with a decision a Mod made, please dont air your dirty laundry here. Any verbal attack on any staff member is an autoban. Not Safe Work threads go in the NWS forum. I mean anything NWS regardless of how innocent it may seem goes there. Alot of people view this forum from work and we have to respect that or we lose members and someone could lose their job. Anyone not following this rule will have infractions made against them. Avatars: It's simple, no nudity, no pron. Girls in Bikinis are okay to a degree, i dont want to see a broad with DDDs in a small Bikini either. This will be added to as time goes on. It is your responsibility here to adhere to the rules. They are fair and if you can't follow them, then by all means go to http://www.google.com and find another forum. Otherwise, thank you for doing your part in helping us build a great community
