It is a shame I keep having to lock threads regarding the pandemic response as it relates to sports. It is a worthy topic but the same people keep breaking longstanding DSA rules. Normally things have self-policed fine...but not on this topic. So here goes.
1. No politics.
Do not devolve a topic into politics. People come here for sports.
2. No name calling.
I even have seen some double whammies lately on the board, political name calling. Nothing is more unnecessary or immature.
3. I hate having to net nanny this stuff.
We haven't had to babysit for so long because everybody has followed the rules, something I think is great about this site. But I am going to be policeman for awhile because I am tired of it.
4. No matter how right you think you are, you still don't get to break the rules.
I actually fired an admin about 10 years ago because he was so righteous about a subject that he repeatedly broke those rules because of it. So let us all please behave.
5. Be constructive, find good things to talk about.
There are always good topics to bring up, even if they are off topic from sports. Especially now because of the sports shutdown, making OT posts are great. I tried doing a Where's This thing with photos from my travels. I will continue to do so. PapaDuck has done a great job bringing up some key historical milestones which I have enjoyed.
Be one of the good guys (and gals).
