Hockey Chick Chat Board
Posting Guidelines
There is not much we are outlawing on the board. For the most part you are free to discuss, agree and disagree (even with Admins) on any topics posted as long as you are respectful of each other. It’s absolutely possible to have disagreements with out being abusive and we just ask that you keep it civil – which up to this point everyone has.
We do have some guidelines about some things that we have chosen not to post.
First let me first say that I like to think of this board as a hockey board for women that love hockey. We love, admire and sometimes drool over the men who play hockey but primarily we’re all here because we want to discuss the game in an environment where were not being patronized for being women or accused of being puck bunnies. We are not a gossip site or a Girlfriend site. There are threads to discuss those topics but they are not our focus – not because we think there’s anything wrong with it but because there’s already a website for that (http://www.talk-sports.net/nhl/girlfriend.aspx/Sidney_Crosby) and its not ours.
1. No drawn out speculation on girls the players could be seeing if it is not verified by some kind of proof. What does that mean? It means as we said on the other board – Pics or it didn’t happen! Pics, tweets or a reliable named source. Otherwise its kind of like cyber stalking an innocent civilian without a concrete reason. You are free to discuss players and their relationships in the relationship threads as long as it all remains civil. Again there’s a board that’ll let you discuss any aspect of their relationships – real, speculation, pure fiction- in any way you like: www.talksports.net/nhl/girlfriend.aspx/Sidney_Crosby .
It’s a great site check it out for player gossip if you’ve not been there before.
2. No private photos of family members. Pics from personal pages of the relatives of players that do not have the players in them will be removed. So for example - pics from Taylor Crosby’s Facebook, her with friends, on vacation, pics with her boyfriend, etc. would be removed. While players are famous their family members are not and deserve privacy. I’m sure those pics if and when they come up will be on many other boards – we’d just rather not have them here. Besides this will save us all from ever having to look at pictures of the Seguin sisters – you’re welcome.
3. Pictures of players are great (some are really really great) but we do have a few exceptions:
• No pics of players taken while in a public toilet. You’d think this would be a given but they are out there. I’d like to keep them out there. I don’t care how famous you are no one looks good peeing (god I hope they’re all of players peeing) its also a violation of any normal persons privacy. If you disagree please send me a pic of you peeing taken by a neighbor through a window and I will gladly start a peeing thread with your pic first followed by that of any celebrity you like.
• Same goes for sleeping. I don’t know of any human being who can reasonably consent to anything while unconscious. Sleep talking does not count. I know a lot of people disagree with this one and I know that pic is hot – he looks dead sexy – but I feel creepy and intrusive every time I see it which is my white flag for when I’m looking at something I shouldn’t be looking at. Personally if I was on a work trip and someone took a pic of me asleep without my consent and then posted it say in the office kitchen or on their Facebook or anywhere - I would not be ok with it. I would have them beaten with sticks. I know most people say the pic is not violating his privacy but do you think Sid would agree? Again we’re not saying anyone is wrong for wanting to see it. Just that there are a million of other places you can find it but this isn’t going to be one of them.
Posting any of the above accidentally and without knowledge of our policy will not get you banned we will simply remove the post with a message explaining why.
Things that will get you banned
• Anyone registering an account pretending to be someone we know they are not or anyone impersonating another user in the live game day chats – will be banned.
• Repeated postings of things stated above after having received warnings will get you banned.
• Abusing other posters will earn you a warning and then a ban.
• Sending an Admin a pic of you peeing
• Taking pics from here and posting them on other boards will get you a warning then a ban. Why? Because we don't spend our time searching them out and posting them here to add to other boards.
