Rules
Rules
-This board is a sports
board but is also a place to
BS and kill some time. Posts
should be about sports first
and current events,
religion, and politics
second.
-Be cool. You can be banned
or penalized at any time if
you can't be cool.
-Cussing is allowed and
uncensored, don't over do
it.
-Don't flood the board with
large useless posts (spam).
Current sports articles are
ok. Don't quote large
articles that are posted
here. You can trim the quote
down to reference a point.
-Doing nothing but trolling
a poster, team, or
conference will get you
banned.
-Profile pictures are there
for fun and if you don't
have a nice comment then
keep it to yourself. This
includes calling someone
fat, ugly, etc.
-Discussions about race and
harmless jokes are fine,
insults about race are not,
the mods decide what is too
far, you'll be banned when
it reaches that point.
-Insulting poster's children
who are under 18 will get
you a ban. Leave the kids
out of it.
-The females here very
rarely insult others and you
are expected to treat them
as they treat you.
-Don't insult American
servicemen and service
women. You can discuss a
specific incident.
-When a poster asks you to
remove a quoted link to a
personal picture please do
it.
-One screen name only. All
names will be banned if you
are caught with multiple
accounts.
-Don't spam smilies.
-Do not link or post about
other private sports message
boards without specific
authorization from
UltimateSportsBoards.com.
Post where you like but keep
it off of USB.
-Do not argue with or harass
the admins/mods about the
rules or bannings (this
includes starting threads or
polls regarding the rules or
bannings). When your input
is needed we will ask.
-Debating the rules with the
admin after you break them
will only add days to your
ban it will NOT change the
rule or the punishment.
Accept your punishment and
move on.
-If a admin/mod asks you to
do something please do it,
anything not covered in the
rules is up to the
admin/mod's interpretation.
Avatars
-You must have an avatar. It
must be a college or pro
team from a U.S. league and must
make your sports team CLEAR
and OBVIOUS.
It must be safe for work -
chick avatars must be in a
normal swimsuit MINIMUM (mods
discretion) and the team
still has to be clear and
obvious, must be
non-animated. Colors alone,
coaches head alone, players
head alone, and mascots head
alone are not enough to
identify your team. A
coaches head with your teams
hat, a player in uniform,
entire mascot in the pic or
mascot with the teams name
are examples of what is
enough to identify your
team, you can also just add
the team name in text to
your avatar. Individuals
involved in U.S. sports are
also acceptable, for example
golfers and race car drivers
but they must be involved in
the sport (golf) or in their
gear (drivers) or displaying
their sponsor so the sport
is obvious. Not every
possible rule can be posted
here, if your avatar is removed by
an admin or mod then it was
unacceptable, get an
acceptable
avatar or be banned.
NSFW
***You can post obvious not safe for
work (NSFW) links or pics in
the Locker Room only. NSFW =
Anything less than a bikini,
this includes ads on a
otherwise safe for work
webpage.
***Anything that might be
risky at work like a chick
in a bikini should be
labeled NSFW on the main
board (bench), mods will
move/delete it if they deem
it NSFW
Instant Bans
****Posting obscene/shock
links like Tubgirl,
Lemonparty, Goatse, Sandbox,
Pain Olympics, cat crush,
2girls1cup or the equivalent
as decided by the admin will
get you banned. Posting a
link that looks like one of
the those links but is work
safe is also a ban for
forcing the admin/mod to
check it. This is STRICTLY
enforced and ignorance of
the rules is no excuse.
"
****Do not use image tags
when posting on The Bench,
that means [img] or <url>.
You will be banned.
*****No rick rolls, youtube
rickroll is ok.
*****Do not post personal
information on this board
(full name, address, phone #
etc), FOR ANY REASON, EVER.
You will be banned and
probably have your account
deleted.
****If you photoshop or link
another posters picture
without their permission you
will be banned no questions
asked. Doesn't matter if you
think they will find it
funny or if you don't think
they will care. This
includes linking or
photoshopping pictures from
their USB profile,
photobucket, or other
storage
DON'T DO IT!
