2. No inappropriate language. If you wouldn't say it in front of a teacher or coach, don't say it here.
3. No false accusations or rumor-mongering (this includes blindly accusing private schools of recruiting).

I think those are three general ones that should apply to the high school sports forums. I understand we have a less stringent language policy here... but for the high school sections I think we should try to keep things a little more in-line.

Those are really just 3 starting suggestions for the High School sports at least, I'm definitely up for different suggestions.
I like these rules a lot and think they should be the standard for all high school forums.

It's up to you. I am probably going to stay off the politics board as much as possible. Whatever you think will work best.

Okay, all of the HS forum rules have been posted.

We just need to come up with rules for the pro and college forums.

Just got home from school..so I'm a little behind :p But yeah..the rules look good to me..on the HS forum..I would say something about ANY school 'recruiting'. Not just private schools..I know there got to be some heated discussions about teams such as Massillon and Big Red 'recruiting' players.

Ya, I was thinking about that myself. I mentioned private schools because more often than not they are accused and not public. We should either leave out the word private or say "private or public".
