DBN Community Guidelines

by Chris Pokorny on Mar 14, 2009 9:18 PM EDT in General News

This is for all users, both new and veteran. With membership increasing, I found it important to outline a Community Guidelines section. I would like everyone to read through this and tell me anything you disagree with. Also, if you have any suggestions on other points that should be added to the list (or if something should be made more clear), let me know.

These are community guidelines for a reason -- they are the standards that you, the reader, should want implemented to provide you with the best experience possible at DBN.

A link to these guidelines will always be maintained on the top left side of the front page of the site, an the top right side of sub-pages.

Thanks!

I share Chris’s sentiments that I excited to see so much more activity on the site. However, you should stay away from personal attacks of other members as well as talks about race and political or religious beliefs. Its Browns football. It one of my vices to forget about all the ugliness in the rest of the society.

All I want to know is if I can keep being sarcastic to Ravens trolls

I might expand “racism” to include other types of blatant and overly offensive prejudices that might stop some Browns fans from enjoying this site. We don’t need to be a 100% PC, highly formally educated, can’t take a joke site. But I don’t think hate-mongering on any basis is what this site is about (except maybe Ravens trolls or the steelers…or Romeo…). It is about Cleveland Browns football.

Looks really good Chris. It’s incredible to me to see the amount of progress this blog has made in the last year. These guidelines are just another example of that. Well done.
