Changes to Community Standards Re: Harrassment and the Rep System

[djb]

Please note the changes made to the D-M.com Community Standards regarding harrassment and the reputation system (changes in bold):


Harassment -- Harassment occurs when a member insults, attacks, and denigrates another member at any time. Harassment also occurs when one member sends Reputation comments to another member after being placed on the receiving member's Ignore list. Even though we realize that sports discussions can get intense, we have zero tolerance for taking an argument about a sports topic to a personal level. For instance, the use of terms such as "idiot, moron, stupid" and other derogatory terms constitutes harassment. Harassment not only includes individuals but also can apply to insults against others teams, players and groups of Dallas-Mavs.com members. Repeated critical, condescending and/or sarcastic posts toward a forum member can also constitute harassment. The inclusion of board members usernames in ones signature constitutes harassment as well.


Such harrassment will NOT BE TOLERATED and those who violate this policy will receive warnings/strikes in accordance with our 4-Strike Policy. NO EXCEPTIONS!
