COMMENT POLICY
Do not post harmful attacks towards others or the site
Do not post harmful attacks towards others or the site
What are harmful attacks towards other readers?
-Personal attacks or bullying will not be tolerated. Stick to the topic at hand and other reader's opinions and not their privacy, motivation or self. Calling someone a "troll", "trash" or even an "ROHbot" is something we frown upon. In the past few months a few of these were tolerated but unfortunately a few have crossed the line.
-Absolutely no hate speech! This includes racism, sexism, homophobia or any other hate speech. There will be no tolerance for this type of speech and therefore no warnings if they are done.
-Please do not use excessive profanity. While this site could be considered PG; we don't want to see profanity-laden comments filling our board. It requires alot more creativity to express your opinion without profanity than it does so with it. While occasional cuss words add to the dialogue please be observant of the younger readers of our site.
-Do not harass, bully or threaten other members.
-Please don't post spoilers unless the topic deals with them. Some readers don't like knowing whats going to happen in TNA before they see the show. Again, discretion is advised.
-If you have an issue with another reader than please contact the staff and don't publicly air your problem. The solution will be more effective and quicker if contacted via email.
Again a good guideline is to stay on the topic at hand and not venture off the unbeaten path. We are understanding of the notion that discussions take a life of their own and sometimes become off-topic but we don't want this site to be a way for readers to take shots at each other.
NOTE: We are respectful towards the identities of others. Because of this our site has low tolerance for impersonating other users by using their names. We request that you find your own name(s) and stick with it.

What are harmful attacks towards the site!
-Please do not trash or insult the site in our comments section. You are here for a reason and nobody is forcing you to be here. Many enjoy the site and don't want others trashing it. If you have an issue with the site, please contact the staff in the "CONTACT" section.
-Please do not tell the staff how we should run stories. Doing so doubts the contributors of the site. If you have conflicting news regarding a story or believe there to be inaccurate information please contact us.
-Do not advertise other sites! Unless it is relevant to the topic at hand an unless the contributing reporters and writers reference other sites than please don't post links.
What are the repercussions of harmful attacks?
-One of our moderators will immediately delete (not edit) any harmful comments. The full comment will be deleted even if the insult or harmful attack was just a line in four paragraphs.
-Those who are persistent in harmful attacks will be blacklisted. When you are blacklisted, all of your comments will go through a filter and will need approval before being posted. First time offenders will only be blacklisted temporarily while multiple-time offenders will be permanently blacklisted.
When blacklisted, it takes alot longer for your comment to be posted. I only check the blacklisted comments a few times a day.
How can I help things flow more smoothly?
-Follow the above rules!
-Report any comment you believe to be harmful. If enough people report a harmful comment, then the comment will eventually automatically be moved to moderation.
-Sign up to be a moderator! This isn't a full time job and you will have to be a regular poster. We have a few new moderators so we only need one or two more. Moderators will delete any harmful comments and it will be up to their discretion if a comment is harmful.
