***FORUM RULES: READ BEFORE POSTING***

[[rules]] The Report Feature 49erswebzone.com now features a "Report" button, which is located at the bottom of each post, next to the quote and PM buttons. This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. The report button should not be used just because you don't get along with someone or you disagree with them, unless within the dialogue there has been a blatant disregard for the rules. Please refrain from using the report button as a joke. On our end the report does show who made the report, at what time, etc. and any abuse of the report system may result in a warning and/or banning. The Blocking Feature You will be permitted to block posts of up to 20 members. To access this feature, access a user's profile page by clicking on their name. When you arrive on their profile page, there will be a button on the left hand side labeled, "Hide Posts by". Once clicked it will have hidden that users posts for you. To take someone off of the Hidden Users list, access the Members Area which can be found near the top of the page. Once in the Members Area, on the left hand side under Sections, you will see a "Hide Posts by Users" link, if you click this it will bring up a list of users currently being hidden. Select the user or users that you wish to remove from your Hidden list, click "Remove from Hidden List", and that user's posts will no longer be hidden. Listed below are instructions for using some of the functions in the toolbar at the top of the Reply section - Insert a Link 1. Select and Copy the link (URL) of the webpage to be linked. (Control+C for PC, Command+C for Mac) 2. In the Reply section, type the text that will contain the link i. It can be a single word or a text string. 3. Select the text created in Step 2. 4. Press the 'Insert/edit link' button. 5. Paste the link from Step 1 into the pop up window. (Control+V for PC, Command+V for Mac). Click 'OK'. . . . - Post an image from the web 1. Right click the image to be posted. 2. Select the option, 'Copy image address'. This will copy the link of the image to the clipboard (not seen). 3. In the Reply section, press the button 'Insert/edit image'. 4. Paste the URL of the image into the pop up window. Click 'OK'. . . . - Post a YouTube clip 1. Select and Copy the URL of the clip. 2.

During games, there will be a Game Day thread where users who do not feel like entering the chat can still post. The thread is for all game day related comments. Please do not start new threads that are just comments as they will be deleted and the user warned. Analysis, though, can be in it's own thread.

This is entirely too vague.

If you're going to make this a warnable offense on top of deleting the post, you need to set forth what exactly constitutes "comment" and what constitutes "analysis."

It is entirely possible for a comment to be analysis and for an analysis to be a comment.

This is exactly the type of thing I was talking about in our huge debate a few days ago. The vaguery is what leads to moderator abuse of power and miscommunication with the members. The mere act of posting the rules, by itself, does not constitute fairness or good policy. The act of setting forth rules that are easily understandable and easily interpreted, as well as easily applied, is good policy.

Virgin sacrifice, generally...exceptions can be made if you have an aversion to sacrificing a virgin, in which case a goat (not TheGOAT, however) may be substituted...

LMAO, another alternative may be having compromising pictures of an existing moderator. In that case they will make you a junior moderator until you warn 50% of the existing members, then you get promoted to full scale big-boi moderator.
