Rules

[Erin]

Please read before signing up to be a member.

- This is a forum for fans of Ben Roethlisberger: let's keep it friendly and fun.

- Respect Ben, his family and his private life.

- Respect each other!

- Before posting news and/or articles, try and make sure it has not already been posted by another member. This cuts down on duplicate threads.

- Take note, contrary to popular belief, members do NOT have a "right to free speech" on a site and forum that I maintain and pay for. Therefore, crude, derogatory, negative and/or inappropriate posts and pictures will be deleted at the discretion of the administrators and moderators.

- If you have a "beef" with another member, take it up with that member privately, via pm, not on the board.


- Harassing, baiting and picking fights with other members will NOT be tolerated. Warnings will be issued and if necessary,  a ban.

- If you post a comment or story of a negative nature about Ben, one of his family members, friends, etc... and later, wonder why it was deleted -  a clue might be that it WAS negative and contrary to what would be posted on a FAN site.  This is a fan site on and about Ben Roethlisberger, not a slam site! There are plenty of other sites out there where you can discuss Ben, etc... in that manner freely. Not here!

 

Picture Posting:

Please refrain from posting pictures that are intrusive in nature (photos of Ben's house, Ben in his car, private moments where it is obvious he is not expecting to be photographed, etc...).

Any questions or concerns, just pm me!

Regardless of what you may have heard:

NO ONE has ever been banned from this site for talking "badly" about Ben on another site, blog or forum! (you are certainly free to talk about him like that elsewhere, just not here!)

However, they have been banned for talking trash about/to the members of this forum and the forum in general on those other sites, blogs or forums! 

The idea of this forum is for members to feel comfortable about posting on topics without being made fun of elsewhere! If you are here for that purpose, your membership will be deleted.

Anyone who tells you differently, is NOT telling you the truth!


Aside from this forum and the site's myspace page, I personally do not post on other sites, blogs or forums.

As of April 6, 2009:

Because of the enormous amount of spam "members" signing up, we have had to activate the "member approval" feature.  Once you sign up as a member, it will notify us and we will approve you, provided you aren't trying to sell us prescription medication online, or anything else for that matter! 

There are enough administrators/moderators on this board to be able to approve your membership quickly.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
