A gentle reminder.
In addition to
our forum rules, the following additional rules apply specifically to our schoolboy forums. They are simple to follow and we've found them to provide a good balance between allowing discussion of schoolboy rowing in a dignified manner, and our receiving legal threats from parents and schools.
For reference, the rules are:
Schoolboy rowing is the lifeblood of the sport. But we can't let the shenanigans that's coming with it drag the site down.
If sanctions seem inconsistent and disproportionate vs what's allowed in other parts of the site, we make no apologies.
If you wish to post in our schoolboy rowing boards, you must agree to our terms listed below:
1. Use the 'Report Post' button
If you report a post that breaks the rules, we'll warn / ban the poster.
If you start a flame war, we'll warn / ban you.
This is the report post button:

2. Speak respectfully to each other
Change: "What planet are you on? Player X was shithouse . "
To: "I didn't see it that way, I thought .
3. Speak respectfully about the rowers
Change: "Lazy fat bugger with no brains"
To: "Needs to work on his stroke"
4. Discussion of off-water behaviour is forbidden
If something happens off the water, there is no place for it in our schoolboys forums.
5. These topics are banned outside of their dedicated threads:
