This forum is for the discussion of sports. The rules are the same as any other part of the forum and you should consider this to be as serious a forum as any other. This means that trolling is not acceptable at all.
This forum is non-political, but that does not mean that the rules are more lax. All rules which govern the rest of the forum are in effect in this forum.
Also, due to the competitive nature of sports, can I ask people to stay civil when discussing subjects such as favourite teams/players or anything of that nature? If I (or any other mod or an admin) see flames directed at someone for supporting a certain team or whatever, that post/thread will be trashed. Please remain civil and friendly.
