I have gotten a number of complaints and rightfully so over the exchanges that have gone on in here over the weekend. I want everyone to understand that by me not acting sooner was not an approval on my part over the personal attacks that have gone on in here. I am no longer Bulls moderator but i am, community moderator which means i am still here for the posters and moderators on all boards.
Here is a link to the guidlines of basketballboards. I think its a good idea for everyone to read them. Read them twice if you have to.

We expect that all members of BasketballBoards.net will behave in a way that's conducive to intelligent, responsible, and respectful discussion. Therefore, we have set some guidelines below, which we expect all of our members to follow at all times.
Harassment occurs when a member insults, attacks, and/or denigrates another member at any time. For instance, the use of terms such as "idiot," "moron," "stupid," and like terms constitutes harassment. Harassment not only includes individuals but also can apply to insults against teams, players, and groups of BasketballBoards.net members. Repeated critical and sharply negative posts toward a team forum and/or team forum members can also constitute harassment.
The above goes for everybody. Posters and moderators.
We want this site to be a place where a poster can come to for intelligent conversations. Despite ones age or what one believes or not believes. Age has nothing to do with being a bulls fan. Thank god it didnt. I have been a basketball fan since childhood. About 4 or 5 years old. I went to many basketball games with my dad and uncles and aunts and never once was i put down or censored because of my opinions and i know they must of seemed childish to the grown ups, but they respected my opions and allowed me to have them. I expect the same in here. We are all Bulls fans. Period. That makes no one any better than the other.
There will be NO tolerance for childish name calling, baiting nor blasting others, this ads nothing constructive at all to an intellegent discussion. For those of you who like this childish behavior, you can find it on other boards. From now on, these types of posts will be deleted if i am made aware of them. And i wont wait so long next time.
Remember, if someone is acting/posting childishly... refrain from acting that way yourself. To the majority of you that continue to post in an intellegent/mature fashion...Lets make basketballboards the best place on the web for respectful, mature and intelligent converstion about the nba.
Now i am going back to clean up some of the mess from last night.... truebluefan
