As a result of organizational concerns, and your private and public complaints regarding the content on this board, we have rewritten the Code of Conduct (COC). 

The new COC clearly defines what is not allowed on the board and is additionally very clear on the actions that will be taken should one decide to not follow those rules.  In addition to the guidance it gives the posters, it also provides a set of guidelines which we expect the moderators to enforce in a fair and consistent manner. 

Our intent is not to increase the moderators work load, but rather to create an atmosphere where posters exercise self-control, agree to disagree, and not act like spoiled children. Some of you may think that there is no way we can enforce these guidelines.  You may say to yourself, “The moderators aren’t here enough to enforce it and will soon tire of spending all their time with warnings and banning people.”   If those are your thoughts pay particular attention to item #3 in the “General” section:

"The Jaguars reserve the right to limit the accessibility of the message boards, to individuals and the entire message board community, for any period of time, as they see fit. "

If conduct on the board spirals out of control with the new COC we will put the board in a “read only” state for a period of time.  Should we have to do this multiple times, each successive “read only” period will be longer than the last.  Please understand this is not something we want to do, nor is it a threat.   It is just the way the board will be run starting at midnight tonight.

Also please understand that these steps are being taken in lieu of shutting down the board, a step several other teams have taken.  There have been several meetings over the past year to discuss that and these steps are being taken to ensure that does not become a reality.

Please take the time to read the new COC by clicking on the “Code of Conduct” link on the top right of this page.   It goes into effect at midnight and pleading ignorance to its contents is not an acceptable excuse for violating it’s guidelines.

Thanks for reading, and GO JAGUARS!!!!!!!!

Why was my thread entitled "A real reason to boycott the Jags" deleted?

It was a true news story about the Jags Foundation making a donation to Planned Parenthood.  This is pertinent information that ALL jags fans should be made aware of.

It was removed by one of the mods because religious/political posts are not allowed.

Thanks for the Info...However, the Jags Foundation is not religious nor political.  Just reporting the facts of what they have done.  It should not have been removed.

Fact is Jags Foundation has given over $250,000 to Planned Parenthood of NE Florida.  The fans have a right to know who and to whom the Jags Foundation donates to.

No, but your post was. Therefor it was removed

If you have constructive criticism, feel free to contact me and I'll take your complaints into consideration.

The original post was just an article about the $250,000 the Jags Foundation has given to Planned Parenthood of NE Florida.  Some of the comments were political and religious in nature so I understand you removing it.

However, can I post a non religious/non political post about the Jags Foundation and their donation to PP of NE Florida?
