Guidelines, Rules, Disclaimer and Terms of Service.
Welcome and thank you for participating on Crimson Country! The following guidelines will help ensure that everyone's experience here will be positive. Please read them carefully.
Must be 13 years of age or older to register with Crimson Country (A Proboards requirement.)
By registering to post on this forum you acknowledge and accept all rules of participation as outlined below. If you don't agree with the guidelines, please don't post.
This forum is for fans of New Mexico State University to discuss Aggie, New Mexico and National sports in general. It is family-friendly and so all participants are asked to conduct themselves with class. Profanity or vulgar slang will not be tolerated (whether your kids hear it at home or not). Words whose key characters have been replaced with $, _, @, etc. may get by the profanity filter, but they won't get by our staff.
Crimson Country staff reserves the right to edit or delete posts at their discretion! Posts should not contain any of the following content:
- Profanity or vulgarities (dictionary.com can help you find a better word.)
- Flaming
- Constant or nonconstructive criticism of NMSU, the coaches, or players
- Personal insults, name-calling or attacks of other posters
- Criticism of forum staff (see below for how to register a complaint)
- Unsubstantiated rumors about players, coaches, or staff that are defamatory in nature
- Off-topic posts not in the Off-topic forum
- Topic "hi-jacking"
- Multiple, identical posts
- Material that may be construed as offensive, whether or not it is on-topic
- Commercial or "classified" advertising, or other forms of SPAM.
- Hoaxes or other intentional forms of deception. (Subject to interpretation by Crimson Country staff.)
Unpaid moderators and administrators monitor this board.
Accounts and Usernames: Registering multiple accounts is strictly prohibited. If you are suspected of doing this, all but one will be deleted. If this is attempted more than once, a ban may be issued. All usernames must follow the post content rules stated above. Inappropriate usernames will be deleted without warning (no profane names).
Personal Information of NMSU representatives: Personal information about coaches, players, player's family, or other NMSU representatives are strictly prohibited.
Other personal information: Posting of personal information about anyone other than yourself is also strictly prohibited. Violating this rule will most likely result in an immediate loss of posting privileges (ban for life). Post information about yourself only at your own risk. Crimson Country will fully cooperate with legal authorities if the actions of any member lead to unlawful conduct.
Content from other sites: It is illegal to post content from a subscription-based website, such as ESPN Insider or Rival.coms on other websites. This cannot and will not be allowed here. Additionally, posting full articles from any other site is a potential copyright infringement. You may post only an excerpt from the article and a link to the article's source.
Personal Attacks: There will be no personal attacks toward any member or staff of NMSU or Members of Crimson Country, no matter what. If you are offended by another poster’s comments, please PM an administrator or moderator as soon as possible explaining what happened. If you respond in the same manner as they did, you are now part of the problem. If you have something against someone else, please email/PM the member. DO NOT take out personal arguments in a thread.
Personal attacks can be categorized as but not limited to: Racist, Bigoted, Derogatory, Sexist, Hateful or Threatening.
More about coaches: There will be times where rumors of coaches leaving will occur. Please do not post subjective information that may or may not infer a coach is leaving. Crimson Country staff will deal with such postings on a case-by-case basis. If staff determines it is not reliable or directly pertinent, it will be subject to deletion.
Signatures and Avatars: Avatars and signatures should not have any type of nudity or be too risqué, nor are they to contain violence. Avatars must fit in with the family-oriented nature of the community, with no profanity, vulgarity, obscenity, nudity or suggestion of nudity. You are permitted one photo per signature.
Moderation: Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to edit or delete your thread or post without consulting you first. Moderators and Super Moderators also have the right to act without consulting an Administrator first.
Third Party Info: Our site may contain links or advertisements to other sites whose policies may differ from ours. Visitors should consult other sites' privacy notices, as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.
Links to Other Sites and Content: Please feel free to share valuable content and photos with other Aggie fans. If there's a commentary article or news item that you want to share with our members, then post the link and short paraphrase to encourage discussion - that's what forums are all about after all. However, please do not post links with no real intended purpose and/or don't have any "value" to Aggie fans. Don't post some random website address because you're feeling like it. Lastly, as with a post, if the website content isn't related to the Aggies, please post it in the appropriate forum.
Disclaimer regarding comments and posts on Crimson Country
Comments posted on Crimson Country are solely the views and opinions of the people posting them and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of CrimsonCountry.proboards.com.
Public figures, people in the news, and board members may find themselves subject to the opinions noted above.
Personal attacks and insults are not encouraged in any way.
Visiting fans from other teams: We enjoy having visitors from other teams. Please be respectful. If you come on here and constantly bash NMSU Aggies or bashing a certain member (Trolling) Then you will be banned and posts and threads deleted. There will be one warning.
Finally,
Posts that violate these guidelines are subject to deletion or editing by Crimson Country staff. As with any forum of this nature, there will be some subjectivity when determining whether guidelines have been violated. If your post gets edited or deleted, do not get upset with the moderators. They are human and it is not personal. If you deem it necessary to log a complaint about actions of Crimson Country staff, please PM (CrimsonPhantom).
Users who repeatedly violate these guidelines will be subject to loss of posting privileges either temporarily or permanently, depending on the degree of violation.
This is not a government-run forum, nor does it receive any public funds. As such your 1st Amendment rights are not protected here. Cries of censorship will fall on deaf ears. If you're looking for an Internet pulpit, you are free to start your own website.
A note to fans of other schools: This is a forum for New Mexico State fans. You are a guest here and should conduct yourselves accordingly.
Please keep off-topic discussion in the off-topic area (See the Lounge). On-topic threads that get "hi-jacked" may be split and moved to the off-topic forum.
I cannot stress this enough. Individuals who detract from the site through ongoing incivility, immaturity, and/or disrespect for the contributions and responsibilities of others may be afforded maximal opportunities to spend their time elsewhere. I have no problem banning a person for life for not following the above guidelines.
Please do not conduct personal discussions in the forums. The Private Messaging system works well for this.
Thank you and enjoy your time on Crimson Country and remember to have fun talking about the Aggies.
These guidelines are subject to change.
Crimson Country assumes no liability for the actions of individuals who post on or view this site. Crimson Country will fully cooperate with legal authorities if said actions lead to unlawful conduct.
