NO OBSCENE LANGUAGE
Please refrain from any vulgar language that may offend other members. Inappropriate words will be edited.

NO OBSCENE MATERIAL
No pornographic material or links to it. If it is not fit for family members, it is not fit for here. We have a 0 tolerance policy on this one.

NO PERSONAL INSULTS OR ATTACKS
Tar Heel Times provides this forum for our members to gather and discuss Tar Heel sports or other topics of interest. You are free to disagree with others, but if you stoop to personal abuse or attacks, your post(s) will be deleted. If you ARE insulted please report the post, but DO NOT retaliate.

Trolling and/or attempting to bait others into a flame war will not be tolerated. Any posts we deem to fall in this category will be deleted. This inlcudes inflamatory comments about other members.

POST IN THE APPROPRIATE FORUM
Please read each forum description before posting to ensure you are posting in the correct forum. Off topic posts will be moved to the correct forum.

NO DUPLICATE OR REPEAT POSTS
If no one answers your question or responds to your post, please "bump" it rather than posting it again. Posting the same question over and over or in every forum will just annoy people and will not get answers.

USE APPROPRIATE THREAD TITLES
Titles like "I Have a Question" or "Check This Out" serve little value in a forum. Try to be short and descriptive when submitting your post.
