Greetings Raiders Fans!  Your friendly, neighborhood Broncos Blogger over at MileHighReport here.  I posted the following post on MHR as a set of guidelines for any fans of the Broncos, or any other team, that wants to talk some smack in 2008.  Consider it an open invitation to visit MHR and get involved with some inter-divisional smack talk.  These rules are by no means meant to circumvent what Saint is doing here at SABP, just a set of rules to follow at MHR..  The guidelines below work both ways, meaning I expect readers of MHR to treat your with the same respect, whether it is here at SABP or over at MHR.

1.  Keep It Business, Never Personal - This is the most important rule.  So important, in fact, I am going to post it twice.  I am all for good-natured smack talk about each others team's, players, logos, colors, cheerleaders, cities, etc.  What I do not want to see are personal attacks at specific people on this site, either "friend or foe".  This site was founded on the premise that it would be a safe haven for positive talk and comment about the Broncos and NFL in general.  I want to keep it that way.  Have an opinion, debate, disagree and move on.  DO NOT ATTACK ANYONE ON THIS SITE or you will get banned.  If you want to have flaming wars with other fans there are plenty of message boards that can help you with that.

2.  Keep The Smack Talk In Fan-Posts - The Fan-Post section is for you, the fans.  If you want to come over and talk some trash during the season that's fine, just keep it over in the FPs.  Some visitors to the site simply want to talk about the Broncos and not get involved with fans from other teams.  They need to be able to have a choice in the matter.  Comments within posts on the Front Page are to remain on-topic.  Use the Fan-Posts to create Smack-Talk posts and comments.  This goes for fans of both sides.  Again, refer to Rule #1.  Personal Attacks in either location will not be tolerated.

Now, that doesn't mean a rival fan cannot comment in a Front Page post.  Feel free.  Just keep it on topic with the post and above the belt.

See, that wasn't so bad!!  I want this site to have fun this season, and I think the interaction between fans provides an excellent opportunity for conversation and debate.  Just try and keep it clean and never, ever, ever let it get personal!  If anyone has any questions or comments about this policy, please email me -- milehighreport@gmail.com

Good Luck in 2008, except for 2 particular weeks, of course!  :)
