The following is mostly taken directly from titanrick. I also took a section NC SacKing wrote. They get all of the credit for this and I thank them for the effort they put into it.

When posting on the forums please take the following into consideration:

Check for duplicates. Try to add your comments to an existing topic if possible. I have seen a lot of similar topics lately. If you have a topic discussing Toronto, don't start a new topic when there is already an existing one. We all keep up with most threads so if you ask a question or comment in the existing thread, it will get plenty of attention. Also - please don't take it personally if I lock a thread as a duplicate. I'm just trying to make it easier to discuss the issues, rather than needing to read through multiple threads on the same topic.

Please keep the posts on topic. I don't see this as much of a problem, but when threads get way off topic, we can create a new thread and keep the existing one on topic.

Strive for quality. Don't start a topic just to ask a question or something that can be looked up on Google in a few mins. This is an important one if we want this site to be the best on the web. No one here knows everything so don't feel embarassed about that. But rather than asking questions like "What does this guy do?" or "When did we draft that guy?", take some time to research it on the web and find your answer. Then, your post will be more insightful rather than asking questions which could be answered yourself.

Proof read your post. We all make typos and misspell words. Don't be in such a rush to hit the submit button. This is a fantastic habit to acquire. In all walks of life, you'll find people respect you much more if you take the time to communicate clearly and effectively. Posts like "wat do u tink we shuld d obut the WR pozishun?" are not against the rules, but they're difficult to read and will annoy most of the other members. The more care you take in forming your post, the more interest and intelligent replies it will create.

Give your topic a descriptive subject which lets members know what they can expect in the post. Don't use generic subjects like "am i" or "help" or "question", etc. This happens occasionally in here. Just make the effort to describe your post in the title. A mysterious title like "Guess what?" may seem like a good way to lure people in, but it creates more duplicate threads and makes the forum less inviting to those who are just reading. They will find a title like "Ellison should start, here's why" much more enticing than one like "Keith Ellison" or "I have an idea".

Never hesitate to talk to me. As the Bills moderator, it's my responsibility to keep the forum clean of problems. If you have a problem, question, or issue with ANYTHING going on here, please PM me and I will help you. I want everyone to enjoy themselves here, and will do anything to ensure that your experience here is a happy one. If you don't yet have PM priviligaes and have an issue, don't worry about it. I check these forums frequently and will see any potential problems before they get out of hand. Also, if you do have an issue, it's always better to PM me. I don't like airing "dirty laundry" out in public or seeing it: it does the forum no good. PM me and we will get things resolved quicker and much easier.

Finally, we're all here to have fun and talk Bills football. If you have a negative comment, please be respectful and never make the comment personal. If you get negative feedback on your post, keep an open mind and don't get defensive. We're unique here in that we promote respect and intelligent conversation. Arguments don't add anything positive.

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work!

Also please don't quote the first post! My biggest pet peeve. When you reply everyone assumes you are replying to the first post.
