Hokie Haven Board Rules

* Don't use profanity

* Don't personally attack other posters, student-athletes, and coaches

* If you see something that you feel violates one of those standards,
email me at TimJo1@xxxxxxxxxxxx I am not on here 24 hours a day and
keeping a thread in which people are profane or using personal attacks
at the top only serves to fuel the flames.

* If you don't like the way the site is moderated email me to discuss
it.

* If you find yourself banned, email me to discuss it.

* As a guest of HokieHaven or a long time subscriber you do not have
free reign to say anything you so choose. Posts should be free of
profanity and personal insults.
