I understand that emotions are running high and this subject can really drive a wedge into Broncos Country.  We here at MHR are not immune to that, and I try to allow the community to police itself.  The FanPosts are your tool to be heard; it is your voice.

It has started, however, to become a breeding ground of negativity.  I have always maintained that I would step in, if necessary, to do whatever is in the best interest of the site and its community. 

With that in mind, here are a few rules that will be followed from this moment forward --

• Any FanPost or FanShot with vulgarity in the title will BE DELETED, no questions asked
• Any repeat FanPost will be deleted.  FanPosts that are nothing but Links, with text to meet the 75-word requirement will be deleted.  If you come across news and want to post the link, USE THE FANSHOT SECTION!  That is what it is there for!
• FanPosts that are misleading will be deleted.  People come to MHR for their Broncos news and the integrity of the site will not be compromised because you want to be a stand-up comedian.
  
• Any comments that personally attack any other member will be deleted and the member warned.
• Any post or comment that refers to a player, coach or other prominent figure in a derogatory way will be deleted.  We are all adults, act like it.
• Openly wishing or hoping that the Broncos fail tells me you are not a Broncos fan.  At that point you are a Troll and will be dealt with appropriately.

***IMPORTANT***  These rules are in effect for everyone.  Whether you have been with us from the beginning or are a brand new member, there is no favoritism here.  There are no cliques.  MHR has reached the point it has by being different than message boards, a cut above so to speak.  I will not let us become the RMN or DP comment section, or a message board. 

The above items will be added to the Membership Agreement you all agreed to when you joined.  As a reminder, the original MA is below --

MileHighReport.com is an independent website dedicated to the Denver Broncos.  We welcome fans of the Broncos to come to MHR and join other Broncos fans in talking about the Broncos as well as anything else that interests you.  We also welcome the fans of other teams to MileHighReport and welcome good-natured smack talk that can go on between fans of opposing teams.

What we will not tolerate at MHR is any personal attack on any member.  Have an opinion, state your case, disagree and debate, but keep it about football.  Please keep your comments about the topic at hand.  "Hijacking" a post will not be tolerated. 

The Fan Shots and Fan Posts are yours!  Utilize them to make a point, get involved, or just to meet fellow Broncos fans all over the world.  We are a community, and like any community your are a part of we take care of each other.

Lastly,  please remember this is just a game.  Broncos football is a way of life for most of us but let's not lose sight of what we are here for and that is FUN.  Enjoy the site, enjoy the game and most importantly enjoy each other.

Always keep in mind that most of us are true Denver Broncos fans and we all want the same thing.  Tough times like these, like any in life, will pass and we will get back to the task of trying to win a Super Bowl.  2+2=4, but so does 3+1.  There are different ways to get to the same result.  Be Respectful of each other!

GO BRONCOS!

AS A REMINDER - Below are the difference between a FANPOST and FANSHOT.  Keep that in mind when you are deciding which to post --

FanPosts - In Your Own Words

Every community encourages you to write your own blog posts. We call them FanPosts. If you have something to say about a trade, a game, a coach or last night's lousy lineup, take a few moments and express your thoughts in a FanPost. Once your FanPost is published to the blog's homepage, other blog members can recommend and respond to it.

FanShots - Share Your Discoveries

You know that video you found while searching YouTube for highlights of your favorite player? You don't need a full FanPost—the video speaks for itself. FanShots let you easily share quick hits like these with everyone on the blog.

Send videos, quotes, links, photos and chat transcripts to the frontpage of your community. You can even post that top 5 list you came up with on your lunch break
