Administrators Horton Posted May 12, 2012 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2012 I had to delete two threads this morning. I'm sure the author of both threats thought it was a good idea when he posted them but as administrator I did not. My bottom line is as follows: 1. This website is about waterskiing 2. The culture of this website is to be friendly 3. No one should say anything in a post they would not say in person 4. Subjects or posts that are in bad taste are not welcome 5. Any subject that could get me sent to HR if I said it at work - is out of bounds here 6. There is some margin for horseplay based on the demographic of the average reader, men in their 40s. Example: I didn't think anyone here is offended by pictures of attractive women in bikinis - but even this must be in reasonably good taste. 7. Subjects that are divisive and that are not clearly waterski related will be deleted. An example of this is non-waterski politics. 8. Any divisive subject it is waterski related requires that you use your own name as your login or that you add it to your signature. Some rules snipped from Flickr • Do play nice.

Administrators Horton Posted May 12, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2012 @Bulldog Thank you for being a part of it. The site would be nothing without the Ballers - even the Canadians Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski4xtc Posted May 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2012 The Ball of Spray Rules of Conduct are all the reasons why this is the very best website and resource for water skiing! Thanks John for keeping it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted May 12, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2012 Rule number 1, there are no rules. Rule number 2. What happens in BOS stays in BOS! No Sissies allowed! Sorry, couldn't help but stir the pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted May 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2012 OK, you lost me. But I am sure Horton can handle it. I'm also sure he is already planning revenge!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 but we're still allowed to make fun of Canadians and their $40 per case Labatt's right? Just kidding love the site and come here to talk about skiing not to get miffed by political or social differences- that's what facebook is for.

Administrators Horton Posted May 13, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2012 It is still open season on @MS and @eleeski and most Canadians (SM is off the list - we like him) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 That's not quite accurate. I've noticed that Canadian girls don't scream as much as me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted May 13, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2012 I like the rules until the part where I can't bore people. That's gonna nix half my posts! But in all seriousness, effective moderation is the reason this is the single best waterskiing site. Thanks, John, and keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted May 14, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 14, 2012 Rule number 3, Smart and MS are always right, JTH seldom is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller slalom frog Posted May 14, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 14, 2012 What about French Canadians? Is it open season on them as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted May 14, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted May 14, 2012 @slalom frog that depends. I say we focus mostly on @Brent There is no question that he deserves it. If we had some Belgian Ballers that would take the heat off all Canadians @skidawg when was the last time @MS was right about anything except Mrs.MS Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
