1. The First Commandment Rule
The Admins are The Lord, your God. Thou shalt worship no other gods before them. Thou shalt not question proclamations or decisions made by God. Who do you think you are anyway, Martin Luther? Do you want a happy God or a vengeful God?
2. The Schadenfreude Rule
Any threads directly related to bad news pertaining to another college basketball program shall be permitted on the main Hoyatalk board for as long as people want to celebrate the misery of others.
3. The "I Love The 80s" Rule
All threads related to pop culture are permitted on the main board for a maximum of three days, then shall be moved to Blue & Gray, unless God decides otherwise (see Rule #1). As soon as someone posts something completely ridiculous and indefensible, however, the thread is subject to be moved to the Blue & Gray board immediately or locked up entirely (this is known as the Kenny Loggins corollary).
4. The "Moles & Trolls, Moles & Trolls" Rule
All threads created by annoying visitors shall be immediately moved before they can gain any traction. The list of trolls includes, but is not limited to: hifigator, baselinejournal, dienertowade, snowdog, and any of the anklebiters with anything remotely resembling "WG" or "Pops" in their ID. The Admins shall determine - with or without justification, based on reason or simply a whim - who falls into the troll category (see Rule #1).
5. The Beating A Dead Horse Rule.
It's 2006, dumbasses!!! All threads created to elicit opinions on the Esherick Era, or Craig Esherick as a person, shall be immediately locked. Move on already! Sheesh!
6. The "It's The Facilities, Stupid!" Rule
At no time shall there be fewer than four (4) separate threads concerning Georgetown Basketball Facilities within the first three pages of the Hoyatalk board. Each Facilities thread is required to reach a minimum of four (4) pages in length within 24 hours of its creation.
7. The Mojo Rule
If any non-basketball-related thread is created and reaches six (6) pages within 48 hours of its creation, that thread shall be considered to have "mojo" and will go on as long as necessary. During the season, "mojo" threads will be killed immediately following a Hoya loss. God shall not otherwise move a "mojo" thread...unless He really wants to.
8. The Boz Rule
(Yeah, I created a rule with my name in it - screw you. I came up with the list, I can do what I want)
A thread shall be considered to be "hijacked" when the number of posts related to a completely pointless digression exceeds the number of posts related to the main topic. At such time, God shall determine a suitable location to which to move the thread. Also at such time, Boz will giggle uncontrollably for hours and hours, before descending into uncontrollable tears because this is the only thing he's got going on in his pathetic excuse for a life.
9. The Clutter Police Rule
Before creating a thread, do us all a favor and take 30 seconds to see if a similar thread already exists. Those who choose not to do somay -- WILL incur the wrath of Jack and BuffaloHoya, a.k.a. - The Angels of Death. (Noted exception to Rule 9: Any Facilities-related threads - see Rule #6).
10. The Agent Provocateur Rule
Ad hominem attacks will not be permitted under any circumstances. On the other hand, posts designed to annoy, irk or elicit "Boom! Goes The Dynamite!" responses are heartily encouraged. (This Rule does not apply to those categorized as trolls under Rule #4).
11. The "Lighten Up Francis" Rule
Anyone who has smiley emoticons in their post is probably kidding. Try not to go off the deep end. In fact, even if there are no smiley emoticons, it's a frakkin' Internet message board, so don't get your panties in a twist over anything you read here, or if your thread gets moved. It's just a couple extra clicks for crying out loud!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
If this thread is not moved or locked within a couple hours, my sense of irony will be sorely offended!
