Notre Dame Football Discussion | Fighting Irish Forum - Announcements in Forum : Fighting Irish Recruiting

**EnviedOne** · 05-04-2006 until 04-27-2010

This is the only forum on this site where we ask posters to follow a few simple rules beyond our normal forum guidelines.

These rules are in place due to the frequent visits from parents, coaches, and the players themselves. Therefore it is imperative that we respect these visitors and portray the site in a positive light.

1) No Cursing on the Recruiting Forum.

2) Absolutely NO bashing of a recruit... regardless of his choices, we will not partake in the bashing of a 17 year old kid.

3) Do not post "Premium Info" from other sites.

4) Don't act like an "insider" unless you are one. Otherwise, we will have to assume that your "inside info" was poached from a pay site, and we will delete your post.

5) Don't hijack a player's thread. If you feel the subject matter moving away from the player, you are only causing the Mods more work. This forum is about the kids first.

6) Do not try to contact or influence a recruit on this board. While it is acceptable to relate the strengths of the University of Notre Dame in a general way, please do not cross the line and start begging, pleading, cajoling, etc. recruits to become Fighting Irish.

Not only is such conduct often counterproductive (the school and the football program should be able to "sell" themselves, and the coaching staff doesn't really need your help), it could also be a violation of NCAA recruiting rules. All "open letters" to recruits will be deleted.

7) Negativity about a recruit, although not bashing the player, needs to be handled with care. There is not a problem with stating feelings about a recruit's possibilities of going elsewhere.

However, please make sure that the post fits into the flow of conversation. Opinions will vary following various updates and are welcome in the forums. This, however, does not mean a poster should make a definite proclamation out of the blue or consistently interject their negative thoughts over and over.

If you are convinced of a player going elsewhere and are not involved in the updates being provided, simply read the thread and pass on the posting.

Usually, these problems are handled by edits and simple PMs. However, if you continue to disregard these simple rules, you will be banned from the recruiting forums permanantly.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM one of the moderators for clarification. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
