When leaving a comment at Hoops Rumors, we ask that you avoid the following:

• Attacks or insults toward other commenters, the Hoops Rumors staff, journalists, or team personnel.
• Otherwise harassing other commenters in any way.
• Unnecessary political discussion. While basketball and politics regularly intersect, we ask that you refrain from using the Hoops Rumors comment section to discuss elections, politicians, political parties, or political beliefs. We aim to limit the Hoops Rumors comment section to the basketball topics covered in the post.
• Inappropriate language, including swearing and related censor bypass attempts, lewdness, insults, and crude terms for body parts, bodily functions, and physical acts.
• Inappropriate usernames, avatars, or images.
• Spam links or self-promotion.
• Personal contact information in the comments section.

If you see comments that violate our policy, please flag them and/or contact us! Please do not otherwise attempt to police the comments – we’d prefer you ignore any offenders until we are able to act.

Corrections for errors by the authors of our posts are welcome and appreciated.

This policy is always available at the bottom of the site, and will be re-posted periodically.

We strongly encourage commenting at Hoops Rumors, but we do have basic rules of civility. Comments of this nature are not allowed at Hoops Rumors:

• Attacks or insults toward other commenters, the post author, journalists, players, or agents.
• Inappropriate language, including swearing and related censor bypass attempts, lewdness, insults, and crude terms for body parts, bodily functions, and physical acts. In essence, we don’t want any language that parents would not want their kids to see.
• Juvenile comments or extensive use of text message-type spelling.
• Writing comments in all or mostly caps.
• Spam-type links or self-promotion.
• Comments about how you’re sick of this topic or it’s not newsworthy.
• Inappropriate avatars or images.
• Anything else we deem bad for business.

If you see comments that fit the above criteria, please flag them and/or contact us. Bans may be handed out liberally by our moderators, without second chances. Remaining civil is not that difficult, and most commenters have no problems doing so, nor with helping rein each other in. We are grateful for long-time commenters and readers, though this policy applies equally regardless of tenure.
