The following policies are the guidelines for all post on the Georgia Cheereleading Vent. As always we ask that you keep the discussions civil! Failure to follow these policies may/can result in moderation of your posts and/or banning of your username.
The policies/procedures are courtesy of the Fierceboard* A post or thread will be deleted and the poster will receive a warning because of:
1) Accusations against gyms and/or employees of a gym that are defamatory and/or slanderous in nature will not be tolerated. Any posts that cannot be backed up with absolute proof, will be deleted. Defamatory = accusations of sexual abuse by a coach, gym cheats at a competition, accusations of illegal activites by a owner/coach/athlete, etc.
* A post will be edited because of:
1) Profanity of ANY kind will not be tolerated. If you post comments with inappropriate language, your post will be edited and you will be sent a pm. The substitution of letters with similar symbols or "bleeping" out certain letters (example: e*****e) is not allowed, the word will be replaced with a G version.
2) Calling out someone's real name if they clearly made it known they don't want it that way. (The poster will receive a warning.)
* A thread will be merged if there is already a similar thread.
* A thread will be moved if the thread was posted in the incorrect section.
