Do NOT post premium content / Rules Reminder

[RunInRed 16,360]

A lot of new faces so thought we could just use a quick reminder of the The Rules...

5) No "unsubstantiated" rumors. Rule of thumb, if you dont have a link for it, don't post it. Keeps the goofy stuff to a minimum. In some cases we may make an exception on what's considered a legit source. Just don't hallucinate new rumors. We are not Tider Insider.

6) When referring to an article, give us a link, ALWAYS! If there is no link, then give us bibliography type info, as in author, article name, magazine-book title, etc. We understand that there might not be an Internet link for Callier's December 1941.

7) Do not post info from AU Premium Sites. We are all friends here in the AUFAMILY. We respect their sites and we have pretty good relations with other sites' admins too. Do not make us look like a dimestore version by ripping their efforts off. We are a free site. We are supported by sponsors and donations. We know we cannot at present compete with the total insider information/recruiting business plan. We specialize in hard info and humor. It's what we do.

Thanks in advance for your adherence and support of these simple rules which will ensure the long-term success of this board.

War Eagle!

Update here. Summarized VIP content is allowed. Still no pasting.

Correct.  And by "summarize", it's one thing to say "Jeffrey Lee says we lead for <recruit>", "Bryan Matthews says he thinks we get all three of our key targets on signing day" or "Keith at 24/7 just crystal balled <recruit> to Auburn and says his relationship with TWill is the key."  It's another to give almost a point by point summary of an entire interview or story, just using different words.  The former is allowable.  The latter, not so much.

Also a follow up. Visit lists can be posted after AU gives them to the media Friday afternoon before a home game or event. Any preliminary lists before that which are premium & the sites have dug up on their own are off limits.

There are a number of folks on this forum that need to have an understanding of copyright violations.
