Comment Policy

  1. Please have fun. It’s only game.
  2. Not allowed:
    1. Threats of violence.
    2. Slurs or belittlement targeting race, ethnicity, sex or sexuality, and stuff like that. No hate speech, religious attacks, or antagonism about people’s intrinsic traits will be tolerated.
    3. Personal attacks. Please argue the idea, but not the individual.
  3. Please do not fan-police. There are a lot of ways to be a fan of something, and it’s not our place to say which are valid and which are not.
  4. Please don’t use excessive profanity. Think of it like a PG-13 movie: you get to use one F word every once in a while, so make it count. Also, our automated filter is very likely to flag comments that contain bad words, so if you don’t see your salty comment that is probably why.
  5. This is primarily a hockey forum. Detours from the topic are welcome, but derailing the discussion is not.
  6. Linking to related articles or points of interest is strongly encouraged, but blatant repeated self-promotion will be side-eyed suspiciously.
  7. Differences of opinion are not just encouraged; they’re actually necessary to a healthy conversation. We’re just asking for a little civility and a sense of humor.
  8. We want RMNB to be an open, inclusive community, but we cannot guarantee that RMNB will always be a safe space for all readers. At times, discussions may include triggering topics for some readers.
  9. Removal of comments and banning users is the purview of our moderation team. Warnings may be given, but they are not required.
  10. If you see a comment that appears to violate the policy, you can:
    1. flag it using the icon at the right side of the comment; and/or
    2. tell us about it directly using our contact form. Please include a link to the comment.

RMNB is not associated with the Washington Capitals; Monumental Sports, the NHLPA, the NHL, or its properties. Not even a little bit.
