Server rules

Below is a summary of rules you need to follow if you want to have an account on this server of Mastodon:

1. Dogs are not allowed to play basketball

AllPro Rules:

1. Put your pronouns in your bio, CW lewd stuff, and don’t be a jerk!
2. Sports are competitive and rivalries are great. It’s cool to have a little trash talk between rivals, but don’t take it too far and don’t make it personal.
3. Allpro is a place to discuss sports, sports related things, etc. General stuff is fine (if you're watching the game with friends, you don't *only* talk about the game after all), but try to keep on topic.
4. There are a lot of complicated feelings towards the names and logos of certain major league sports teams. Fans of those teams are welcome to share in the joy of sports with us, but whenever possible, avoid the use of team names, logos, or fan chants/displays that have a history in racist stereotypes including the nickname of Washington's NFL team and the caricature logo of Cleveland's MLB team. Usage of hashtags such as ‘HTTR’ are fine. I know mistakes will be made, but repeated or clearly intentional use will result in administrative action

if you think any of these rules encroach on your free speech, well, tough shit. Also, and I say this emphatically, if you're a Nazi, a bigot or otherwise a hate-peddler? Take a hike. We don't need or want you here.
