Welcome to Rock M+, a subscriber supported Message Board for fans of the University of Missouri Athletics, and brought to you by the folks at RockMNation.com! We’re glad you’re here.
Rock M+ is a place where Mizzou fans from all backgrounds gather to share their passion for the Mizzou teams they love (although we’ll gladly welcome respectful fans from other fan bases). We are striving to create a fun and welcoming place for everyone to come nerd out about Mizzou sports with us. The following guidelines should help ensure that happens:
Be respectful in your interactions with contributors and fellow fans.
Don’t be a jerk, and don’t call other people jerks.
We’ll remove anything we see that jeopardizes our communities.
You can help with that. If you see something that doesn’t align with our guidelines, let us know. Report any comments or usernames that violate our guidelines so our moderators can review them.
We do not allow any of the following:
Personal attacks: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, hurtful comments about someone’s appearance, voice, or style, and all other forms of attacks. We want our communities to be welcoming and fun. Personal attacks are the opposite of that.
Attacks on staffers: It’s fine to critique a post, disagree with a take, or point out errors. We draw the line, however, at personal attacks (see above) about writers, editors, moderators, etc.
Discriminatory or derogatory language: This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination.
Harassment: This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention.
Wishing harm on athletes: Don’t root for an injury, don’t root for harm to befall a coach or athlete. You can want someone to get fired or released, but please do not hope for bodily harm.
Misinformation and disinformation: Sharing demonstrably false information about news or world events, beyond the scope of reasonable sports opinion or analysis, can be harmful to our communities. These comments will be removed and may result in a suspension or a ban.
Illegal activity: Don’t promote, encourage, or make light of any kind of illegal activity, including DUIs, domestic violence, or sexual assault.
NSFW images and comments: Keep it PG-13, or you will be removed. This includes language and images that are sexual, violent, or generally offensive in nature.
Excessive profanity: Fans get worked up on game days, and we’re fans, too. We understand that. As a general rule, keep profanity to a minimum. Some profanity can be warranted, we’re all human beings here too but please do your best to keep it to a minimum.
Multiple accounts and throwaway emails: These are a signal that you’re not interested in being a productive member of our communities, and we do not allow it.
Trolling: We know it when we see it, and we’ll remove it. Moreover, you should never publish any private or personally identifiable information. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
The “first post” rule: This is a big carryover from the SBN communities. If you break any of these guidelines with your very first post or interaction, it signals to our community managers you’re just here to be disruptive. Violators may be banned, blocked, or removed. No refunds will be provided if you are banned.
Spam: We have a zero-tolerance policy on spam, which includes sharing links to illegal activities. Spam will be deleted and spammers may be banned, blocked, or removed. I’m not sure why someone would sign up for a service like this only to spam, but again, no refund will be provided if you get Spam banned.
Sharing Private Information shared here: what happens on RockM+ stays on RockM+. This is a subscription and you are paying to be a part of a community, that community will have information shared here which we consider to be proprietary. Please respect us, and your fellow subscribers by keeping that information here.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules when engaging in our community will at best be removed from the conversation, and at worst will end up banned from that community. These decisions will be made at the discretion of our Group Moderators and Admins in private consultation.
If you see any of these things happening in our communities, please report it to a Moderator and it will be reviewed. If you see it happening on social media or elsewhere, report it to the community manager at contact@rockm.plus or any of the members of the Rock M Masthead. You can also reach out via our contact form.
