Just saw something interesting on Prairie State Outdoors, a website in Illinois not unlike NEFGA.
Under the box where you post your message - every time you post - is this:
Pool Rules
- Keep it clean.
- Stay on topic.
- Be honest and accurate.
- Don't say anything you wouldn't say to Mom at the dinner table.
- Let us know if you see a problem.
I thought that was pretty great. The people who derail productive posts and degrade the quality of good-natured community here at NEFGA probably aren't going to read the lengthy rules, but something simple like this makes it pretty tough to find argument, fault, or misunderstanding.
