This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Gentlemen, Curt's original Rules of Engagement post is currently empty, I suppose since the changes on the site. Colonel's newer additions to Curt's Rules are still there.
I was able to copy it and remove the features (in this case, the 'bold' feature) that caused it to appear blank.
Below is a copy the post from Curt referred to by the topic of this thread:

--------------------------
I just wanted to follow up on what Colonel said about cleaning up this phorum: I fully support any and all measures that Colonel and JC take to return this phorum to its original purpose - a place to have a CIVILIZED discussion about the Miami Dolphins.
As you know, I don't spend hardly any time on the phorums. That's because I don't have much interest in these kinds of discussions - I don't spend any time on other forums, either.
My point in mentioning this is that I don't run the Phorums for my own benefit or gain. I run them for you, the Phins fans. So you should understand that it's no skin off my nose if I shut them down. In fact, it would make life a lot easier for me if I got rid of them.
Now, I'm not threatening to shut them down, BUT y'all need to understand that I have no personal reason for wanting to keep them running.
And y'all also need to understand that this board is not protected by the First Amendment. As a private forum, you are not entitled to freedom of speech here. I own the boards and my word is law. Participating here is a privilege, not a right and you will obey the rules or be banned. It's that simple.
And another thing - you don't get to violate the rules because someone else calls you names or makes you angry. If everyone here just looks out for themselves, that would solve the problem. Here you are not your brother's keeper.
So please try to keep the conversation here civil and show respect to everyone on our phorums. I know everyone gets excited about the Dolphins and sometimes has problems restraining themselves. I understand that. But repeated, deliberate violations of the rules will not be tolerated, no matter what excuse you come up with.
The Miami Dolphin organization used to have a chatboard WAY back in the day on miamidolphins.com
In those days, Myself, Curt, Diceman, and a couple of others who don't come to mind now used to post on that board.
miamidolphins.com then shut it down and Curt came over and created this board. (Unless it was another Curt. I'm not sure but I just assumed he was the same one).
How come Curt doesn't post here ever? He just gave us this playground and threw the keys to JC? Just curious........Unless Like Higgins and Robin on Magnum PI.....Or Bosley and Charlie on Charlies Angels.Are they the same?
