Everyone should abide by these rules in order to maintain order in these forums. Violation of one or more rules can result in a warning, suspension or a straight ban depending on the violation.
1. No User SHALL EVER put down the Azkals. Constructive criticism of their play is allowed but comments which can be insulting, offensive or disrespectful to the players, coaches and staff and to the name of Philippine football is FORBIDDEN. This is a fans' site after all and we are here to encourage our team, not to put them down or demoralize them.
2. Do not start a debate on the current monicker of the team. The team is called the Azkals, they have accepted this nickname and are using it as their official (though not formally official) nickname. It has been the team name for many years and has been used widely in the media. It is too late to change this name and the name is accepted by both the team and the majority of us fans.
3. Do not post comments/articles/media that concerns the personal life of any of the players/coaches/staff. We focus only on football, we do not want to mingle in show business.
4. Do not post comments/articles/media that are irrelevant to the Azkals and to football in general. There is a designated board for non-Azkal related football teams. Another board is dedicated to non-football issues as well. Let us post in the correct boards, everyone.
5. The use of the English language is ENCOURAGED although not REQUIRED. Let us be mindful of the foreign-based people in the forum but let us also pardon Filipinos who do not have a good command of the language or who can express themselves better in Filipino.
6. Insulting and 'below-the-belt' comments are not allowed in the forum. Same with flaming. If you have to do so please limit to your Private Message Inbox. Let us try to keep the forums orderly and peaceful.
7. Profanity is also illegal in the forum. If you want you can leave the first and last letter of the word and censor the letters in between. i.e, b@#$h | In addition to this, posting unnecessary and obscene media is strictly prohibited in the forum.
8. Respect an admin's authority. If they warn you for a rule violation obey them, if you feel that they are treating you unfairly report to another admin for a second opinion on that matter.
9. Spam (advertising a product/business/website not related to the Azkals) is not allowed. Spambots will be automatically banned and spam posts will be deleted. Football-related websites can be advertised (includes link URLs, site logo, any other media that advertises said site) in the forums as long as they are limited to the Promotion and Users Request board in the Off-topic board. Any other form of advertising in any other board in the forums will be deleted and the user can expect a corresponding punishment.
10. Flood posts (multiple posts of the same content) is not allowed and will be removed immediately.
11. Do not create any arguments between Philippine national sporting teams (e.g. Gilas v.s. Azkals, etc.) This is utter nonsense. Our teams compete under the same flag, regardless of whatever they have accomplished. Let us be supportive of any team that represents our country.
12. Profiting from the Azkals' success financially without giving the team a share of the said profits is FORBIDDEN. Only Futbol Pilipinas sells merchandise that will profit the team. Any other company/business/entity that tries to advertise/sell Azkals merchandise on the forums will be banned.
