Welcome to The Gridiron Palace! The Gridiron Palace (TGP) was created on 12-8-06 with the intent of creating a unique and enjoyable forum for football fans around the world. We ask you become acquainted with the following information/rules below.

All information on this site is the opinion of the poster it originated from and does not necessarily reflect the views of "The Gridiron Palace", or the NFL. The Gridiron Palace is in no way affiliated or endorsed by the NFL or any of its partners.

By registering to this forum you agree to all of the terms below. Please note that while the staff will do its best to review as many posts as possible, it is not possible for us to review every post. If a post violates the terms of service, please report it via the report button as this will get the quickest response.

The following is a general listing of the rules we ask you follow. The terms are not listed in any order of significance, and all will be enforced by the staff.

Harassment: Under no circumstances will harassment of other members be tolerated. Hurtful/Insulting remarks against a poster or poster's family, race or religion or similar entity is prohibited. Continuously posting with the intent to instigate arguments with other members will equally not be tolerated. Additionally, threats against other members may be grounds for having your account disabled.

Advertising: Advertising other websites or services via post, signature, avatar, PM, board email function, or any other communication function available on TGP is prohibited. Doing so will result in a loss of privileges.

Spamming/Flooding: Making useless/random posts with the intention to increase post count will result in your account being disabled. We have the ability to delete all posts and disable an account with one click, so please don't waste your time.

Word Filter: Profane and offensive words are filtered by an automatic word censor which replaces said words with asterisks. Attempting to thwart the censor in anyway will be referred to as bypassing the censor. The offending post will be edited, and the offending poster will be issued a warning.

Multiple Accounts: The creation of multiple accounts is strictly prohibited. Anyone found creating more than one account will have all but one of their accounts deleted at random. Once an account is deleted, it cannot be recovered from the database.

Smack Forum: The smack forum has been added to the forum to allow fans of different teams to trash talk each other. If you are easily offended, we recommend you do not use this forum, and simply discuss football in one of our other forums.

Making such posts or topics will lead to a possible suspension or ban from the board.
