Please take a moment to review these rules detailed below.

Hockeyforums.net was created to provide an avenue for hockey enthusiasts to share thoughts, opinions and the latest news without users having to sift through forum spam or worry about trolls ruining the topics of conversation. Please help us keep this forum clean by using the reporting toll should you stumbled upon any

Hockeyforums.net will never sell your personal information that you provide us. We only ask you for your email address to confirm your membership and at the time of login, your IP address is captured. Both are stored in a double secure database with 256 bit encryption - the most commonly used encryption used today. Nearly all forums do this because your IP address is used to compare it to known forum spammers and trolls. This helps Hockeyforums.net keep our forum free of unwanted and malicious posters.

Please remember that we are not responsible for any messages that are posted on our forum. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message and are not responsible for the contents of any message.

The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this bulletin board. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email or by using the report feature located at the bottom of every post.

We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise volatile of any law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this bulletin board.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our registration terms & rules, please email us directly at support@hockeyforums.net. We will be more than happy to help you further.
