PLEASE READ before posting in this board

The following message outlines a series of rules relevant only to posts made in this message board. ("The Tennis") We ask all members to familiar themselves with these rules and to make every attempt to follow them at all-times. These rules also appear in the latest revision of the Kournikova.com community code of conduct - available by visiting the URL below:

'The Tennis Board' has been established as a separated discussion forum (away from 'The Fans) for individuals wishing to get deeper into discussion with topics relating to Anna's tennis career. As such, any messages posted that go off topic and have nothing to do with tennis will be severely frowned upon. A three-strike rule will apply in this forum for all Kournikova.com members (break the rules three times and you will no longer be able to post in 'The Tennis' board).

You break the rules by posting:

- a message baring no relevance to Anna's tennis career whatsoever.

- a message that adds zero value to the overall development of a particular thread (also known as trying to boost your post count). We define "zero value" as meaning posts made with nothing more than a few words such as go Anna, I agree, I disagree, etc. If you disagree with a point somebody raises, you're welcome to post your argument constructively with reasons why you think they might be wrong, and the same goes vice-versa.

- a message that disrupts the overall theme of any discussion thread. For example: posting a few paragraphs of nothing more than personal insults will not be accepted and will be removed, with a strike being issued against your name. Depending on the severity of any breach of this code of conduct document; you may also be given a temporary ban, a permanent ban, or an official code violation warning.

If you receive three strikes within a three monthly period for breaching any of these rules from posts made in 'The Tennis' - your posting privileges will be revoked from this board. However, depending of course on the seriousness of your actions, you will still be able to post in all our other boards such as 'The Fans' and 'The Couch'.

Unless directly contradicting any of the specialist rules set out for posts made in 'The Tennis' board, members are expected to follow all aspects of this code of conduct document - as they would in any of our other boards - when posting messages in 'The Tennis' board.
