Seahawks.NET Official Guidelines
"The Voice of The 12s”

We strive to be the best place on the internet to talk Seahawks football.

All Forums:
Participating in discussions in these forums is a privilege which requires a solid understanding of our guidelines. PG-13 language and Topic specific.

• Violence and personal harm: No calls to violence, threaten violence against an individual or a group, threaten or promote terrorism, doxxing, promotion of self-harm and other activities that may lead to real-world harm.*
• Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, political beliefs, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. *
• Sensitive media: No graphic violence and adult content: You may not post media that is excessively gory or share violent. Media depicting sexual violence and/or assault is also not permitted.*
• Slander/Libel: Do not slander or libel members of the NFL, Seattle Seahawks organization, or our community members*
• Attack the post, not the poster: Inflammatory or degrading content will be removed at the moderator's discretion
• No Political talk in any manner, political opinions or stances will get removed immediately*
Topics and/or posts found to include the aforementioned content may be removed, without warning, and the member(s) subject to site privilege restriction and/or revocation.


The Smack Shack: Participating in discussions in this forum is not for the faint of heart. Expect rated R language and being called to the table at any moment. This is not a forum for PWR.

• Violence and personal harm: No calls to violence, threaten violence against an individual or a group, threaten or promote terrorism, doxxing, promotion of self-harm and other activities that may lead to real-world harm.*
• Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, political beliefs, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. *
• Sensitive media: No graphic violence and adult content: You may not post media that is excessively gory or share violent. Media depicting sexual violence and/or assault is also not permitted. *
• No Political talk in any manner, political opinions or stances will get removed immediately*
Topics and/or posts found to include the aforementioned content may be removed, without warning, and the member(s) subject to site privilege restriction and/or revocation.

Forum etiquette:
• Refrain for posting dual Topics: Scan the front page and confirm there is not already a topic on the subject
• Bait and Switch Posts: Bait and Switch means stating something in the subject line that is a joke only to you or to get as many folks to click on your post as possible
• Refrain from using long titles:
Keep the titles of threads posted short and quick. Too long of thread titles can become clustered and harder to read, especially for those on mobile devices.
• Posting Complete Articles or Videos:
Seahawks.NET does NOT allow posting of complete articles from outside sources
You can post a short paragraph and cite your source with a link to the rest of the article
You may NOT post video containing a game or movie in its entirety, no exceptions
• Thread Hijacking:
Please make an effort to stay on topic in every thread, regardless of forum
• Post Topics in the correct forum:
Scan all forums and Post your topic in most accurate forum
Discussing players for other teams should be done is the NFL forum
• Approval is required to post links back to other fan sites:
Prior to posting you must contact Seahawks.NET owner Shaggy for approval. Please include the link you'd like to use for us to review
• Signature Lines/Photos/Avatars:
Signature pictures to be within 50 pixels of 468 X 100
MAXIMUM width of signature is 518 pixels
MAXIMUM height is 150 pixels
Signatures are limited to one picture only
Discriminatory, Racial, Political, War, Religion, and Sexually explicit signatures and avatars are not allowed*
• Use of PM's:
Private Messages are subject to the guidelines of the non-shack forums
Report offensive or threatening PM. Copy and send the offensive PM to the Mods
• Use of the Report Feature:
If you encounter a post or topic which contains content that falls outside our guidelines



Warnings & Banning:
• Not adhering to the rules with an * will result in a friendly reminder
• Continued or blatant disregard for the rules with an * will result in an official warning
• Three official warnings will result in a 24hr suspension and notification to site ownership
• Five official warnings will result in indefinite ban and the issue must be addressed between the member and site ownership.
• Failure to comply with any additional directives established by ownership may result in further banishment to include permanent removal and/or complete deletion of your membership and past contributions.

If the suspended member comes back after 7 days and starts back up, the suspension will become a ban and will be permanent.



This is a privately-owned and operated Seahawks fan site. We are not affiliated with the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks, any news media outlet, and/or any corporate entity. As such, we are not bound by any constraints other than those which are necessary to maintain a safe and enjoyable platform for Seahawks fans to discuss the Seahawks (and other stuff...). If you feel in any way discriminated against, it is your responsibility as a member to contact a .NET staff member immediately.

Membership on this forum is privilege not a right, all members are subject to site privilege restriction and/or revocation without notice.
