Community Guidelines

Names are your choice. Use your real name or a handle, whichever suits you. The room judges a man by what he says, not by what his profile calls him. Do set an avatar so you're not a gray box.

What's said here stays here. Don't repeat or share what other members post in the forum. Discussions here are private.

Don't post anything legally risky about named people or organizations. Discuss pro pickleball, the tour, and sanctioning bodies freely, and reference players and public figures in the sport as you like. What's out is anything defamatory or identifying about a private individual.

Disagree like men. Disagree on ideas, not on people. No contempt, no personal attacks. Honest disagreement is welcome; hostility is not.

Sharing and selling. Post anything that serves the mission: articles, videos, exercises, other people's content, if it's relevant and you think it's worth seeing, bring it in and say why. What you can't do is profit from the forum. No affiliate links, no promoting your own products, services, or channels in the threads. If you run a pickleball business, list it in your profile, and if men here come to trust you, that's yours to earn. In the threads you're a man among men, not a vendor. I keep this forum clean of sponsors; you keep it clean of promotions. The test is simple: if the post benefits the forum, share it. If it benefits you, don't.

Posting video. Embed it, don't upload it. Put the clip on YouTube or Vimeo and paste the link here and it will embed. Other hosts work too, though they may not play inline. I don't host video. You can post a game, a drill, an exercise you're unsure about, and get community feedback. Say what you want feedback on so men know what they're watching for. Set it to unlisted rather than public, and remember whatever's in the frame is in the frame, including your face and where you're filming.

Moderators' word is final. If Kieran or a moderator makes a call, that's the call. Disputes go to [email protected], not into the forum.
