Yes we ban here. If you are aggressively arguing with someone, using hostile language, insulting others, you can be banned. Doesn't matter if "the other person started it". Just hit the report button under their comment and a mod will see it. You don't have to answer every person that replies to you, it's perfectly respectful to leave an asshat on read.

Even though there are some emotionally charged situations surrounding the Texans right now, if you cannot have a sane conversation about them with others, please limit your comments on the subject.

It's great to have football back again! Personally, I apologize for being busy and not having the time to devote here that it probably needs. Even though I do not comment that much, I am still working on the back side handling reports, answering modmail, and others issues.

A couple of tips for anyone who might not know:

Mean or spiteful comments will be removed and bans will be issued for severe infractions. This includes (but is not limited to):

• Insincerity or dishonesty

All users are expected to abide by reddiquette

In particular avoid:
