Our Association is implementing a Social Networking policy that will prohibit discussing rules, plays, and things related to the Association on the internet (it hasn't been enacted yet so I'm not violating the rule right now). The upshot is that I really won't have any reason to post here unless someone wants to discuss a topic unrelated to high school football. I don't particularly agree with this, but majority rules in these kinds of things. I want to thank everyone who helped me over the last few years on this site and wish you all a safe and enjoyable season this Fall.

IIRC, the wording of what was on the screen last night listed Facebook, Twitter, "and other internet forums" and banned discussing games we worked, rules interpretations, and Association business.
I completely understand the association being against an official discussing specific games, rules interpretations or association business. I can't think of any off the top of my head from this forum that would fall under any of these...as long as you stay out of the TASO vs UIL stuff on the "Texas" board. :DWell... by starting this thread I've discussed association business so that's one instance; and here or over in the War Stories section I've discussed (while leaving the particular team details out) things that happened or were said during games I've worked. Hmm... maybe it was because of me that they're doing this. <ponders> :o
USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
The use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter has grown immensely in both use and popularity. Members of the Association are not prohibited from using social media. However, when using any social media, not just the two mentioned previously, the member must not discuss any game they have participated in, any game to which they have been scheduled, nor any game, past or present, which was assigned by the Association. Additionally, members will not discuss other members of the Association and/or Association business. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action.
Wives and coaches are very good at it.

"Fad". You've contributed as much as you've taken away. My advice...change your log-in name!
Updated below
You're off the hook because this is not a social networking site. It is a football discussion forum.Jaybird...your age is showing...discussion forums are a type of social networking site. I kid only because I love.
Just change your login name and your little logo and nobody will know who you are.I would have to create a totally new account. Just changing the name of this one will also change the name on every post I've submitted so far. The creator of this thread wouldn't be Fadamor anymore, it would be my new name. As such it would be relatively easy to figure out who the "new" person is as long as they can remember any of the posts I've made previously.

Maybe if I start adding this to the front of my posts? ;D

Weren't these first called "Bulletin Boards" back when 1200 baud rate was fast? ;DI still remember my 300 baud modem that connected my Commodore 64 to the "world". They had a social networking site called "PlayNet" and the modem was only slightly faster at sending data than a good touch-typist. :)
