Mike, This policy makes you "done" answering questions on Old Coach and 5Atexasfootball.com.


How?

No comments are made about a particular game, crew or event. but merely answering rules questions. Nothing in the policy that says anything about that.

Because I considered as written that some could/would be overly officious with this vagueness and "should Not comment on situations or events that occurred in a game or match" to include not just your game but the games of others. 

I don't like the draft policy at all.

based on the comments about crews not following the mechanics manuals, I would suspect that this policy would only be enforced at the point where a complaint was filed.  So, I would recommend that regardless of where the comment is made, that you understand and accept that it will probably become public, and really just relies on whoever you are talking about to decide if they want to stick it to you or not with a formal complaint.

That is a good point.  Unless someone actually made a complaint it might  not even be an issue.  Although if someone on the TASO Board were to become aware of a "policy violation", (not just this policy but any policy), wouldn't they be bound to report it themselves?
