PrintFolks, when you sign up on Denver Stiffs, you are required to sign-off on our guidelines. They can be breezed through or overlooked, so we just want to remind everyone of the guidelines here and we ask you adhere to them as the season is about to get underway. Andrew, Jeff, and I are glad you all are back (some never left) and look forward to talking Nuggets all season!
Here we go:

Sounds pretty straight forward and sensible to me.
Just the kind of community I’d like to be a part of.
I may not be as good-looking as the “cat,” but then neither am I a gurl.
I say it’s time to toss the ball up and lets play some basketball.
'I may not be as good-looking as the "cat," '
don’t you forget it either!
Testicle.

Optimism, pessimism, F*CK THAT; we're gonna make it happen. As God as my bloody witness, I'm hell-bent on making it work.

Mild cursing doesn’t refer to which words,we just don’t want to see F-bombs all the time in every post.
These guideline posts are fairly regular on SB Nation sites, we haven’t posted it for a long time. Just keeping folks on the same page.

So since we can't call Gallo.. you know
I guess I’ll just call him Rooster, or something..
Atheist for Tebow!
Me think’s Gallo’s the exception.

If Mild is what I tihnk it is
Then you can’t say damnit, the d word is now Darn, F word is now screw, H word is now heck, and the C and other D word and P word as well is now Rooster.
Atheist for Tebow!
It wouldn't be so bad
If it wasn’t everybody saying it and it wasn’t so juvenile.
I just expect more sophisticated humor from you guys. I mean, we are basketball fans, not soccer hooligans.

Here's something I found that's Nuggets-worthy
ESPNChrisPalmer chris palmer
Top 5 best lob passers: 1. Chris Paul 2. Andre Miller 3. Rajon Rondo 4. Steve Nash 5. Jameer Nelson
...
I wonder if Jameer would really be on that list if he didn’t have Dwight on his team showcasing his lobbing.
Happy that Miller gets recognition though, sucks that Wilson Chandler and JR Smith are in China. Those guys would be perfect targets for Miller on the 2nd unit…

Griffin with CP3 will be a very dangerous combo this year
I’m actually considering watching a few of their games this year.
Atheist for Tebow!
I was hoping he'd end up on an Eastern team so he could haunt the Knicks
But this could be interesting and it will be fun to have him out west.
That's good for Billups and CP3
I still think this current teams (with AAA) could handle the Clips.

Yes.
I like to talk Russian when Moz is on the court, after all.

By the way, may I say that the Nuggets official site coverage of the team is totally crap compared with teams like the Wolves or the Blazers?
You guys should make a post about asking the Nuggets for improving the team coverage.
Yea, I check out the official site just to see the video content.
Other than that, all other nuggets related coverage come from other sites.

I have a feeling Josh Kroenke would take that to heart
They seem to be doing more to be visible and communicative with the fans, so I’d hope that criticism wouldn’t fall on deaf ears if it’s coming from the fans.

Thanks for the reminder, Nate
I hope we haven’t been too awful of late. Should we assume that the borat mess was at least part of what prompted this reminder?
No. More. Stickyball.
I'm guessing that and the other trolling and our general inability as a group to ignore it (myself included)

I missed the "boran mess"
But I think anyone who would take the screen name of Borat would clearly being intending to troll and be banned immediately.

What about self deprecating?
What if I feel the need to insult myself on public board for all the strangers to see?

Broncos joke!
After living a full life, Tom brady died
When he got to heaven God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a Patriots flag in the window. “this house is yours for eternity” said God. “This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.” Tom indeed felt special and walked up to his house.
…
On his way up to his house he noticed another house around the corner. It was a huge 3 story mansion with orange an blue sidewalks and driveway, a 50 foot flagpole with a broncos flag waving, a huge horse shaped swimming pool, a broncos logo in every window and a Tim Tebow jersey hanging in the front door.
Tom look at God and said “I’m not trying to be ungrateful but I have a question.” I was an All pro QB, I won 3 Super Bowls and I even went to the Hall of Fame.
God said “so what’s your point Tom?”
“Well why does Tim Tebow get a better house than me?!”
God chuckled and said “that’s not Tim’s house, that’s mine!”
Gallo is the leading brand of the Spanishcorporate group of the same name.
Gallo was a pioneer in Spain in the use of hard wheat semolina as a raw material for making pasta, a common part of the Mediterranean diet.
According with a Gallo commercial “Gallo makes the diference”.
"Gallo makes the diference"
is an innocuous and ambiguous enough slogan that the Nuggets might actually license that. CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?!!

Gallo is rather common last name in Italy, where
… I have lived for 30 years. Among many other things, one of the leading brands of rice is called Riso Gallo. it would be easy to organize a whole meal around various Gallo products, including, obviously, the wine.
Gallinari, in any case, actually would translate as “hen farmers”, so the shorter nickname is definitely more macho.
haha, I like FanShots - read them all the time.

Fastest way to get something ignored
is to put it in a fanshot. Nobody ever reads them.

lol I think SBNation would do well in a reformat
Where there’d be two columns on each side of the main stuff (Kind of like where the Stiff list is at now). I’m confident in saying that at least 75% of users here have a widescreen monitor so it’d look great and people would actually see fanshots (instead of the bottom of the main page)
Atheist for Tim Tebow!
Good refreshing of the rules
They will be upheld!

“Any post or comment that refers to a player, coach, or other prominent figure within the franchise in a derogatory way will be deleted.”
Does this mean we have to stop calling him Al “cheeseburger” Harrington?

Thanks for posting this...
I was recently banned from PurpleRow for saying what I feel is absolutely nothing offensive enough to warrant it. I did not call anyone a name, didn’t use any swear words, and didn’t belittle anyone. However, I dared disagree with the wrong person, got bullied, stood up for myself, and got a ban as a result. Totally arbitrary and capricious.
I think the guidelines are fair if applied properly. However, if a poster gets a reputation for being a bit negative about their team, as I was, and passiontately argues about their team’s (or its brainstrust’s) failings……I just found out the guidelines can be applied differently to that sort of fan. Andrew of this forum knows about how negative views carry risks……he of the “Fire George Karl” campaign of a few years ago. Andrew, look at my posts of a few days ago over at Purplerow and tell me I deserved to be banned based on the guidelines. I feel like Nene being charged into by one poster (JunctionRox), and instead of an offensive fould being called, I was whistled with my 5th foul, argued, and the ref kicked me out of the game. Instead, in this case, I was kicked out of the league. Shameless behavior by Purplerow moderators.
Honestly man, airing dirty laundry? Poor form

I think both blogs have their merits in how they are run.

Have you ever protested in your life?
It’s a free country, and I don’t find it poor form to air my views on what I thought was unfair application of the guidelines over there. No, I’m not an “Occupy Wall St.” activist or anything like that. However, the tolerance level toward pointed conversations that are at all negative toward the team is just pathetic. I wasn’t really talking down to or being a jerk to anybody, and said nothing that should have been taken as personally offensive. Yet, that’s the message they sent to me from the ban. First ban of my internet life, so I suppose it’s a “badge of honor”.
Yes, because getting banned from a sports blog
equals the “Occupy” movement. It’s not quite the same thing. And privately run blogs exist at the rules and discretion of the proprietors. Send an email to the mods at PR about it if you feel that strongly about it. That’s all I’m saying.
