• We encourage our readers to engage in lively debate and ask that you refrain from posting offensive, obscene, threatening or abusive comments.  Any comments containing personal attacks or threats towards other commenters, writers, journalists, teams, players or agents, along with any responses to those comments may be removed in SNY.tv’s sole discretion. You are fully responsible for libelous or defamatory comments.
• In no event will SNY.tv tolerate comments containing racist, homophobic, sexist or any other form of hate-speech commentary.
• Inappropriate language, including but not limited to, swearing, sexually explicit, insulting, embarrassing and/or use of crude terms for body parts, bodily functions, and physical acts are unacceptable and may be cause for removal of your comments.
• Comments may not contain spam links or other forms of blatant self-promotion. If we see these types of posts, they will be removed.
• Readers are advised to stay on topic and refrain from making comments stating “how you’re sick of this topic” or that the content is not newsworthy.  In order to maintain the quality of SNY.tv’s commenting forums, off-topic comments may be removed.
• No inappropriate avatars, images or usernames are allowed. If we see them, they may be removed.
• No personal contact information may be posted anywhere, in comments or usernames. Facebook and Twitter handles are permissible and may be used by users to comment.
