Cat Scratch Reader is a blog focused on the Carolina Panthers of the NFL, and aims to provide a constructive, civilized and mature environment in which fans can discuss and debate the state of the team. By posting on the blog, you are agreeing to refrain from excessive profanity (ex: f-bombs) and hate speech whether directed at CSR members or not. Discussion of hot-button non-football topics, such as (but not limited to) religion and politics are strictly prohibited.
Persons who post derogatory comments solely to incite anger will be considered ‘trolls’ and will be banned, with or without prior warning. Attempts to circumvent this code of conduct with language or tone intent on creating discord (e.g. excessive sarcasm, mocking other members etc.) will be considered akin to ‘trolling’ and will result in a 'warning', giving the poster an opportunity to address their tone prior to any permanent moderation.
This code of conduct will be enforced wholly at the discretion of the editorial staff. Any behavior that falls outside the scope of this code of conduct, but is deemed by the editorial staff to be against the spirit and mission of this blog, will result in moderation.
The CSR editorial staff reserves the right to revise and/or update these terms without notice at our discretion.
