Splash Dogs Message Board Rules
Splash Dogs is the sole owner of the Splash Dogs Message Board. Membership on this message board is for our competitors, participants and those interested in the sport of dock jumping. The purpose of this message board is to provide an open forum for an exchange of various ideas, opinions, and information between dock jumping enthusiasts.
Topics which directly relate to the policies of other dock jumping organizations are considered inappropriate for discussion on this message board. Comments or questions regarding Splash Dogs policy or other general Splash Dogs business should be addressed to the Splash Dogs Administrator at info@splashdogs.com
The Messageboard Manager is responsible for maintaining and executing the Messageboard Rules, thereby ensuring the message board community remains professional, respectful and amiable towards all participants. Posts may be screened at the discretion of the Messageboard Manager. As such, the Messageboard Manager reserves the right to deny publication of any post submitted to the Message Board. Members in violation of the Messageboard Rules may be placed on moderated status, read-only status, or suspended from messageboard participation.
