V Posting Guidelines:

SCF offers a wide range of forums. Always locate the proper forum before posting. If you are unsure, contact a member of the staff to assist you.

Thread hijacking or trolling is not permitted on SCF. Hijacking a thread is considered taking over a thread that you did not originally create and posting something that has nothing to do with its actual subject matter. Examples are trying to sell or trade cards in a thread where the original thread starter is doing the same or jumping in a thread to elicit information about an item that was not mentioned by the thread starter. To remedy this, simply create a new thread. Trolling is considered making comments in someone's thread in provocation to create emotional distress towards other people or picking a fight.

Bumping a thread is only allowed after 8 hours have passed since you last posted if you are the last poster. Also, you may not bump more than once in an 8-hour period. You are not permitted to bump a thread if it is still located on the first page of the forum. Bumping is considered any post that is not in response to a previous post. This includes items such as “ttt”, “bump”, “list updated”, etc. Please note that this rule applies to the trading and buying/selling forums.

Posting a thread for the purpose of having someone give or look up a book value on an item is prohibited. If you are in trade talks, book values can be used and posted as long as the source is not cited.

When you post cards for trade, please combine your lists to a single post instead of having multiple threads for a single card/player/Want. This rule is to help let everyone have an equal chance of having their thread on the front page longer instead of a single person having multiple threads dominating the whole page, No member is allowed to have more than 3 Topics on main page at any given time.

If you wish to run a contest, you must contact the Contest Manager prior to posting it.

Please do not post any trader information such as addresses, feedback or email addresses directly on the forums. This is private information.

There is no gambling of any kind on SCF including fantasy sports leagues, betting cards, betting card cash, or anything that has value.

SCF Staff members reserve the right to close or delete any post or thread that may be deemed unacceptable or improper for this website At any given time (this includes thread domination on main page).

Redundant/duplicate threads...avoid posting similar threads! Combine your wantlist and tradelists into as few threads as possible too.

If a member wants to sell a card at a certain price, they have the right to. Certain off-topic replies to threads is considered thread hijacking.

Instead of confronting a member on a issue, report the post and a staff member will handle the situation. When viewing a thread, you will see an red/white icon at the bottom of every members post (under profile info when viewing a post). This is our "report post" feature. If you see any member violating an SCF rule, please hit the button, type a message, and a moderator will resolve the issue.

If you have any questions please PM a member of the basketball team!
