Communicating
online is difficult. In order to facilitate ease of communcation, GOHA
offers the following options in which players can communicate their
suggestions and concerns:
--Website. This features full schedule, players' forums, current version of the rules.
--Suggestion
Box: This can be found on the GOHA Stats site. All players can log in
to the site and submit their suggestions for game play, scripting, rule
changes.
--Regularly scheduled meetings: Every
week during regulation seasons, GOHA hosts have a meeting with the team
captains to go over concerns
--Captain as liasion: One important
function of your team captain is to gather and present team members'
concerns at the weekly meetings. Please utilize this.
--Contact Jack
directly. If he is not online, be sure to write your concerns on a
notecard rather than IM, because offline IMs are frequently not received
due to SL caps on amount of messages you can get.
FORUMS
The
GOHA forums are privately managed and provided by Jack Belvedere. The
use of the forums is to communicate announcements, schedules, rule or
script changes, changes in player status, and areas to enjoy socially
with your teammates or league members. Suggestions and concerns should
be taken to the Suggestion Box or your captain/manager as mentioned
above so they do not get lost in the forums or incorrectly addressed.
General Rules and Guidelines for GOHA forums and website
These forums are a community for communication of league and team
specific information; users should respect the other participants in
this community. In general, users should conduct themselves in
respectful, appropriate ways that encourage inclusion and cooperation.
Our users express a diverse range of opinion and knowledge, and
disagreements can (and should) be handled in civilized ways inside the
virtual world and not on the forums in a soap-box manner. Following are
the GOHA Terms of Service for use of these forums. These terms may be
updated at any time and notice will be posted here.

obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, argumentative or any
other material that may violate any applicable laws, including copyright

criticizing in an non-constructive manner, to be argumentative or
insulting manner (commonly known as "flame" or "drama" posts) will come
under the scrutiny of the administrator. A post which is determined to
be inappropriate (in any or all of the aforementioned ways) may be
locked at the discretion of the administrator, or deleted from the
forums.
You agree, through your use of this service, that GOHA members who have
complaints they wish to air are required not to do so on the forums, but
to bring them to the direct attention of their captain or, if no
resolution is reached through the team captain, to the division manager
or league commissioner.

that consist of images that are defamatory, racist, abusive, vulgar,
hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a
person's privacy, or otherwise violating of any law.
The administrators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any
generally objectionable material as quickly as possible. However, it is
impossible to review every message before anyone would see it.
Therefore, you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express
the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators (except
for posts by these people) and hence they will not be held liable. The
content of all posts remain the property of their respective authors,

subject to disciplinary action by the administrator, including but not

forums, or a permanent ban if necessary. Furthermore, the administrator
of this forum has the right to remove, edit, move, or close any topic
at any time should they see fit.

should you forget your current one. Occasionally, the administrators
may be required to contact you via your email address. Additionally, the
email is used to automatically send out game and event reminders.
Therefore, a valid email address is required. You can elect not to
receive automatic emails by going into your profile and un-checking the
box that indicates you wish to receive the automatic emails.
You agree, through your use of this website, if granted administrative
rights for purpose of scheduling and roster placement, you will not use
those rights to moderate forums, edit management or rules pages, delete
users, release e-mail or IP information, edit personal information other
than your own, or otherwise make changes which result in lost
information.
