Forum Communication - PLEASE READ

Good morning all DLF'ers

We are in unprecedented times. I'm sure you will all agree.

In times like this, we must band together as a people, support each other and lift each other up. Even in fantasy football, when you bring so many people together in one place, there will be differing opinions, sometimes even reaching extreme emotional levels of difference. It's all too easy to air out frustrations, call each other out or aim to insult through use of words when we disagree. It can be one of the drawbacks of running an online community.

We are fortunate to have members from all over the world. In addition to the U.S., I've personally interacted with individuals from Germany, U.K., Ireland, Sweden, Australia, Canada, South America, South Africa and many other countries I'm forgetting. We have all been impacted in one way or the other by the Coronavirus/COVID-19. The DLF community is a global one.

We are very pleased you call DLF home and can use our forums as a source of engagement with your fellow NFL fans. But please, please be respectful to each other and lift each other up. Disagree with opinion, engage in discussion(s), but always respect your fellow community member and check your words, tone and intention before hitting "Submit."

While these are good standard operating procedures for any time, it's especially the case NOW. So while things in our world become more stressful and very 'real', let this forum be a place of safety, engagement and fun for all who wish to contribute. Regardless of race, country, religion, color of skin, etc., let's be the change we wish to see, even if it's only on this fantasy forum.

I would encourage you all to respond to this post in some way pledging your commitment, lifting someone up or supporting this forum and the people in it. If you don't wish to, that's perfectly fine as well - your silent acknowledgement and support is just as good.

As always, we appreciate and respect each one of you and thank you for calling DLF home!

Wishing you and your family safety and health during these difficult times.

Thank you

It's all to easy to put someone down when it seems like they don't agree with you or know as much as you. It's refreshing to hear a reminder every once in awhile to put things, fantasy football,and life into perspective especially during these unprecedented times. Thank you

While we have continued to pound the table about communication and respect on these forums, it turns out my most recent message on the subject was rather timely. I want to thank you all for doing what you can in this area. If we can ALL check our own actions FIRST and ensure we are respectful, uplifting and supportive (in sharing a position), even if we completely disagree with the poster, then we create an enriching and valuable community in which we can all contribute and feel safe and heard.

Let this community be an example of what should be the standard worldwide with all communication and interaction regardless of our differences!
