To use the Yao Mania Fan Forum (a.k.a. "discussion forum," "message board"), you agree that you understand the following:

The opinions expressed in the Forum do not represent the views of Yao Ming or anyone officially associated with him, unless explicitly communicated by the forum administrator (username of 'yaomingmania.com').

If you would like to post a message on the forum, you will be required to register (for free). Note: the username and password to use the Fan Forum is different than the one used to register for a free membership in the Yao Ming Fan Club.

Every Fan Forum registration request is reviewed, and approvals are normally granted in 24 hours or less.

Because of problems associated with free email services (i.e., Yahoo, Hotmail, Netscape, MSN, Lycos, etc.), these type of email accounts are not allowed for forum registration. (For more information on why this policy has been instituted, click herefor the announcement).

In order to keep the Forum fun, all participants must abide by the guidelines mentioned when they request registration <b>here</b> and those listed below

1. slurs against races or nationalities

2. personal attacks

3. insulting comments toward others (inclusive of players or posters)

4. explicit profane/obscene comments

5. pornographic links or photos

6. intentional commercial advertisement for other websites (including discussion forums), goods or services

Any violation of the above policies can result in being banned from the forum immediately.
