Roll Call and Community Standards!
An introduction to members of the Silver Seven community.
There have been a lot of changes in the Silver Seven community over the past few months and we're taking a moment to reintroduce ourselves!
Silver Seven is a community built on respect. Our community guidelines reflect this:
"Post your opinions. Disagree with others. Be respectful of others, even if you disagree with them. Everything done on this site must be done in a respectful manner."
Silver Seven is a safe space for Sens fans to talk, explore, and share our passion for this team. Silver Seven is a place where Sens fans can have fun and share some laughs. Our community is different; ideas and opinions are valued even when disagreed with and we foster an atmosphere of acceptance.
