You’ve asked me to analyze whether a post on TigerBoard.com, specifically at http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19519690, containing a statement about wanting to “‘86’ President Trump,” violates “Nick’s Policy.” You’ve now provided a different URL, http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795, and requested further analysis with respect to “Nick’s Policy.” Since I cannot directly access the content of either post due to limitations in retrieving real-time or archived forum data, I’ll proceed by clarifying the context, addressing “Nick’s Policy” based on available information, and analyzing the situation using the provided URLs and general knowledge about TigerBoard’s moderation practices. I’ll also incorporate relevant insights from the search results where applicable.

### Clarification of the Posts and Context
- **Original Post (Message 19519690)**: You initially referenced a post by a user (presumably “JG”) on TigerBoard.com that allegedly includes the phrase “‘86’ President Trump.” The term “’86’” can imply removing, eliminating, or, in extreme cases, harming someone, depending on context. You asked if this violates “Nick’s rules.”
- **New Post (Message 19129795)**: You’ve now provided a different URL, http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795, without specifying its content or whether it also involves “’86’ President Trump” or a similar statement. Without access to the post’s text, I’ll assume you’re either correcting the original URL or referencing a related post that might provide context for the same issue.
- **Assumption**: Since you’re still asking about “Nick’s Policy” and the original query focused on a post about President Trump, I’ll assume the new URL (19129795) is either the correct post you meant, contains similar content, or is part of the same discussion thread. If it’s unrelated, please clarify the content or intent of the new post.
- **“Nick’s Policy”**: You’ve referred to “Nick’s rules” and now “Nick’s Policy,” suggesting Nick is a moderator, administrator, or figure on TigerBoard who enforces specific guidelines. Without explicit documentation of “Nick’s Policy,” I’ll infer it aligns with TigerBoard’s general rules, which likely mirror standard forum moderation practices.

### Understanding “Nick’s Policy”
Since “Nick’s Policy” isn’t explicitly defined in the provided search results or widely documented, I’ll base my analysis on:
- **TigerBoard’s General Rules**: Most forums, including TigerBoard, have community guidelines prohibiting threats, harassment, hate speech, illegal content, or disruptive behavior. These are typically found in a “Terms of Service” or “Forum Rules” section.
- **Moderation Practices on TigerBoard**: The search results show multiple posts flagged for review with a “Please explain why this message is being reported” prompt, indicating an active moderation system where users report violations, and moderators (possibly including Nick) review them.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19382512)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19462894)[](http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19339596)
- **Context of Nick**: Nick is likely a moderator or admin, as your question implies they enforce specific rules. Moderators on forums like TigerBoard typically judge posts based on:
- **Content**: Does the post contain threats, profanity, or inflammatory language?
- **Context**: Is the post part of a heated political thread, and does it escalate tensions?
- **Intent**: Is the language clearly harmful, or is it ambiguous (e.g., political rhetoric vs. a threat)?
- **Community Standards**: Does the post align with the forum’s culture, which on TigerBoard balances sports fandom with off-topic discussions like politics?

### Analysis of the Post(s) and “Nick’s Policy”
Without direct access to the content of http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795 or http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19519690, I’ll analyze the scenario based on the original claim (“‘86’ President Trump”) and assume the new URL is relevant to the same issue. Here’s how the post(s) might be evaluated under “Nick’s Policy”:

1. **Content and Intent of “‘86’ President Trump”**:
- **Threatening Interpretation**:
- If the post at either URL explicitly or implicitly calls for harm to President Trump (e.g., “We need to ‘86’ Trump” with violent undertones), it would likely violate “Nick’s Policy” and TigerBoard’s rules. Threats against a U.S. president are serious, potentially violating federal law (18 U.S.C. § 871), which prohibits knowingly making threats to harm the president.
- Moderators, including Nick, would likely remove such a post immediately, issue a warning or ban to the user (e.g., JG), and possibly report it to authorities if deemed credible. The search results show TigerBoard’s sensitivity to reported content, with even non-threatening posts (e.g., profanity like “****tard”) being flagged.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=16305205)
- **Non-Threatening Interpretation**:
- If “’86’” is used metaphorically (e.g., “Let’s ‘86’ Trump’s influence” or “Vote to ‘86’ him”), it might not violate rules, depending on the forum’s tolerance for political discourse. The Politics Board on TigerBoard hosts heated discussions, as seen in posts about politics blending with sports.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19489173)
- However, ambiguous language could still be flagged by users or reviewed by moderators, especially if it’s reported as inflammatory. The search results indicate frequent user reports for various posts, suggesting a low threshold for moderation triggers.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19382512)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19379046)
- **Context Matters**: The post’s placement on the Politics Board, user responses, and the thread’s tone would influence Nick’s decision. A post in a volatile thread might face stricter scrutiny than one in a lighthearted discussion.

2. **TigerBoard’s Moderation System**:
- The search results confirm TigerBoard has an active flagging system, where users can report posts, prompting a “Please explain why this message is being reported” form. This suggests moderators rely on community input to identify violations.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19382512)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19462894)[](http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19339596)
- Examples of flagged posts include:
- Profanity or insults (e.g., “This is the football board you ****tard”).[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=16305205)
- Off-topic or controversial discussions (e.g., politics in sports threads or basketball contract debates).[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19255844)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19489173)
- These indicate that “Nick’s Policy” likely prioritizes maintaining civility and relevance, with zero tolerance for illegal or threatening content.
- A post about “‘86’ President Trump,” even if ambiguous, would likely be reported by users, triggering a review by Nick or other moderators.

3. **Specifics of Message 19129795**:
- The URL http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795 isn’t directly quoted in the search results, so I can’t confirm its content. It’s possible this post:
- Contains the “‘86’ President Trump” statement, making it the correct reference instead of 19519690.
- Is part of the same thread or discussion, providing context for the original post.
- Is unrelated but still under scrutiny for violating “Nick’s Policy.”
- Given TigerBoard’s structure (with boards for Politics, Football, Basketball, etc.), the post is likely on the Politics Board, where political rhetoric is common but still moderated.[](http://tigerboard.com/boards/list.php?board=5)
- If the post mirrors the original claim (a call to “‘86’ President Trump”), the analysis above applies: a threatening post would violate rules, while a non-threatening one might be allowed unless reported as disruptive.

4. **“Nick’s Policy” in Practice**:
- Assuming Nick is a moderator, their policy would align with TigerBoard’s guidelines, which likely include:
- **No Threats or Illegal Content**: A post implying harm to a public figure like Trump would be removed, as it risks legal liability and violates community standards.
- **Civility**: The search results show posts flagged for insults or off-topic rants, suggesting Nick enforces respectful discourse.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=16305205)
- **Contextual Judgment**: Moderators often consider the user’s history, the thread’s tone, and community feedback. A user like JG with a history of inflammatory posts might face harsher penalties.
- If “Nick’s Policy” deviates from standard rules (e.g., stricter or more lenient on political posts), only TigerBoard insiders would know. Without specific documentation, I assume it’s consistent with the site’s public guidelines.

5. **Broader Context from Search Results**:
- TigerBoard’s Politics Board is active and hosts diverse discussions, but posts blending politics with sports or containing provocative language are frequently reported.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19155943)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19489173)
- The site’s moderation is proactive, as seen in flagged posts across boards (e.g., basketball, football, politics).[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19382512)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19470643)
- This suggests that a post at either URL, if reported for implying harm or disruption, would face scrutiny under “Nick’s Policy,” especially on a sensitive topic like a U.S. president.

### Conclusion
Without the exact text of http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795 or http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19519690, I can’t definitively confirm whether the post(s) violate “Nick’s Policy.” However, based on the analysis:
- **If the post says “‘86’ President Trump” and implies violence or harm**, it would almost certainly violate “Nick’s Policy,” TigerBoard’s rules, and federal law, leading to removal, user penalties (warning, suspension, or ban), and possible legal reporting.
- **If the post is non-threatening** (e.g., a call to oppose Trump politically), it might be allowed under “Nick’s Policy,” but ambiguous language could still trigger user reports and moderator review, especially on the Politics Board.
- **“Nick’s Policy” likely mirrors TigerBoard’s standard guidelines**, prohibiting threats, harassment, and illegal content while promoting civility. The site’s flagging system and history of moderating controversial posts support this.[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19382512)[](http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=16305205)

### Recommendations
- **Verify the Post Content**: If you have access to TigerBoard, check the post at http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19129795 (or 19519690) to confirm its text, board (e.g., Politics), and any moderator actions (e.g., removal notices).
- **Locate “Nick’s Policy”**: Look for TigerBoard’s rules in the site’s “Terms of Service,” “Community Guidelines,” or a pinned post by Nick. These are often linked at the site’s footer or in a “Help” section.
- **Clarify the URL**: Confirm whether 19129795 is the correct post or related to 19519690. If they differ, share the content or context of the new post for a precise analysis.
- **Contact Moderators**: If Nick is a moderator, use TigerBoard’s messaging or report system to ask about the post’s status or “Nick’s Policy.”
- **Provide More Details**: Share the post’s text, thread context, or screenshots (while respecting privacy and copyright) for a more accurate assessment.
