1. General Rules
a. All Proboards Terms Of Service apply to this board. They're nice enough to allow us to host the community we've had here for 5 years, we should be nice enough to follow the rules they have set. Click here to read the Proboards TOS! This includes adult content, pornography, harrassment, violent threats, and impersonation. CONSIDER THIS YOUR ONE AND ONLY WARNING! Proboards has the right to delete this board if anyone breaks these rules and it is my responsibility to enforce them.
b. Be responsible. I nor Proboards are to be held for blame pertaining any personal details that may come back to haunt you. This includes social networking pages, screen names, e-mails, pictures, phone numbers, etc. You are free to share as you wish, but I advise you do so with caution as there have been several incidents in the past that got quite nasty due to personal details being used against people.
c. Do not take the above as permission to do such things on the board. Harassment, as stated in the TOS, is not allowed on this board. Arguments made URTV what it is, but I don't want things getting more personal then they should. Anyone that shows obsessive hatred towards someone on here will be removed if they refuse my requests. Do not post someone else's personal details without their approval! This includes Facebook accounts, pictures, real names, work information, etc. There is no warning about this. Do this and you will get a vacation.
d. This board is run on Mountain Standard Time, -7GMT. I advise you set your timezone on this board to Mountain Time if you're unfamiliar with the difference. All times stated on the board will be from this timezone.
e. Keep your password to yourself. Breaching someone's account is 100% against the rules, voluntarily and especially involuntarily.
f. If you have an issue with something on the board, take it up with me. Do not contact Proboards. You can also use the RFS forum.
g. People on the blacklist are there for a reason. Do not help them bypass this or show them stuff from this board. I don't care if you're friends with some of them, but you are not to be an accomplice.
2. Game Rules
a. Since this is an open community, many people who are not playing will be present. Those who are not playing should not involve themselves in the game. They are free to watch and root on people, but they are not to influence, campaign, or otherwise attempt to include themselves into a game they have no business being in.
*NOTE* This especially applies to eliminated people as well.
b. When you give notice, you must supply a reason for why you're giving it. There must be a valid reason for why you can't make a certain deadline supplied with the PM. If there is a board issue, I want you to take it to RFS. If I deem you reason valid enough, I will supply you with a new deadline. This one cannot be extended.
c. There is to be no cheating. Do not share answers, do not attempt to photochop a screenshot, do not blatantly try to find loopholes. Anyone suspected of this will be publicly disqualified from a challenge. It is your responsibility to read and understand the rules posted for each challenge. If you ever have any questions, there is no reason to not ask me.
*NOTE* This goes for anyone that knows someone is cheating but does nothing about it. If they sell you out when they're called out, you can bet you'll get similar punishment.
d. Do not bitch or moan when things don't go your way to me. I never have and never will rig one of my games for someone to win. If you are unhappy with a decision I made, take it up with me on AIM or in PM. We are all human so sometimes mistakes are made. If I made an error in counting up scores or something on a challenge and you notice, tell me! If you treat me with respect, I will show you respect right back. If you act like a prick, don't expect me to listen to you.
e. Confessionals are to be updated weekly. Period. There is no excuse for your only entry to be a vote. Diary Rooms are some of the more interesting parts of the game so failure to maintain them will lead to punishments.
f. There is no excuse for not voting. You have a 24 hour period to vote and if you are not available, you are always free to leave a bootlist. Multiple no shows will lead to punishments.
g. Screenshots for proof are prohibited. This includes conversations, confessionals, rankings and votes. Find some other way to win someone's trust or call someone out.
h. Quitting is looked down upon unless it is extreme circumstances. Personal problems and what have you are ok, but if you quit for game reasons, don't expect it to be taken well. In addition, quitting temporally will blacklist you for a number of games.
i. Hit and runs will earn you a flat out ban. This is basically signing up, applying and leaving. So if you do this and then stumble back here a few weeks later for whatever reason, don't be surprised to be staring at a ban message for this and any future games. If you're not interested in something, don't apply. That simple. Feel free to IM me if you want to dispute or clarify a hit and run ban. There are situations where things come up, but unfortunately about 90% of these instances are out of pure laziness.
3. The Blacklist
These people are banned and are never welcome back. Keep in mind that you too can be added to this list by being a complete dumbass and not reading these rules!
1. Evan - Cheating, derogatory remarks, personal attacks and bypassing ban.
2. Patrick - Showcasing a phase of psychotic behavior which included stalking, blackmailing and a basket of other loony-bin goodies. Was foolishly given a second chance and ended up rage quitting in the middle of the game.
3. SohiStud - Extreme asspain, suspected cheating and taking the game way too personal. Is still obsessed with talking shit about this game to people on AIM to this day.
4. Jason - Breaching my admin account, using the information he had access to for several weeks, deleting the board, and completely compromising AllStars 2.
