IMPORTANT! General Rules

[Jellybeanjoe]

Normal VHR and Forum rules apply.

Anything that results in an automatic ban (the 12pt list: http://virtualhorseranch.com/phpbb3/vie ... 3&t=118843) will result in you being banned from ALL Christmas in July activities, including the main giveaway.

Anything on the 4pt list (http://virtualhorseranch.com/phpbb3/vie ... 3&t=118843) will be dealt with at my discretion.

Cheating
This is mainly likely to happen on the Hunt, Trivia and Find A Word. Cheating will not be tolerated in the slightest.
Cheating will be dealt with as follows:

Posting/sharing answers on thread:

1st offense: automatic disqualification for that activity. No points/tokens what-so-ever, and if they earned any from previous rounds, it's scrapped.

2nd offense: banned from all activities and denied entry into the Special giveaway. The can still enter the main giveaway.

3rd offense: Ban from Forums (might have our own special Forum made up, so just ban them from that perhaps), denied entry to all giveaways, and all future giveaways.

Reasoning behind such harsh consequences: Sharing answers ruins the whole thing about enjoying Christmas, and letting everyone else enjoy the activities, etc and so forth.

Editing answers after sending them:

As these three activities require players to PM the answers to my special CiJ account, it means players can submit answer, then go back and change them. This is not going to be tolerated.

1st offense: warning and disqualification for that round (can still enter future rounds)

2nd offense: disqualification from that activity, and loss of all earned points/tokens for that activity.

3rd offense (on a different activity): warning and disqualification from the round (can still enter future rounds)

4th offense: banned from all activities and denied entry into the Special giveaway. The can still enter the main giveaway.

Reasoning behind such consequences: If you attend a trivia night in RL, you can't exactly walk up to the judge, get your trivia questions back to change your answers. Can't do it in RL, not going to tolerate it on VHR.
