Initiatives (giveaways, contests, group buys, etc.) policy
All initiatives such as giveaways, contests, group buys, etc. are either organized by SRP staff or in cooperation with SRP staff. They can only be conducted according to the rules and decisions of SRP staff. This does not apply to individual instances such as giving away a razor or a brush, or other minor stuff.
This policy has been put in place to avoid legal and other consequences for SRP. First and foremost, SRP staff need to take into consideration about what is best for the SRP community and for the SRP's reputation.
1. If a group buy goes sour and someone takes off with the money, we are left with the aftermath.
2. If someone were to run a high stakes contest with himself as the sole judge, it has the potential to tear this community apart.
3. If someone were to organize an activity that involves valuable items with a dodgy ownership status, or which would involve taxes, or which would violate gaming laws, we would be the ones answering questions from men with suits.
As soon as anything needs organizing or becomes more valuable, it needs the written approval of SRP staff. If you intend to run such an initiative contact a Moderator via PM or email.
Please don't make us do our Mod Jobs
It is clearly against the rules on the open forum, you can take this to pm's or you can get a Mod involved but Group buys cannot just be posted on the forum..
