[Question] Official Ruling On Outside Forum Sources

[Luther]

What is the rule concerning member punishment or warnings regarding to issues outside this forum? I was recalled an admin saying that such things wont be accepted again in relation to roleplay permissions and they have no bearings on judgment. But does that apply for general rules and forum moderation? I mean to say can i get punished or be held accountable for something i supposedly said or did outside the realms of this forum.I ask this because certain members have been accused of cheating in competitions with supposedly proof of Skype text messages or whatapp screen shots. Is that legitimately enough to penalize one on this forum]?
Yes or no?

Well, if you cheat in a contest by using Facebook and Skype and someone sends screenshots of it, you will be punished because you cheated in a contest held on NB.

Rule breaking that takes place outside NB cannot be punished inside NB. NarutoBase's staff has no Jurisdiction outside of the forum. However, if people use outside sources to cheat on contests, and you have proof, you can send it to the Contest host, and a moderator of that section or Caliburn. That way, they can determine what course of action is best. In most cases it's disqualification.

If rule breaking cannont be punished outside of narutobase, and said cheating for example or as used in this case is a ''rule breaking'' of such contests or competiton why then is the member susceptible to punishement? Why does it not go both ways? Those ''outside sources'' are out of NB so what ties are you being bound to?

Instead of speaking in riddles, can you actually get to the point and explain what exactly is the situation you're talking about? Because I can't understand if you are talking about the RP, general forum rules, contests or something else. And the reasoning is different for each case and evaluated differently for each of those. And even inside each case, specific situations are evaluated by the admins and, off course, different punishments or rulings may be issued for each different situation.

It's all a matter of moral. However, I didn't say you were punished. I said that with proof, it may end up with the person found cheating being disqualified from the competion. It's about fairness to all those who compete. But we do not ban, infract for stuff done outside of NB. The disqualification being due to the contest being rigged.

If someone is caught cheating in a contest then it does involve NB, even if it's done somewhere else. However if you have a beef with someone outside of NB we are not gonna infract him on NB, as that is not breaking our rules.

It's about who is in charge of the contest. Penalizing is up to the Host's discretion on whether you can take part in the contest or not. It is their contest. They make the rules. They can also change them or disqualify you, if they see fit.
