Below is written a list of rules outlining expected behavior within all parts of The TomBobBlender Show Community. In all respects, you are to adhere to these standards or risk being banned from participating in the community. These rules are somewhat ambiguous by design so their interpretations can be applied to a variety of circumstances, though you may dispute any bans in the ban appeal section of these forums or with TomBobBlender at any time. The rules are outlined as follows:

INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
Inappropriate language, meaning any language that is commonly found offensive, is not tolerated. Measures have been taken to ensure common such language is taken care of automatically and you will be removed from the community for any infractions of this rule.

DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR
Any behavior that causes a significant amount of unrest or disruption in the community is prohibited. A few examples are bullying, flooding, spamming, and flaming, though such behavior is not exclusively limited to these categories.

URLs
The posting of URLs in the community chatroom is limited to approval by a chatroom operator and must be "safe for work." You are responsible for the content on the website at the posted URL.

PRIVACY
Every user has a right to privacy, so posting sensitive information about another user is prohibited and is a serious offense. No tolerance is given for violation of this rule.

PIRACY
Due to anti-piracy laws in the United States, the sharing of warez and warez sources is strictly prohibited in this community.

ACCOUNTS AND NICKNAMES
While in the community, you may not have any alternate accounts designed to disguise or decieve and only one account may be active at any given time. The use of multple accounts to evade bans is a serious offense and any abuse associated with proxies or vhosts will be reported to the Rizon network staff.


Ban Policies
Standard ban policy is a 15 minute ban for the first offense and double the last ban time for any bans thereafter, unless the offense merits a different punishment.

Getting yourself banned in order to leave the chatroom for any reason unless done so under the rules of a chatroom game (e.g. Banhammer Roulette) will almost always result in a minimum 24 hour ban. This is under the reasoning that the banned user does not expect to return any time soon and would not be affected by a standard ban.

If you have any concerns, questions, complaints, or feedback, please contact TomBobBlender. We advise you do NOT approach a moderator with such issues.
