Online staking board: Ground rules and disclaimer

[TightEnd]

After much consideration we have decided to introduce two new child boards

- Online tournament Staking (child board of Internet Poker)

- Live tournament staking (child board of Live Poker)

There will of course be some basic ground-rules for members to observe.

- You may offer to stake players, or ask for staking, or apply for an offer of staking, but only if you have a minimum of 300 forum posts and have been a member of the forum for at least three months.

- Posts should detail in full the proposal to be discussed, rates and amounts available to produce transparency in all instances.

- Begging posts will be removed

- Names of those staking an individual can remain confidential to PMs

- blonde Poker will not become involved in disputes as to the stake itself under any circumstances but will moderate public boards in line with its guidelines for flaming etc.

- This will be non-commercial for blonde Poker.

- No offers of staking should be accompanied by offers to join affiliate schemes or similar for the long term financial gain of the participants. the blonde staking board should not be used as a tool to build up affiliate programmes

Please note the addition to the guidelines in bold above.

We have removed Gregior's thread as he does not hit the 300 post threshold at the point of the original post

""No offers of staking should be accompanied by offers to join affiliate schemes or similar for the long term financial gain of the participants. the blonde staking board should not be used as a tool to build up affiliate programmes"

In a small change to further enhance members' comfort with this service, members with less than 300 posts are now unable to post on the staking boards as a result of an admin permissioning change where you now need 300 not 250 posts to be a full member
