Everyone is in jail

There are a huge number of people in jail for not following the rules which presents a huge resource waste of possible votes for the rest of us. How does one get people to follow rules, post right there on the Home Page? Send Vinnie "the bull" and Louis "four fingers" over to enforce them?

Moderators are doing a great job, but come on people, the rules are not that hard, and don't be surprised there are rules.

Love your post!



Yes we try our best to keep the site clean but its up to the users to follow our rules as well. I created a new idea for the community to vote on about how long we should let them wait before we just plain old bann them. There are people that might forget to visit but come back the next day to return and then get unlocked but its thoes that think they are better than all the rest of us and don't return the votes that are causing the worst problems.

If you use our site you follow our rules. I beleve they are not over powering and they are just here to make sure everyone is treated fairly and that they return the votes.

I try to check my post twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night, it works for me and keeps things up to date. I agree with the 48 hour rule, coming back once a day is not that difficult, and if it is, maybe you should not be in voting contests which require considerable time commitment. The only other thing is suggesting people make a bookmark of their contest so it is easy to check, click on bookmark and boom you are there, no searching through the list. I figure if those in the jail were active, I might get another 50 votes more or less, which could mean the difference between winning and losing.

I wish I could suggest a magic solution.

:-) I made sure to read the rules first as a noob. I have no doubt I'll do something wrong, but I hope to engage the community with sufficient etiquette to not be a huge burden/bother.

with 3k+ users I don't think some rules and organization are out of line after all ;-)

I'm new! I hope I won't go to jail, as I'm usually pretty good about rules! I only screw up if I don't understand something..but doubt that will happen here- the rules are very straight forward..so give me a PM if I mess up and I'll deal with it quickly for sure!

I just love these old monopoly cards.
The rules seems rather simple but it could be a good idea to hand these cards for people. Just in case they get stuck in a bind.
