[N-O] Terms Of Service (TOS)

Due to a few people who think it is funny to spoil the fun of the majority of people I have had to add some specific Terms Of Service.

General TOS for this game

  • You will not add, or remove any scripts or parts from the game items.
  • You will not copy any scripts or parts from the game items into inventory and add them to any other prims.
  • You will not attempt to reverse engineer any scripts or parts of this game.
  • You will not attempt to insert, monitor, or inject commands into the parts of this game.

**** DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LINK THE BLANK ROD TO ANY OTHER ITEM AS THIS WILL BREAK IT AND VIOLATE TOS *****

This game contains built in high level encryption protection and anti-hacking code which reports any changes and commands directly to the game creator.
Breaking of the TOS will be an immediate automatic disabling of the rods from the whole system.
An Abuse Report may also be raised.

The following rules only apply if you enter or run group advertised competitions.

They do not apply for private competitions or if you are using the game outside [N-O] Grid Wide Sport Fishing group advertised competitions.

Attending an advertised competition

  • 1) Show respect and good sportsmanship toward other anglers.
  • 2) Keep [N-O] Grid Wide Sport Fishing chat PG-13. Offensive language and topics are not allowed.
  • 3) Do not post fishing advertisements or links unrelated to [N-O] Grid Wide Sport Fishing.
  • 4) Respect the rules set by landowners hosting competitions.
  • 5) Follow the same guidelines for group chat in local chat during travelling competitions as you are in public, representing our group.
  • 6) Keep personal drama out of local chat at [N-O] Sanctioned Events. Report abuse via Lindens if necessary.
  • 7) Anglers may mute and block individuals they have issues with but must not block game wardens. Blocking a game warden will result in removal from the [N-O] Fishing group.
  • 8) The purchase of an [N-O] fishing rod or possession of [N-O] Competition equipment does not give you license to engage in behaviour that interferes with the peaceful
    enjoyment of other anglers or deemed detrimental to the game itself. Using the game or community around it to intentionally target other anglers for harassment is
    strictly prohibited and while this policy does not allow for random accusations, violations may result in an accounts banning from [N-O]'s external servers.
  • In order to maintain game integrity and a disruption free experience for [N-O] anglers, the use of other fishing systems during an [N-O] Sanctioned Event is prohibited and viewed as a violation of the ToS.

Hosts/Land Owners holding Scheduled or Impromptu fishing competitions advertised in the [N-O] Grid Wide Sport Fishing group


II SCHEDULED COMPETITIONS

  • 9) Priority is given to those competitions listed in the calendar - http://secondlife.fishing/Competitions.php
  • 10) Competitions not held for 3 weeks may be removed from the calendar to allow others to use the time slot. If you are away from SL for more than 3 weeks, your time slot may be made available to others. Contact Bebe if you may have a special circumstance.
  • 11) Hosts may hold a maximum of 3 competitions per week (combined impromptu and scheduled). Existing hosts do not need to remove competitions until their number decreases. Your current comps are grandfathered. This is not a lifetime license to hold the number of comps slots you currently use. If you hold more than three calendar comp slots and you give one up, it can not be traded for another. It is lost.
  • 12) Competitions cannot be held on land where [N-O] owners or Game Wardens are restricted from entering.
  • 13) Competition notices cannot be sent for comps held on land that is not publicly accessible.
  • 14) No competitions are allowed be held on land owned or rented by anyone appearing on the group banned list or by anyone deemed their alts. There is a good reason if someone is banned. Assisting banned persons in their efforts to get around their ban will get you banned along with them.
  • 15) Comp hosts retain all rights and privileges guaranteed to them through their rental or ownership covenants. N-O retains the right of authorizing or sanctioning the privilege of hosting competitions using the N-O fishing system.
  • 16) To maintain good standing a sanctioned comp may not co-mingle or cross promote other fishing systems or games during an N-O Sanctioned competition. This includes displaying signage, chat links, or any other means of advertising other fishing systems 1/2 hr before and 1/2 hr after a scheduled competition.
  • 17) An Anglers use of other fishing systems during an N-O sanctioned competition is a violation of ToS and left to the Host's discretion to maintain the integrity and disruption free angling experience for N-O users.
  • Failure to maintain this standard may result in loss of Sanctioned Competition privileges.
    Failure to comply with the Terms of this ToS may result in an accounts banning from N-O's external servers.

III. POSTING SCHEDULED COMPETITIONS TO [N-O] GRID-WIDE SPORT FISHING GROUP:

  • 18) Post a notice of your scheduled competition 65-10 minutes before the start time. Failure to do so allows others to host an impromptu competition.
  • 19) Only Comp Hosts may post notices for the competition you are currently hosting. Limit your notices to 1 group notices and 3 short (max 4 lines) group chat messages per competition. Please Include the start time in the notice subject line for clarity.
  • 20) Include any competition restrictions (e.g., adult region) in your notice. Do not restrict avatar shape or appearance. Child avatar restrictions in Adult regions are expected per Linden Lab.
  • 21) Sending mass invites for unscheduled competitions or competitions that clash with scheduled ones will result in a ban.
  • 22) Competition notices cannot be sent for comps held on land that is not publicly accessible.
  • 23) For scheduled competitions, the posted SLURL must match the one in the calendar (within the same region) unless the Comp is of a nature which traverses Linden waterways.
  • 24) Do not advertise competitions held on land owned by banned residents.
  • If you wish to hold regular competitions, please use the link below:

IV. IMPROMPTU COMPETITIONS


Impromptu Comps may take place during times when there are no Scheduled Comps or due to the cancellation of a Scheduled Comp. Impromptu Hosts must have previously applied for Group Notice Rights and all rules covered in Section II apply to Impromptus, with the addition of the following:
  • 25) Impromptu competitions must end at least 30 minutes before any scheduled competition. One warning will be issued for violations; further violations will result in loss of notice posting rights. Contact Bebe to restore posting rights.
  • 26) Impromptu competitions should not use names that could be confused with scheduled competitions unless permitted by the scheduled competition owner.
