RAoM RULES

Please read all of RAoM's rules carefully. If you break a rule, you will get a warning. If you receive three warnings, you will be temporarily or permanently banned depending on the situation. These rules apply here at RAoM and at RAoM's tinychat.

GENERAL RULES

1) No begging or glam phishing whatsoever.

2) If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

3) No drama.

4) Under no circumstance should you ask someone how much money they make or how they can afford things. This is rude and makes people uncomfortable.

5) RAoM is open to all ages. Please keep content appropriate and not overly explicit.

6) Please only provide constructive criticism if the OP requests CCW (constructive criticism welcome). Do not ask if CC is okay or offer CC if it is not explicitly asked for by the OP. OPs who want CC need to put “CCW” or a clear variation allowing CC in the post title or a comment.

7) Please use the appropriate flair tag when making a post. Any unflaired posts will be removed without warning if flair is not added within 5 minutes of posting. All venting/ranting should be posted in the weekly vent post made by the mods. Any vent/rant posts will be spammed.

8) Personal flair text is for wishlist links only. Any alternate text or short-links (eg: tinyurl, goo.gl, bitly, etc) are not allowed in the flair area.

9) Haul posts should include only cosmetic items. Please leave out items not relevant to the sub.

10) Do not share your own or ask for anyone's social media handles in any form other than in a private message. Please do not create lists, or ask in any public forums. Also do not link pictures or any other posts from your facebook/instagram/twitter, etc. and do not link to these places in the comments of a post. Posting or linking to other members' pictures outside the sub is not allowed without their permission.

11) Self-promotion is allowed, within reason.

• No use of referral links is allowed, please do not post referral links within your post or in any comments.

• No linking to your blog, YouTube channel, etsy shop as a post. You may use watermarked images from your blog separately linked (URLs from Imgur, not from your blog) and you may only link to your blog or makeup-related etsy shop in the comments of your own post. This does not mean you should share every time you have a new blog post. /r/beautyblogs would be a better subreddit for that and you will lose the privilege of sharing your blog/etsy shop if you add it too often (this is up to mod discretion) - essentially we want to encourage discussion without fostering posts purely for page views.

• You can also advise people that your blog is listed on the blogger list.

12) No posts announcing other subreddits, however, we will be happy to add it to the list of related subreddits if you message the mods.

13) Please remember to post a [Thank You] when you are glammed or receive a [Contest]/[Giveaway] prize.

RULES FOR GLAMMING

1) No mystery glamming. Usernames of the giftee MUST be included in the "Glammed" post title.

2) Provide screenshots with the order number clearly visible. If you can't make a screenshot, include the order number in your post. If you are mailing a glam, please include a picture of your receipt that shows the tracking number.

3) Block out any personal information including last name, city, state, and zip code in any screenshots and pictures.

4) If you receive a glam, make a [Thanks] post. Someone was generous and sent you a gift and they deserve to be thanked, so posting a [Thanks] is now mandatory. If you glam someone and they haven't posted a thank you but you know they have received it, please message the mods.

RULES FOR CONTESTS & GIVEAWAYS

1) Contests or giveaways requiring participants to pay for shipping, purchase an item, glam someone, etc. or cross posted (xposted) from other subreddits or other websites are not permitted.

2) Differences between a Giveaway and a Contest:

Giveaway - Item is given to a participant and requires no additional participation on behalf of those entering.

Contest - Items are given to a winner as chosen by the contest holder. Additional participation may be required in the form of posting a certain look, answering a riddle, etc.

3) Three posts must be made in the course of a contest in this order: 1. [Contest] - announces the contest and provides necessary information (detailed below); 2. [Winner(s)] - announces the winner(s), must include name of contest in post title; 3. [Glammed] - announces that the prize(s) has(have) been sent out with image verification posted or sent to mods, must also include name of contest in post title.

For HOSTS:

1) Posts must include:

• What the prize is. If it is an item you are sending, you must include a picture with your username for verification. If you want the prize to be a surprise, send the verification picture to the mods.
• How many winner(s) there will be.
• How the winner will be chosen (picture submission, riddle, etc). The method for choosing a winner must be disclosed within the body of the post. Do not ask for suggestions on how to pick a winner in your post.
• Where you are willing to send the gift. AUS? CAN? US? UK? International?
• When the contest ends. (if you need to extend the end date of a contest please first message the mods)

2) A [Winner(s)] thread with winner name(s) must be posted within 24 hours of the contest ending. THIS IS REQUIRED. If you enter a contest and notice a [Winner(s)] post hasn't been made by the contest holder after the date they said it would end, please message the mods.

3) A [Glammed] thread must be posted within 7 days of contest closing or contest/giveaway holder may be banned. Message the mods if there are any difficulties or reasons you may not make this deadline. If the host mailed the prize themselves, they must include a picture of the postage receipt. Adding a tracking number is not required but it is helpful in case the prize does not reach its destination.

4) Flash contests/giveaways (those ending within 24 hours) will not be listed on Sidebar or Wiki page.

5) All hosts reserve the right to designate a winner at their own discretion.

6) If the host needs the address(es) from winner(s), they must send the winner(s) a private message in addition to the [Winner(s)] post. If the winner does not reply to the message within 48 hours, the host must choose a different winner and original winner gives up their prize. In addition, the host MUST message the mods with the new winner.

7) If you need to make a change to your contest or giveaway, please reach out to the moderators before you make the change/edit your post. We need to be informed of any changes that are made to your rules, end-date, etc.

For PARTICIPANTS:

1) Be sure to read all rules and qualifications necessary to participate in the contest/ giveaway.

2) Watch out for a [Winner(s)] thread once contest/ giveaway closes. Please message moderators if the [Winner(s)] are not posted within 24 hours and if a [Glammed] thread for winner(s) is not posted within 7 days of the contest ending.

3) Do not post comments which coerce the host to change the theme, method of picking winner, or your disagreement with the winner chosen.

4) A [Thanks] thread must be posted when item is received.
