REPOSTED
1. This contest is for FUN. It is coming out of a moderators own pocket and all expenses, time and everything else is volunteered by me and other mods. Me, rollitup.org, or any mods' with the appropriate power DO reserve the right at ANY TIME DURING THIS CONTEST to not only cancel the contest if things get out of hand, but to also change rules as we see fit, change prizes as we see fit and cancel or change ANY other part of this contest or the prizes that we see fit. We ( me mostly) hope that it does not come down to this and I will do everything in my power to make sure we see this contest to the end. But shit does happen, things change, people have things in real life that come up all the time, so if for some reason somehting happens to me or anyone else helping run this contest please do remember that as a mod and as a forum me and rollitup.org reserve the right to alter, change or do anything else we see fit with this contest. again, Please remember we are ALL doing this for free, in our ''free'' time and this is not my job or anyone else's. I do this shit because I love this forum and I love this community and like to give back. All i expect for doing this is a simple thank you and some karma points and honestly I dont even expect that. It is what it is and i hope everyone can have lots of fun. All i can do is give you my personal word that this will be seen through until the end UNLESS something major or life changing comes up in my life and for some reason im unable to continue. If this does happen i will do my best to find someone to fill my positiion and see it until the end but it would severley alter the contest. again we do not forsee or think anything like this would or will happen but I must put it down to cover my ass
Let me make a final remark about privacy of personal information of the winners. ALL winners in order for me to send you your prize will have to give me there name, address and a few other personal things in order for me to get you the prize in a timely manner. I want to give my personal word and guarentee that when this information is given to me, and ME only, Not only will it be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy but I will treat this information as if it were MY OWN personal information. I take privacy VERY very fucking seriously and i refuse for one second to let that trust or information fall into the wrong hands. Please rest assured that any info given to me will be taken thru the necessary steps to ENSURE that my eyes are the ONLY pair of eyes that view this information. Further, ALL information given to me by any winner will not only be destoryed after i have sent your prize but I will go through all the necessary steps to ensure that the info will be forever un-viewable by anyone else. If it makes you feel more comfortable we can even exchange this information through OTHER routes that are NOT on this site (rollitup.org) as in you can send me the info thru a private email, a TOR email for anonymity, encryption and security, you can also send it via Instant message service, or something like that. we could even exchange it over your personal phone if that makes you feel safe and even snail mail. honestly i dont care and i will provide the options to the winners when that time comes but i just want EVERYONE to know whether you win or not. ALL PERSONAL INFO WILL BE KEPT VERY PRIVATE, VIEWED BY ME ONLY (NO OTHER MOD, MEMBER OR EVEN OWNER OF RIU.ORG WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT) Furthermore, You info is very important to me and will NEVER be used or sold by me or any other person or mod and riu.org for monetary gain or for marketing purposes. Basically it will go from You, to me, to an envelope to send your prize, to a shredder, to ash, to my plants pots for nutrients. that is it end of story.
**One more thing i want to reiterate: NEVER FOR ANY REASON GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE EXCEPT ME FOR THIS CONTEST. IF SOMEONE (A MOD OR OTHERWISE) MESSAGES YOU SAYING THEY NEED OR WANT YOUR INFO FOR THIS CONTEST OR ANY OTHER REASON THEN PLEASE REPORT IT TO ME, SUNNI, OR ANY OTHER MOD HERE. THEY ARE MOST LIKLEY TRYING TO STEAL YOUR PERSONAL INFO AND WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY BY OUR STAFF. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON TRUST ANYONE WITH YOUR INFO FOR ANY REASON AND ESPECIALLY REASONS PERTAINING TO THIS CONTEST. ONLY THE WINNERS WILL HAVE TO GIVE OUR THEIR INFO AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL BE GETTING THAT INFO NO ONE ELSE, NOT ANY OTHER MOD, NOT ANY OTHER JUDGE, I TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUS AND IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE SITUATION PLEASE END ALL COMMUNICATION WITH ANY PERSONS AND EITHER CONTACT ME OR A GLOBAL MODERATOR IMMEDIATLEY (SUNNI, OBIJOHN, POPLARS, ROLLITUP)
