Yes, we have appointed a FINES MASTER. And who else can it be than our own inimitable @Rob Fisher.

The idea is to help keep Ecigssa alive in good humour. All fines may be paid to the account which helps in keeping this forum running - http://www.ecigssa.co.za/donate/.

Paying is not compulsory to keep it in the great spirit of this forum.

Our Fines Master should be around shortly to state his policy and give more details, if required.

We know he will fine himself too. If not, we can always fire him:D.
 
Fines are fun and are always given in that spirit... Paying of fines is not compulsory but making a donation to the running costs of these forums is always appreciated... You may always pay more or less than the fine as well! So if you just won the lotto or you had a good night at the casino we would love more... and if pay day is still far away and that last Elephant in your wallet is for e-juice then less or zip is the amount.

If you are feeling left out and haven't been fined in a while then you need to abuse the fines master in some way or commit one of the crimes below and that will surely bring you back into the family and attract some financial hardship!

The nice thing about being fined and going to the Donation link is that you get your name up in lights as being a sharing and caring partner in the forums and making a difference!

Finable offences... Including but not limited to...
  1. Getting Vape Mail and not posting pics of it in the Vape Mail thread!
  2. Getting some new e-juice or a new atomiser or a new mod or a new anything and not doing a review on it in the reviews threads.
  3. Saying something is "coming soon" and not giving a rough indication of actually when you expect it...
  4. Getting some e-juice and taking 3 puffs and doing a review... e-juice reviews must be based on puffing for at least 12 hours.
  5. Posting in the wrong threads.
  6. Hijacking threads.
  7. Not posting enough.
  8. Posting too much.
  9. Posting to many "Me too" messages... ie posting too many one liners.
Feel free to add your personal favorites to the list...

PS the fine amount for rule number 3 is Eight Million Rand!

Should you wish to nominate someone for a fine you can do so either by PM to @Rob Fisher or in the thread in LOL's called...

Hey guys,

Great concept, But be wary of trying to fine people for to many things. You need to refine your list of rules and define default charges for each offence.

In my opinion rules such as number 3 and 7 should be removed. Firstly not everyone is a reviewer and you definitely don't want reviews from people who do not know enough as they may give other new vapers a bad opinion on a device or juice just because the reviewer did not have the correct knowledge or skills to do the review in the first place. And number 7, well not everyone has the time on their hands to post here as much as they would like to.

Just my 2 cents ;)
 
I hear you loud and clear @VapeCulture... the fines will only really apply to members who become "family" and who interact and become mates online... we would never fine someone we don't yet know.

Bottom line is that people will want to be fined because then they know they are considered family!

This is a real tongue in cheek initiative and never to be taking seriously. :p
 
Wow matthee what a awesome idea. Let me think on this policy. Really the people on this forum are just amazing :)

Thank for your comments, much appreciated. Personally I hate rules, including default charges, as they tend to take the life out of anything. But we take note of what you have said and if this does not play and forumites do not find it to be fun, we will pull it. Personally, I agree with you on reviews - maybe @Rob Fisher can amend that to say "...and not doing a review or at least your impressions on it..."?

Just a heads up guys... when you are donating or paying fines just remember that the currency is US Dollars! and not SA Rand. Not that I am complaining with the current fines being paid you understand! :D

So when the fine is a Rhino that is $1

An Elephant is $2

A Lion is $5

A Buffalo is $10

And a kitty is $20

I heard a rumour that two of our esteemed family made purchases in the last 48 hours and have not declared them with pictures of the said goods in Vape Mail...

I feel two fines brewing... it looks like there may well be another Elephant or two being demanded! :eek:
 
Great job @Rob Fisher !

Glad you made not having a location under the avatar a fineable offence
 
It was on the list Rob, thats where. Saw it
 
this is a good idea guys, well done to those who thought it up and implemented it
