What are the rules on MP?
|
Not too long ago, I had an admin take off some of my routes because of a few reasons, which I would consider rules. But I couldn't find a list of rules on MP at all. Only some guidelines when adding comments. If an admin or someone else could give me a list of rules, I would appreciate it! |

Alex, you're 14 years old? Don't worry about posting routes, just climb and learn. |
|
Rule #1 don't be a jerk. Rule #2-100 based on how much admin likes you. |

|
i propose a rule where people only tag photos as beta photos if they _actually_ contain some route finding beta. |

The rule is you should always downrate routes you sent on toprope - and it seems like you are following the rule so it's all good. |

Alex, even though you walked face first into this I figured I'd get you a cushion for the ass whooping you're gonna be taking. On a side note, be very careful what wording you use when searching Google for an, um, something nice to sit on. |

Maybe spend less time posting "FA's" of 8' no star boulder problems that aren't even problems. It's probably cool to feel like the site is showing how much you've done as a just-starting-out boulderer but you might want to follow this rule: "Would anyone who is not me, care about this route and benefit from this information due to their desire to repeat what I've done." If you're posting for other people's information, that's good. If you're posting for your ego, that's less good. This one is prob a good example
Lol, This one is awesome: Nothing like downgrading a problem by 3 whole grades.

Give the poor boy a break, he's 14. He has dreams to be a great climber, and hasn't climbed enough to understand MP ethics. |

I mean.... if a troll smells like a troll.... then... probably a troll... |

I just watched the video of the 14 year old, Ruan, sending Just Do It 5.14c at Smith Rock. Takes years to build that strength and understanding. Trying these challenges will make you a valued member in the community, and everything in your past will transfer to new challenges that you pursue. |
