THE RULES FOR COMPS/POLLS/RAFFLES

THE RULES FOR COMPS/POLLS/RAFFLES

COMPS:

1. To enter comps you must be a member of my club Hotbuys_Bazaar and a public follower of this blog.

2. Your entry must be posted in comments under the comp before the end date stated in the post.

3. All entries are viewed once the comp has ended by our judges.

4. Only 1 entry per person unless otherwise stated. Doing 2 items does not make you have a better chance.

5. You can not use photoshop, paint or album stickers on your entry unless it is specifically stated.

ANY ENTRIES POSTED AFTER THE END DATE WILL NOT BE CHECKED.

6. A winner will be announced when judging is completed. Generally within a week after the comp is over. It may sometimes take longer depending on my RL schedule.

7. It is your responsibility to follow the blog and know whether you won a comp. (See the collecting prizes page for more info)

8. Everyone must register their stardoll name in the chat box to enter comps/polls or raffles.

*New members must be registered and active at least 2 months before entering comps.

* You can NOT enter with accounts that are: "blank" accts (no or low friends or no presentation), business accounts (ex: accounts that have a business name or are used to sell things etc..), Alternate accounts or NEW accounts that are less than 4 months old or do not have equivalents starpoints (starpoints must match the account age and show activeness).

* AGE must be shown on your stardoll presentation page (not enforced atm)

* Adults - do not qualify for codes  and may not qualify for extremely rare prizes. It's more for fun. Maximum adult sd prize is $100sd.

* Number of entries may impact whether prize can be awarded for large prizes ( or prize may be forfeited or reduced).

*Prize may also be reduced if judges or myself do not feel their is an entry that met out expectations.





POLLS:

Polls are for Blog Readers and Club Members ONLY

1. You must be a member of my club Hotbuys_Bazaar to be in polls

2. Your entry must be posted in comments under the comp before space is full to be included in polls

3. Generally it is 1st come 1st serve. Meaning that blogs are mostly limited to the first 20-30 people to write in my GB.

4. I may not include you in a poll if your outfit is similar to someone who contacted me before you or you covered the HB or item for the poll.

5. You can NOT ask others to vote for you.

6. You can only enter polls under 1 account and 1 IP ADDRESS.

7. Prizes for polls are usually $50sd or 50sd worth of gifts (Non-superstars). Superstars get the $50sd by selling a non-wanted item to me for $50sd.

8. It is your responsibility to follow the blog and know whether you won a poll.

9. Everyone must register their stardoll name in the chat box to enter comps/polls or raffles.

*See the prizes page for more info

You will be disqualified if you are suspected of cheating by breaking rules 5 or 6.

If you know someone breaking the rules please tell me as it's unfair to others.

POLL CHANGES

Added 10/14

Due to the increasing popularity of the polls, I feel it necessary to make some adjustments..

Depending on the number of people we have for a poll...

1. ACTIVE Members (Frequent commenters/participants) will have priority.

This means that even though you posted 1st, you COULD be replaced in the poll by someone who is more active.

2. You could be replaced by someone who has a more fashionable outfit than you.

* Too many are just throwing an outfit together regardless of the way it looks or with just no effort. We are a fashion blog. The point of the polls is to show different, fashionably unique ways of wearing these clothes.

3. You may be replaced if your HB/designer inspired item is barely seen.

Do not COMPLETELY cover it up, we want to see it. Anyone can make an outfit with just a tiny bit of the item showing. It should be your main piece.

4. The rules are that you must be a member of my club, follower of the blog and registered in the chat box to be included in polls.

I enforce this more when we have more people. I also look at the other rules like age of account etc..

5. You may be replaced if you do not have an appropriate amount of Starpoints to match the age of your account.

This means that if you have an account opened in 2007, but only have 1200 starpoints..you would be replaced. This would lead me to suspect that this is not your main account and you are cheating to win.





RAFFLE/GIVEAWAY:(NO LONGER RELEVANT)

1. Random raffles may be held for special events. WE NO LONGER DO THESE SINCE WE HIT 1000 FOLLOWERS.

They are done each month and to reward active members

2. You must be an ACTIVE PUBLIC follower of this blog AND a member of my club Hotbuys_Bazaar to be included in raffles.

3. Your stardoll name must be on your blogger profile. (see other rules below)

4. You must have a picture uploaded for your blogger icon. It can be any picture just not blank.

5. We use a lottery software called the hat for raffles/Giveaways.

If you do not follow the rules above you can not win and another person will be chosen.

6. You can only follow under 1 account. If we discover you are using multiple blogger accounts to increase your chances at winning you will be disqualified or banned.

7. It is your responsibility to actively check the blog and know whether you won and contact me within the 24 hour time frame. (See the prizes page for more info)

8. Prizes can range from stardollars/codes to rares.

9. Everyone must register their stardoll name in the chat box to enter comps/polls or raffles.



Stardoll Account Rules:
* You can NOT enter with accounts that are: "blank" accts (no or low friends or no presentation), business accounts, alternate accountsts or NEW accountsts that are 3 months old or younger.

* AGE must be shown on your stardoll presentation page (not enforced atm)

*Rules are subject to change at anytime so stay updated.
