Buzzen Supported Room Service - Code of Conduct
BSR (Buzzen Supported Rooms) is a Market in Buzzen which deals with
permanent rooms (do not close). They are known by their gold hammer in front
of the room name. The difference between BSR Rooms and a Registered Room
(with butterfly by name of room) is that they are merely a User Created Room
Owned by a User. A Registered Room is created by a Market Manager and hosted
by Buzzen Staff.
A
"Thank You" is given when a donation in the amount of
$50USD or greater is Paid to Buzzen. A "Thank You" consists of support in
your permanent room. The re-assurance we will keep your room on the server
24/7. It also comes with Assistance from BSR Guides who will in fact change
modes and give access to your room. They will help you with abusive chatters
if they are not removable by you and also to stop flooders in your room. By
no means is this payment for that service or for a permanent room.
Donations:
Donation: (a voluntary gift (such as money, service(s) or ideas) made to
some worthwhile cause). It is not a payment that can be refunded or
returned. It is a voluntary payment to help Buzzen give you a better chat
experience. Buzzen reserves the right to dismiss any threat of legal action
over a donation paid on these terms.
BSR Staff Guidelines
By no means is Buzzen responsible for the Owners, hosts, or users in a BSR
Supported room. They are NOT Buzzen official rooms and we do not interject
with the way they are run. We will however, enter and ban for COC issues as
COC issues are Buzzen's responsibility to handle. We do not get involved in
"politics" in a room or room "rules". The Guides of BSR are not to ban
anyone from a BSR Room unless they are returning in multiple nicks avoiding
a ban. That is abuse and COC. We as BSR Staff are there to assist with COC
issues only.
