RULES FOR THE PAL-MSP $UPVOTE BOT

Peace Abundance and Liberty/Minnow Support Project Server

---

Rules for upvote!

Use only the #upvote channel to upvote!

1. You can only upvote once every 24 hours exactly - not sooner!

2. Make sure you wait at least 21 minutes after you post before upvoting!

If you try to up-vote before the 24 hour cool-down or before 20 minutes after posting, you will receive a message giving your cool down time.

The bot no longer times you out for failed votes. When the bot votes successfully, you will see two lines below your post. The top line will verify you are up-voted. The bottom line will give you your cool-down time, which is now 24 hours.

3. Each post may only be voted on once by minnowsupport.

If your friend or another person from minnowsupport uses their $upvote attempt to upvote your post, you cannot also upvote the same post with the minnowsupport bot.

4. Make sure your post url link is correct - not one from a comment!

5. Make sure the command is written correctly > $upvote "url link"

6. Do not try to upvote a post older than 6 days old; the bot will not upvote your post.

7. If you post plagiarized text or photos, are marked by cheetah or steemcleaner, or found to have too many low quality posts, the moderators may mute you, which means you lose your upvote priviledges.

Please familiarize yourself with theses two articles:

the Steemcleaners Plagiarism Guide,

and Photo plagiarism: If You Publish An Image, You'd Better Own The License For It

Generally posts with at least 100 or more words of original content is acceptable. If the moderators find that you are upvoting low quality posts, they can choose to mute you.

Definition of low quality posting

For example if you are posting only a meme, a generic youtube clip or an unoriginal photo with few words, quoting the daily weather, sports scores or crypto prices without any qualifying specific and detailed interpretation, or using unoriginal art or graphics without proper citation and with little original content, this is considered low quality content.

We consider this low effort posting and will no longer allow it to be upvoted by the minnowsupport bot. If you improve the content quality and make Original posts for a few weeks, you may go through Probation in order to get the mute lifted.

We all work hard to delegate our steem power to the minnowsupport bot and it is being used a lot. We want those votes going to people who are making great contributions to steemit.

If you have an issue with the upvote bot not working as you expect it to or need help with another matter, please ask in general chat shallow-end.

Please do not try to upvote a post in any another channel except for the upvote channel.

We are a networking resource first and foremost. We are starting to build many communities and channels here on the MSP-PAL server in order to meet other people who participate on the Steemit platform.

YO! PAY ATTENTION!!

Here a few basic guidelines that will help you here as you get started:

---

READ THE CHANNEL DESCRIPTIONS!
Feel free to explore the many channels and read their descriptions. Always check the channel descriptions to learn more about what a room is for. At the top of each page, you can read the channel title and description, where you will see the rules and topic of the channel posted there. Reading the description will often answer most of your questions. If you aren't sure or have a question, feel free to ask! Someone will be around to try to help out.

CHECK OUT THE PINNED MESSAGES!
Feel free to click on the pins, which are located to the upper right hand side of each page after the channel description. Always check pinned posts to learn more about what a room is for. Often there will be additional information, such as helpful posts, resources, rules and guides to help you along the way.

NO STEEMIT POSTS IN MOST CHANNELS!
You can direct people to your blog in DMs or conversation, but we do not link dump in this server, with the exception of the #post-promotion channel. In topic specific rooms that do allow linking, we encourage discussion, not just link pasting. Please try to contribute to the discussion!

NO PORN, VIOLENCE, OR PERSONAL INSULTS AND ATTACKS!
This server is 13+, and while certain channels can become a little explicit, we do not tolerate violent rhetoric. We do encourage everyone to resolve conflict peacefully and to ask for a moderator if you need help.

USE the BOTS in the CORRECT CHANNELS ONLY!
Upvote posts in #upvote, register in #registration, promo in #post-promotion. If the moderators have to warn you too many times about the rules, they may remove you from the server.

NO VOTE4VOTE or FOLLOW4FOLLOW BEGGING!
Not only is this annoying, it won't help in the long run! Please don't do this in Discord or in the Steemit comments!
