Any rule breaking will result in a ban/kick, with or without warning, no exceptions.
All rules are subject to change at any time
Any performers that break the rules will be removed from the performance sheet.
1. You can and will be skipped (and you will be required to sign up again) if…
A. The OMN Staff can not find you in the OMN Lounge.
B. You are not prepared when it comes to your turn.
2. Be respectful of everyone that is performing, and everyone present during Open Mic Night events.
- Do not post hateful or unnecessary comments in the chat. (This includes constructive criticism.)
- Keep the chat relevant to the performance, or at least Open Mic Night.
- If the event is taking place over MCGamer’s TeamSpeak, do not poke, message, or distract the performer in any way.
3. Be respectful to all Staff and their decisions. This includes MCGamer staff as well as OMN Staff.
- This includes interfering and/or commenting on a punishment from the OMN TeamSpeak and/or punishments received on any MCGamer server.
4. Do not use caps, colored, bold, italicized, underlined, or any special text in the chat unless you are an OMN Staff member.
5. You are only allowed to sign up yourself. Do not sign up someone else, and do not sign up under a false name.
- If someone wants to sign up, they can do that themselves.
- If you are caught signing up under a false name, you will no longer be allowed to perform at OMN. You may also face further consequences.
6. Do not record unless the performer says it is alright. This is illegal, even if you are keeping it just for yourself.
- We aren’t stupid, we know you can record with a 3rd-Party application and just not tell anyone that you recorded anything. However, we expect all users to be courteous enough to be respectful and not record anyone that does not wish to be recorded.
- If we ask you to stop recording and you ignore the request, you will be kicked from the server and/or channel. If you return (recording), you will be banned.
7. Any racially offensive, derogatory, or crude content will be prohibited.
- This will result in a permanent ban from the TeamSpeak server. We have a zero-tolerance policy for this.
8. Only 1 “Shout-Out” is allowed per performance. Shout-Outs reduce a lot of the time we have for performers and multiple shout-outs often get out-of-hand.
- If you start to make multiple shout-outs, your talk privileges will be removed and we will move on to the next performer.
9. You may not change your sign-up time. (I.e. If you need to leave early, we can’t bump your performance up the list.)
10. Please do not sign up to perform numerous times for one event. (Maximum of 2-3 Performances, please)
- We want to give everyone a chance to perform, and it is a bit rude to allow one person to perform throughout the entire night while others get no chance.
