For Nominees
1 - 1A rules apply here. While we cannot control your actions or your voice (nor would we want to) we will take measure to protect the Poddies Brand. NO threats or illegal activity discussions. Be RESPECTFUL to one another. Be an adult. DON'T cause issues. DON'T be antagonistic. DON'T be hateful. Your nomination for a Poddie could reflect on our Brand and Sponsors. Your conduct on Rumble and Socials does have the potential to reflect on us all. We reserve the right to remove any creator at our discretion based on said breaches of character.
2 - With our brand setting out to be a POSITIVE entity and representation of the Rumble community, we are 100% against ANY of the nominees attacking/slandering/defaming other creators on Rumble and especially other nominees. You can’t really be considered the “Best of Rumble” if you are petty or insulting to the rest of the community.
3 - If there are ANY questions or feedback from the community, send them our way. Our DMs are open and it’s OUR JOB to be there to answer those questions. If there is ANY hostility in said feedback/questions, DON'T engage with them and again, refer them to us. We have and will continue to answer any questions and take in any feedback/constructive criticism and handle that on our end.
4 - Campaign however you feel will garner the most votes for you and your other favorite creators that are nominated. As we are a community and we want the community to vote for EVERY CATEGORY, try to inspire your audience to vote in ALL categories and to watch the videos of those they don’t know particularly. They might just find some new favorites! THERE WILL BE NO PAYING FOR VOTES ALLOWED. POTENTIAL merch prizes or incentives that AREN’T GUARANTEED are allowed.
5 - If you personally feel that another nominee is VIOLATING THESE GUIDELINES, reach out to us. DO NOT start infighting amongst the community. We already have enough of that going on currently. We will take EVERYTHING into consideration and then make a determination based on the facts in front of us. If you feel that there is unfairness afoot, let us know.
If ANYONE violates these guidelines set forth here (we also reserve the right to amend these in the future if need be), there is a strong chance you will be removed from the awards and you will no longer be nominated. Actions that lead up to removal this year will also be taken into consideration for eligibility in the years to come as well.
This is our first year and things are bound to come up that we either haven’t thought of or we didn’t expect. We want this to be the best experience for all involved and strive to make sure we achieve those goals.
In the paraphrased words of a great band, “We need to stop tearing each other down, just to build ourselves up. There is a community failure there and we say enough is enough. In a social media sphere that’s this shady and unstable, how about we all be less petty and hateful.”
