by not allowed to run, we mean, you can play but you wont be allowed to win a trophy.
And if it was a stupid rule, it would not be there. It is not stupid because many mods have abused their powers for their run. So because of that, we do not allow any mod to run while moderating a gold heart game. No mod has ever done a gold heart report and allowed to run at the same time. A mod is not even allowed to play for a runner if they had modded any gold hearts. Asking mod friends to refund hearts is another thing. You can't keep people from chatting with friends.
A rule is there for a reason. It has been there for everybody and we are not going to make an exception, especially for someone like gerry who has been accused of meta abusing on each of his run.
plenty of mods have been running in the past and link reports in mod chat asking for the verdict or refund in their favor. which is really immature behavior and incorrect, but also goes to show you that some mods would do really stupid things if that rule didnt exist
if i recall, the rule was once you get 1000 score, you're running. so anything underneath that qualifies you as a non-runner and you can do golden hearts. but then again, if you decide you're running before that, it's fine to not do them before you get 1k
most of these sacred mod rules you guys hold to your heart are stupid, what if he waits 2 days into the round, only plays 5 hearts per day then on the last 2 days of the round flies to the top of the board, all while handling reports because no one knew he was running
would you go and tell him to undo all the reports he already did?
YEAH, i am going to burn my laptop because i had 2 wrong reads. Not lying, I will. It actually sucks. Those reads suck, but they had legit reasoning behind them. How can someone vote a cop claim before cop claimed and say that he voted coz he did not like his cop claim.
