R.I.M. + Rule Breakers

Hey Jammers! Today is Monday, ever so sadly. But without this dreaded day of the week we wouldn't have one thing: Rare Item Mondays.

If we use gems in Jamaa as currency, and we buy this necklace, doesn't it mean we're actually buying money? And to top it off there aren't that many gems attached to the necklace... So could this count as a scam? *gasps as the mysteries of the universe are revealed*

Now for the second focus of this post: people who blatantly break the rules and don't care. I'm not talking about new players being confused– I'm talking about scammers, people who make "clubs," people who are just outright rude, and etc. How do you feel about these people? Do you think it's anyone's responsibility to step in and stop it? Or do you just like irritating the rule breaker for fun until they give up? 

...Or maybe you just prefer to ignore the situation without getting involved?

Personally, I think that if what the "rule breaker" is doing isn't too serious (anything thats not bullying or harassment), I'd hop right in and annoy the person who's scamming or being inappropriate until they just log off. Annoying them, for example by telling everyone in the room that this is obviously a scam (which also helps!) so people don't send them betas or whatever, OR typing out a really awful freestyle about how they're breaking the AJ rules which eventually irritates them so much that it drives them out the room. 

But if the issue is something more serious, like bullying, I would try to be supportive of the person being bullied and report the bully.

So... what would you do? 

Well I don't have much else to say, so...

See you in Jamaa!

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!

Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D

P.S. That's a bear emoticon up there. ^
