In these cases, it is permissible to post later AS LONG AS the other members are alerted and the situation is explained.

Demerit

      Protocol

REVISION: Updated August 6, 2019

 

If it is determined that  you have broken one of the listed rules, you MUST perform the voted-upon act of atonement. Here are the requirements to the punishment.

 

  • This act must be embarrassing to the offender.

  • There must be video proof of the act.

  • Failure to upload said video in the next scheduled blog will result in further punishment agreed  upon by the counsel (ie the other blog members). 

  • The punishment must be determined within 24 hours by the counsel. 

  • The punishment cannot be monetary. For example, you cannot make the offender buy the counsel dinner. 

  • This must call upon the attention of the public.

  • No one (except the offender) can be harmed in the process.

  • No substitutions ie no one other than the offender can be performing the act of atonement in the video.

  • No racial profiling (just covering all the bases here). 

 

IF act of atonement causes genuine mental distress, consult with counsel for potential alterations to the assignment. For example, if the task is to shake the hands of 5 strangers and this induces excessive anxiety, the counsel might decide to require shaking the hands of 4 strangers. Another alternative would be to do a funny dance. 

 

The video must be recorded in the following format.

  1. Read the following statement OUT LOUD in a public space with the attention of at least 10* spectators. If people don’t seem to be paying attention, you must make a strong effort to gain their attention :

I (state your name) have broken the rules of the sacred blog. I (state your offense) now must perform my act of atonement as repentance for my wrongdoing.

  1. Perform the counsel-approved punishment.


 

*number of people can be negotiated if space is adequately small


 

Sample Punishments:

  1. Shake the hands of 5 Japanese men if you are in Japan.

  2. Do your BEST mime act.

  3. Learn/write a rap and perform it.

  4. Wave your arms in a squiggly fashion and say “I’m an octopus”

  5. RP a famous singer and perform some bars of their songs.
