Policies & Guidelines

Games Galore and More is a community where people come together to play games, enjoy special events, share music, socialize, and make friends. These guidelines are intended to help keep GGM welcoming, enjoyable, and fair for everyone.

These policies apply to participation on the Games Galore and More TeamTalk server, GGM email lists, games, and events. Management may update these policies when necessary. The current version will always be available on this page.

Membership

GGM members use their real first name or a recognizable variation of their name. When more than one member uses the same name, an initial or other identifier may be used to distinguish between them.

Membership accounts are intended for individual use. Members should normally access GGM using their own account and device.

Friends and family members are welcome to listen to or participate in appropriate events with a member. Please let the host know when a guest is participating.

During individual games, guests should not assist a player with answers or decisions unless the rules of that game specifically allow it. Guests may assist when participation is a team effort.

Active Members

An active GGM member:

1. Attends at least four scheduled GGM events per month.
2. Maintains an active and current account on the GGM server.
3. Logs into TeamTalk regularly using their own device.

Accounts that have not been used for two months may be removed from the server. Former members are welcome to apply again if they wish to return.

Certain benefits, including eligibility for prizes, giveaways, and free Auction Bucks, may be limited to active members.

The GGM Babble email list is available to members as a place to socialize and share items of interest. The GGM Announcements list is open to members and nonmembers.

Community Conduct

Our basic rule is simple: treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Be courteous and respectful toward other members and guests. GGM includes people of different ages and backgrounds, so please use appropriate language and consideration when participating in public rooms, games, email lists, and events.

Members and guests are expected to follow reasonable directions from an event host or GGM management while participating in GGM activities. Hosts and management may take reasonable action when necessary to maintain an enjoyable environment or to ensure that games and events are conducted fairly.

TeamTalk Audio

Members are responsible for preventing their screen reader, TeamTalk announcements, or other device audio from interfering with an event.

If you use external speakers, TeamTalk announcements that can be heard by other participants should be silenced. Members using headsets are not affected when their device audio cannot be heard through TeamTalk.

Instructions for configuring TeamTalk and screen readers are provided separately from these policies.

Younger Members

Members age 18 or younger may not participate in GGM TeamTalk channels before 4:00 PM local time on days when school is in session.

This restriction does not apply during school holidays or vacation periods.

Recording of Events

Games Galore and More management reserves the right to record events held on the GGM TeamTalk server.

Recordings may be made for administrative, review, archival, promotional, or other purposes related to the operation of Games Galore and More. Prior notice or acknowledgement that an event is being recorded may not always be provided.

By participating in GGM events, members and guests acknowledge that an event may be recorded.

Technology and Liability

GGM members sometimes share information, software recommendations, technical assistance, and other resources with one another.

Games Galore and More and its volunteers are not responsible for damage to computers, mobile devices, software, accounts, or data resulting from information, software, instructions, or other resources obtained through GGM.

Members are responsible for deciding what software or instructions they choose to use and for protecting their own devices and data.
