Since our community is growing and we are all enjoying "the game" of moving up the leaderboard - let's keep it real by gently and nicely pointing out the rules to anyone that fails to live up to the Tribesports Pledge.
Keep the TS Community Honest Challenge rules
“?= How can you complete a challenge that takes two weeks on the second day. I don't care if you can do 350 of something in one go If the challenge says do it 50 times everyother day for the next two weeks you can't be done until two weeks from the day it was created. ”

Laurence M answered the question What can be done?
This is a really interesting discussion. I have to admit sometimes it is tempting to say you have done something when you haven't, but I'm not guilty of it yet! Lol, I have spent a lot of hours on this site since I j...

Im fairly new to it and it seems that the more you use it in general the faster you will rank up, I agree with Sandra its just for fun.. do the challenges to better yourself as a person not to satisfy your ego, thats...

Samarth A answered the question reaching levels
It includes a wide range of activities. Taking challenges increase it but not to much extent!

Carol B answered the question reaching levels
Levels is your total activity rating on the site... so that is all your participation - logging in, etc.

Kasia K I clicked by mistake "I've done this before" the 3min superman position challenge (when trying to actually take it). Then immediately afterwards I completed it, but felt bad about the mistake. So now I deleted it from my achievements and wanted to re-take it, but I can't see it anymore. Does anyone know what happened?

Sarah L created the guide How to keep the TS community honest
On my honour, I pledge to be guided by the ideals of the TS pledge, to measure my achievements by my own high standards, to encourage other people, and to commit to keeping myself physically fit...
Marielle C If I run a 5k as a challenge can i cross out "5k in a day" too? or are those separate? Same as if i run over 1mile on can i cross out that as well or do i have to do it separate?
Sarah L Today I saw a challenge where one of the rules was:
"You can NOT complete this challenge before Spring 2013!!"
It already had 3 completers. I commented on their completion posts saying:
In the rules for that challenge it actually says "You can NOT complete this challenge before Spring 2013!!" I can tell you are a good sportsman so I know this is just an honest mistake but please delete this achievement to keep the challenge fair and accurate. Congratulations on your other achievements.
I feel I was polite but got the point across. They did look like they were genuinely doing good things, their profiles had photos of them running marathons etc, which you can't really fake! Hopefully they just misunderstood the challenge and I helped to clarify it.
encouraged this.
Kudos Sarah--That's my point exactly. Mistakes happen, crazy technology w/t touch phone sensitivity whatever...but, when some TS users repeatedly click every challenge & complete seconds after or keep clicking Done it Before....come on...that's not fair. Yes, it levels up their place in TS, but--it's really the principle of it. I think you & I both had come across several that were like that for challenges we were both doing last month? This month? I forget, but anyhow--point is--it's their conscience. Thanks for backing me up on 1 of them though :*)
encouraged this.
Yes you did help clarify the challenge. I was one of them. I didn't read the rules properly and have now deleted the achievement and re-taken the challenge.

Marielle C One more question :P If i complete the "250 challenges by december" do i have to start counting over if I want the "500 challenges" as well?
encouraged this.
So when I complete the 250 I just keep counting?
Yes :)
Shaikh S encouraged this.
Thank you for your awesome help(:

Marielle C Let's say I take and run a half marathon in less than 2:30 hour, can I cross out anything that's over 2:30 hours as well?
Shaikh S encouraged this.
I guess you could mark the others as "I've done this already" .... there's little to be gained in taking a challenge that isn't a challenge.
I haven't done it yet, but when I do run one
Marielle C And sorry for spamming, but
1. if I take the "Run 40km in October" and the "Run 50km in october" challenge, can I cross out both by the end if I have gone over 50km?
2. If i burn 2000 cals on elliptical, can I cross out everything under or does that only count if I do it in a different workout?
What I meant with 1 was that if I run the 50 km in october can I cross out the 40 too or do I have to run 90 combined
Karen L encouraged this.
No Marielle .... when you get to 40km, mark it complete. Then, after you complete the next 10km, you can complete the 50km challenge ...... its incremental.
Ok, thank you for your help(:
Marielle C And if I take the "burn 500 calories in 1 session", "3 miles on elliptical" and "Burn 500 cals on elliptical" challenges, can I cross them off at the same time or just 1? or?
I would treat these as separate challenges.
Ok, thanks
Marielle C If I take the "log 7000 reps of excerice" challenge and the "log 8000 reps of exercise" challenge, do I do 1 at the time or can I continue on the 8000 after ive completed 7000?
Alan C Can you complete this challenge? Shouldn't 'Read the code of conduct' be the first TS challenge everyone takes? Otherwise its a bit of trial and a lot of error!
encouraged this.
Paris F I'm hitting "complete" an I'm going to keep doing it! ;)

Jonathan H answered the question Logging this yrs milage
There is no reason why not-log your mileage as an update using the 'Post Training Data' tab, and ensure that you update the date correctly. Put up an update up to say what you have done once you have finished if you...

Claire Boo L I totally agree, I myself take on and legitimately complete any challenge on TS that I claim to have done. I understand some people may wish zoom up those rankings, completing challenges left, right and centre but that isn't me. I am only competing against me to push myself harder than ever to smash goals and challenges, climbing the rankings is just a bonus. The way I see it, if I completed challenges I hadn't actually done, I would only be cheating myself and betraying the trust of those people who follow me.
encouraged this.
Very well said Claire.
Tori K answered the question Can you achieve more than one challenge with one activity?
Lucas ~ It makes sense that if you're doing it, and continue to do it then "you've DONE this already" and should check it off.
Lucas M answered the question Can you achieve more than one challenge with one activity?
Heh. You folks are lucky that you can do that. I let myself get so far out of shape that I really AM having to start at the bottom rung of the ability range. Hmm. What is your take on this? Say you don't drink...
Rob R encouraged this.
Cheryl M I realize that this is an ongoing process...were we not supposed to complete it? I figured by "completing" I was vowing to the TS community that I will remain honest in completing any challenges I undertake and that I will hold myself and others accountable to keeping it honest.
i can agree with that.
encouraged this.
I joined TS end of April 2012, and I would like to manually log all my running miles since Jan. so I have it all in one place. Is this Ok to do? Any thoughts out there, since I don't wan't to break any "rules"
Thanks! : )
Vaunette C Gently reminded a few TSers that they needed to continue smiling for 2 more weeks for the Smile on Monday challenge and I said it with a :-) I'm sure it was an oversight, thinking they only had to smile 10 times on 1 Monday instead of 3 :-)

Shawn C answered the question What can be done?
First of all let me say thank you to everyone who took the time to answer this question! It is not my intention to start a witch hunt for cheaters. It was simply driving me crazy to watch someone mark off 20 or so...

Leonard B answered the question What can be done?
Eran made some important points. If it is too much about controlling everything, the spirit of TS will be harmed. I like the community the way it is, such a positive atmosphere cannot be found everywhere. Why both...
Justice B encouraged this.
Why not ask for some advice from other Challenge takers, or read some of the Challenge guides first?
OK, I'll keep working at it!
