Keep the TS Community Honest

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

  1. Not all types of physical activity are suitable for everyone. Users take Challenges and training advice at their own personal risk.

“?= 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. ”

Elliot K Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Sports-iqbronze Elliot K answered the question reaching levels

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...

Kasia K Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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 Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorsilver 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.

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 Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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?

20130417162852-mariellechristin

So when I complete the 250 I just keep counting?

Marielle C Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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.

20130428001302-karenl

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.

20130417162852-mariellechristin

I haven't done it yet, but when I do run one

Marielle C Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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?

20130417162852-mariellechristin

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.

20130428001302-karenl

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.

Contributorgold 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?

20130428001302-karenl

I would treat these as separate challenges.

Claire Boo L Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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.

Cheryl M Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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.

Pohanfu J and Frank P encouraged this.

Vaunette C Keep the TS Community Honest  Challenge

Contributorgold 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 :-)
