Rule violations

Rule violations are serious integrity or policy breaches—not mechanic-only publication blocks or honest freshness mistakes handled in verification.

A Rule Violation in the enforcement sense means behavior covered under Abuse & manipulation policy and related rules: fabricated or recycled proof beyond platform controls, systematic gaming, harassment of reviewers, or other prohibited conduct as published.

It does not mean:

  • Publication blocked because the activity fails the race mechanic for that event.
  • A single declined submission where the athlete fixes evidence and publishes correctly.

Escalation path, penalties, and Disqualification are tied to severity and repeat behavior—see those articles.
