IBW: Rulebreaks and Punishments.

It has come to the Board's attention that the current punishment system is very lenient, and very unsatisfactory. The Warning System seems to be too lenient in some places. Therefore, a new set of punishments will be put into place to try to keep rulebreaks under control.


  • Minor rulebreaks will be handled accordingly, and will be dealt with with an automatic loss for that week’s Collision. Therefore, if your rulebreak is deemed a minor one, but still something that should be punished, you will lose that week on Collision, or even at the Pay Per View. If you still promo well, you’ll be dignified in your loss, with an honest loss and such things.

    • But, your opponent will still have something they can shoot for. If your opponent outpromos you that week, along with the rulebreak, the match will be turned into a squash match. Not-so-dignified.


  • On to more severe punishments. If the rulebreak is deemed too severe for the single-loss punishment, it will turn into two match losses for you in the future, at Collision or on the PPV. Same rules as above follows, you may earn a dignified loss, or your opponent may turn it into a squash match.

  • Now for the most severe punishment. Temporary banning. If your offense is severe enough where we, as a Board, feel that you need some time away from IBW, then you will be banned. No exceptions. The amount of time you are banned will be determined by your offense, but the maximum amount of time you can be banned is one month.
    Fear Mjolndick, the banhammer, and may you never be crushed by it.


These are the punishments for rulebreaks, as we expect you to follow the rules that are outlined here. Follow the rules, and you will have no problems in IBW.

Now, on to two other matters that require attention in accord with the rules. These matters needed attention, as we have had multiple different complaints and situations with both of these.


  • First, the terms “face” and “heel”. These terms, in IBW, are considered OOC or IC-OOC, so we ask you not to use them in IC sections. This will not be dealt with as severely as a “minor rulebreak”, rather your post will be edited as the editor seems fit, and you will receive a verbal warning along with a reminder to follow this rule. However, if this turns into a repeated offense, your punishment will become more severe.

  • The second and final matter that required attention is a phrase that’s become quite popular recently. “I let you win”, or anything similar to it. Now, this phrase has caused some trouble in the past, and we as a Board would like to see to it that it is stopped. So if you use the phrase, one of two things has to have happened. You must either have literally laid down on the mat and let the other wrestler win, or you must have conversed with the other wrestler(s) in the match and the GM and had it agreed upon for a storyline or something else of the sort. If one of these two things has not happened, action will be taken toward your use of the phrase.


Thank you for taking the time to read this update. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, message Michael Stark.

Yeah, I don't like the sound of OOC events influencing our IC wins and losses.

I disagree with it as well. I don´t really break rules, so this doesn´t affect me at all, but I feel it simply won´t fit in IC events. Let´s say your world champion breaks the rule, doesn´t promo (does anyone really have any motivation to write promos when they know they are going to lose?) and gets squashed? World champ, any champ or anyone that has any momentum whatsoever losing that way will not only look silly IC, but it might as well cause that person to simply go inactive. This place isn´t really oozing with activity on regular basis and losing anyone that´s active is not going to help the matter.

The thing is, even a 'minor rulebreak' as we term it , is not really THAT minor. And even though we can implement these measures, we probably will not if the rulebreak was an honest mistake, and was not done with malicious intent.

We will try our best so that these measures does not get implemented, because if from a wrestler's point of view it looks silly, then from a GM's point of view, it is nightmarish. His plans get disrupted and he has to do damage control, to make sense of the events in the storyline.

Regarding the issue of champions, even if we have to implement these measures, we would seriously consider them losing via DQ/ Count out so that they can keep their titles. Like I said before, we would try our hardest to make sense out of it from a IC perspective.

But frankly, if members deliberately try to disrupt IBW's proceedings, bring negativity to this place and makes the whole e-fedding experience here unpleasant, we have to do something, right? We'll not go trigger happy with these methods, and will only use them when we see that there is no way around it.

So basically, you've came up with all these new punishments for rulebreaks, and now you're saying you probably won't punish rulebreaks? If that's the case, why the new punishments? A rulebreak is a rulebreak, intentional or not. That's what I'm always told anyway, and I always get some kind of warning when watching others get away with things. You didn't need new punishments. You needed to actually treat everyone fairly and equally.

You are not reading fully what was said or are misunderstanding. What Stark is saying is that the board isn't going to just be an arse about things. People won't be punished for small, insignificant mistakes such as using the words heel or face on accident. If they do it repeatedly, then yes, they will be punished for it. The reason for the new punishment system is because the old one was abused and did no good. The board had someone admit to the abuse of the system because it was too lax. FYI, the board DOES treat everyone equally and fairly. Just because YOU feel a rule was broken doesn't mean that the board agrees with you. Some people like to just complain and try to get others in trouble due to not liking them. The board can NOT justify punishing someone in that circumstance. If you are concerned, here's some advice, read the rules, make sure you understand them correctly, if you need clarification ask a board member, and then...wait for it...FOLLOW THE RULES! If you follow the rules, there is no issue in the first place! For goodness sake, we aren't dealing with toddlers here.

Don't come at me for breaking the rules. I don't see anyone else here, who was forced to change their gimmick after doing it for three years just because people didn't like some of the things I said.

I'm not coming at you for breaking the rules. I'm not coming at anyone. I was speaking to everyone in general. Yes I quoted you, because I was trying to clear up some misunderstanding on your part and replying to what you commented. If I believed you were breaking rules, you'd be the first to know because the board would come to you about it before taking action. Like I said, if people follow the rules, then they have nothing to worry about. If they make an honest slip up, they don't need to be worried that the board will be arses about it. IBW does have to have rules, all e-feds do, and they have to be enforced but that doesn't mean they have to be enforced in a way that is mean or too strict. The IBW Board is not a board of dictators or oppressors. It is a board of people that care about IBW and give their all to this e-fed. It is a board of people that do their best to make sure people find IBW enjoyable and fun. Nobody is perfect and the IBW Board doesn't expect anyone to be.
