Terms and Conditions for using CaptainQuirks.com
Rules for Viewing or Using any Data from this Web Site.
1. CaptainQuirks.com does not condone nor validate or invalidate the content of these reports. They are wholly the result of other users of the web site.
2. CaptainQuirks.com assigns an integrity level to some posts. CaptainQuirks.com uses special algorithms to detect disingenuous posts, but the accuracy of these algorithms has not been proven.
3. The average ratings are non-scientific since they are not from a random sample. Those that post, self-filter. Further, ratings for the same individual with identical behavior could vary or the behaviors themselves could vary due to the culture of others that fly with him or her. You are cautioned not to reach any firm conclusions or take any serious acions based on these ratings.
4. If you find a comment about yourself that you consider disingenuous, you are encouraged to contact us and we will review the post and consider it as a candidate for deletion. (There are Flag This Post
buttons (🚩) adjacent to each post.) Further, we believe everyone deserves a fresh start. If you need to temporarily hide something written here, let us know and we'll suspend display of those posts for six months.
5. You are welcome to post a comment yourself as a response to other posts about you. If you do this, your self-ratings will not be considered in average rating calculations.
6. It is not required that you enter a Secret Code
when posting. If you choose to enter a Secret Code
, then you can later use that secret code to search for those specific posts. Addtionally, if your Secret Code
is reasonably strong (at least 8 characters, and not password
then you will be able to edit your posts at a later date. Otherwise, you will need to contact us to edit the post for you (via the Flag This Post
buttons (🚩) adjacent to each post). Other Secret Codes that are too weak to allow edit privileges are versions of passw0rd, p@ssword, pa55word, etc. or passwordx, consecutive digits, or repeated digits.

| Special Promotion Rules |
|
1. To qualify for the promotion, you must submit genuine posts at least five (5) times on five (5) different crewmembers before the end of the promotion. 2. The promotion will continue to run until the marketing budget for the promotion is exhausted. We will provide thirty (30) days advance notice before ending the promotion so that you are not caught by surprise. 3. There is no limit to the number of claims you make. You may continue to post and submit additional claims for each additional five (5) genuine posts. 4. Once you qualify for the promotion and submit a claim, we will transfer $10.00 of Bitcoin to your email address from a Coinbase account. If you have a Coinbase account, the crytocurrency will be available in your account. Otherwise, they will ask you to set up an account, after which you may leave the cryptocurrency in the account, or transfer it to another account, trade it, or cash it out. 5. In order to claim your prize, you must search this web site for each of your five (5) posts, and click on the Flag This Postsymbol (🚩) beside each post (one at a time) and submit an inquiry (Five (5) inquiries total, one (1) for each of the five (5) posts). Include something common in the comments so that we can tie the five inquiries together (i.e. Maverick 1 of 5or similar). We will review your inquiries to approve your claim. (You may not immediately see each post since it must go through a review process prior to being made public. You may choose to use the secret codefeature of the web site in order to assist in your search for your posts.) 6. CaptainQuirks.com reserves the right to evaluate your posts to determine that they are genuine. The judgement of CaptainQuirks.com constitutes a final decision. We are not interested in what the posting says, but only that the comments are genuine and that they concern a real crewmember. We reserve the right to research where necessary to validate your claim. (The review process for approving claims is more rigorous that the process for approving a post for publishing to the public. Approval for publishing to the public cannot automatically be construed as approved for claim payment.) 7. CaptainQuirks.com recommends (but does not require) that you include contact information when submitting a claim. However, we send the cryptocurrency from Coinbase to an email address, so we request that you provide an email address. This will allow us to provide feedback to you in case your claim is not approved, or in case we have difficulty transmitting the cryptocurrency. If you don't wish to provide an email address, then please submit a wallet address instead. (This isn't the preferred method.) If you submit a claim without providing contact information, and you subsequently do not receive the cryptocurrency, please resubmit the claim with contact information so that we may tell you why the transfer didn't go through. 8. Please provide 10 days for CaptainQuirks.com to process your claim. |
