I had created a post on the French forum concerning the rules of our Fashion Show.  I wanted to have a better understanding of the rules that everyone should be following.  That thread can be found here:

Here is where Sarah had answered the questions that I had asked:

Good evening.

I will try to answer you as best I can, based on what I know.

Note: Once you win the “Fashion Show,” you cannot register for other “Fashion Shows” for 6 months. However, you can still participate in the votes to elect the new "Miss OMD.

(from the FS Rules on the US Server)

On the American server, this theme is never mentioned on our forum, unlike what happens here (French Forum). On the American server, some dolls haven't been disqualified even though they clearly didn't follow the theme.

1. Is this rule still in effect? ​​On the American server, some players participate in the fashion show quite quickly even though they have already won first place in two or three previous shows.

No, the winners of the fashion shows are no longer restricted for 6 months but for 30 days. And since there's a show every two weeks, they're only restricted for two shows.

On the American server, this theme is never mentioned on our forum, unlike what happens here. On the American server, some dolls weren't disqualified even though they clearly didn't follow the theme.

Even if the theme isn't posted on the US forum, it's translated and written on the parade page in the game. So yes, the other servers must also respect the themes.

There was no moderation on the other servers for a long time; I took over the role at the beginning of the year, but sometimes players aren't removed from certain parades because there aren't many participants (the parade doesn't like it when there are fewer than 3 participants...) or because I haven't had the time or I forget.

I'll try to be more careful in the future to moderate your parades better for off-topic content.

Increased Prizes for the Fashion Show:

The fashion show prizes have been slightly improved:

1st: $100, the sash and crown;
2nd: $60;
3rd: $40.

2. Does this increase only apply to the French version of the fashion show, or has it been implemented on all servers?

Normally, parades offer the same rewards for all players on all servers. However, there are display issues with the announcements that can be misleading.

Even on the French forum, for example, the old rewards are displayed in the forum announcement, while the rewards are correct in the blog announcement. This detail in the announcements simply hasn't been changed yet.

I can try to find the text and see if it's fixable using my text key tool, but that would require research that could take hours, which I don't necessarily have the time for.

3. Only three entries per person are allowed to participate in a fashion show. If a player registers more than three accounts, should they be reported or simply ignored? (Without a vote for them.)

If a player registers more than three accounts, the game will reject them. This is why the bug in the previous parade blocked so many players, as the provider made a mistake that blocked them due to "too many registered accounts."

If a player manages to register more than three accounts despite the security measures, they must report it to me directly via private message, as it is forbidden to report a player on the forum. I can then investigate and remove the abusing player.

Personally, I don't see the usernames of all registered users on your servers; it's a visual moderation system. However, if you send me the usernames of cheaters, I can then check and see if there are any abuses related to the number of registered users.

And even now, our server records entries of people/winners for the fashion show almost every time there is a show.

The problem is that your last parades didn't stop correctly, so since the end of March, the winners haven't been locked on your servers.

But since we'll be manually processing the results and awarding credits, we'll be careful to ensure that a player who's already won doesn't win twice. I haven't been able to credit the winnings yet, so I'll check that as well.

And we'll be sure that in future parades, the players in question are either removed from the parades or don't receive any prizes.
