: Everyone must follow the rules equally, or their hits will get deleted and/or accounts disabled.

I can think of multiple scenarios where a Georger that lives "Paycheck to paycheck" could get into trouble when the unexpected happens and all they have is E&M'd cash on hand which then directly (or indirectly) gets into the bank. (Car breaks down; all they have in reserve is marked Andy's, pay the Garage with them and those bills wind up at the bank that night in the garage's deposit, etc.etc.)

If while buying something at a merchant for a few Georges he sees you have a bunch and asks if he can buy some is that OK? On a regular basis? I know if *he* starts hitting them the answer is obvious but if it's the store beside you and like most small businesses you swap cash around for whoever's in need.. ??

What constitutes "a large number" when discussing a bank? Other than the initial deposit (See Question 1) I don't think I've ever had more than a few marked bills go in on any given day but there's bound to be people getting Ones with several E&M'ed Twenties from the bank or other source..

If a member has a small number of possibly questionably hits (1% or less) is it better to ask for a review with details or let sleeping dogs lie? I've got two hits way back (2001?) that until recently I couldn't prove came from a co-worker I'd given a couple to I thought would like the site. Did I *ask* him to hit the bills? Who knows at this point.. I certainly don't remember now. :-( Either way I'd give those two hits up rather than be frozen or banned.

Hey.. if ya want to be competitive or whatever just set "realistic" goals and go for it. I'm in NC and there's no way I can surpass the top "Georgers" from NC but I can try to beat the top one from my area or go for top 25, 10, whatever seems realistic to me.

Just have fun with it!! :-)
