**If you find a spot and want to use it for a party and want the credit, keep it to yourself.

**As a person who 'finds' a potential spot, it's your duty to thoroughly research the location before you bring it to the public (i.e. throw a party), including logistics, sound testing, capacity, and fire safety.

**Once you use a spot, it's free game to anyone else who wants to use it. This includes the random party goer who may show up the following weekend to get fucked up and make a mess of the place, or tag it. (both I've seen happen)

**When someone wants to use the location you found, it's your duty to honestly report all the information you know about the location to ensure the success of the event.

**Communication, respect, and honesty are mandatory. You cannot control who uses a spot and how. Asking is a mere formality. Threats get nowhere. It helps to work around schedules and be forward with planning.

**It's our duty as a community to steward the spots we use, including ensuring that a location does not get overused. Policies such as not using a spot two weekends in a row, ensuring no trash is left, etc. Should be adhered to and agreed upon.

Yeah, what Ripley said in the last paragraph is definitely true.
If people are going to use a location it is their responsibility to clean up after everyone else... doesn't matter if they didn't make it, the trash wouldn't have been there without the party.
I think its very important for people to communicate about which crews are good at cleaning up and keeping locations discreet. The amount of underground venues will just keep getting caught if we don't respect them.

Besides, who doesn't like partying in an actual underground spot rather than a stupid club?

imo, no spot should be used more than once every 3-4 weeks. after a party is thrown, there need to be two weekends BETWEEN the first and second event. ie. if a spot is used on nov 1st, it should not be used again until AT LEAST the 21st, IMO a full month is a needed.

also, if someone finds a spot, and another person wants to use it, i agree it is mainly a formality that the second person ask to use the spot, BUT if the original person has plans for said location, the second person should respect that they need to wait their turn, and discuss with the first person when they will be using it so that conflicts of date stomping and location security are covered.

another thing to add, is that if a certain person/crew fucks up a location by not keeping it discreet, picking up after the event, etc.... its fair game for others to give the thumbs down on future events. a very important part of the renegade scene is picking up all the trash after your event (including cig butts) and making sure you are the last person to leave.
