     If a rule states certain conditions under which points should be
     transfered, and those conditions are met, then those points should
     be transfered without any action by the current owner of the
     points.

Ruling: FALSE

Analysis:

As a blanket statement, this is very difficult to judge true.  There are
rules which transfer a player's points automatically, such as R351,
Automatic Debt Payment.  There are also rules which instead create a debt
for the required amount or which require the Administrator to make the
transfer.  However, with the exception of R351, the the transfer of a
player's points is not allowed without the consent of that player.  The
player of a contest would normally have to points eir entry to the Public
Forum, and this post also counts as a point transfer.  However, the
simmiliarity challenge is an exception to this in which the joining posts
are only sent to the contestmaster.  It is still an entry, however, and
the action of joining a simmilarity challenge still includes a point
transfer.  The Contestmaster should include with eir end-of-contest report
a summary of the point transfers involved.
