Old steamgifts user doesn't understand how the site works

I really don't understand the calling out rule in cases like this.

I mean, the OP is just pointing something out. He isn't accusing anyone of anything, just sharing some valid information about something he found on this website.

I don't think so, I understand why moderators don't want people posting "FAKEEEEE!!!" on active giveaways (that could be legit).
In this case those GAs were killed 4 days ago so I see no harm in improving our community :)

That's the point, I don't think this violates any rule but at the same time it isn't right. What's the purpose of creating 2 GAs and then deleting them a few hours before the dead line? He took a month to realise that he doesn't know how this site work? Really?

Kids got on the computer and wanted a new game and made a GA thinking they would get the gam lol

may he traded for the gifts an they have been revoked....many things outside the " he is evil" are possible :-)

there may be various reasons for deleting GAs, I deleted quirte a few myself in my history. If they were private/puzzle GAs, maybe it got leaked? or if forum GA, maybe p[osted publicly somewhere else? maybe he realized that games are region locked? Lastly maybe he doesn't have them anymore? (for example I had to delete a GA myself, because while sending a gift for GA from my alt to my main account I accidentally clicked add to library instead of add to inventory and bam - the gift was gone ;p)

Sadly I don't remember the description of these specific GAs, but at the very least it's possible.

Agree, case solved.

That's the original thread! Thanks for posting it here. He clearly knew what he was doing.

Weird. At this point I'm only curious, what happened behind the scenes. Maybe aliens kidnapped a parent, and blackmailed him to delete the giveaways. We'll never get to know! :)

Use the appropriate avenues for support. If you have an issue with another user, submit a ticket with a user report, rather than calling them out within the community or on the forum.

They want you to report infringements to them only and let them deal with it.

they want you to stick to reporting, because it's support job to punish rulebreakers, not community's job. If you want to play witch hunt - go to 4chan instead.

Not to mention the fact than more often than not innocent people are being called out - usually regarding scams. Newbie gets scammed by impersonator, doesn't realize it was an impersonator, because he's newbie, goes to forums and publicly names innocent trader as scammer.

Agreed ;)

Khalaq's thread was asking for more involvement in checking your winners and reporting them if needed. It wasn't asking us to do their job and try to apply some sort of community justice. You can talk about what's happening, as long as you don't mention names.

Just look at the results of your poll. You probably got this guy on a lot of blacklists when there might just be a valid reason as to why they deleted the giveaways. They didn't even get a chance to explain themselves. Do you still think it's right to put their name in this thread ?

You say that they are taking advantage of a loophole, but keep in mind that you lose giveaways slots when deleting them. Since this user deleted 2 giveaways with 5 copies, they lost 10 slots and they'll have to do 30 legit giveaways to get these back. You can't just keep deleting all your giveaways, you'll end up not being able to create any giveaway at all.
