The banhammer. :D

Bobofatt is.

well, i think the mods get to know if another account enters within the same ip so that stops that, plus if some of the friends wins and he doesnt get anything, mods will be asking questions to him and the giver, ending up in the suspension of both

IP is not even worth mentioning. Also, mods get to check every single invite-only giveaways?

You gotta activate the game you won, or you can kiss SG goodbye.

Easy, both of those earn an instant perma-ban.

If they're boosting their contribution value it's in order to enter more giveaways. If they win enough giveaways, someone will eventually notice that they have won the same game twice or hadn't activated a previous game. It would also be pretty easy to filter those who have created x number of private/group giveaways or received x amount of value from them in a 24 hour period and manually check them from there.

I find a lot of people who abuse the system also bring attention to themselves and it only takes a few minutes to verify all the games someone has won or given away! I would assume your two private giveaways are test runs to see how it works? That's a fine example of bringing attention to yourself.

A couple of my friends did this- constant private raffles containing high cost game bundles so their give-worth was >$1000. They were banned by the end of the day, and from what I know, no-one actually reported them. So mods must do something right.

you have 2 private giveaways running. are you thinking what i'm thinking?

There's a very obvious way to see such actions and you don't even have to be a mod to see it. Hell, you don't even have to be logged in to the site to see it lol

Nothing can stop you from doing that. Nothing can save you from the banhammer once you do.

adds to watch list

Ahahaha, looking forward to seeing what the second one is.

People do. Get reported. and disappear.

love threads like this, silly op

Why are you asking I wonder. :)

Thanks for Skyrim!

simple, we check accounts games :-p.

Wow, $300 worth of giveaways. Seems like such a great thing, but a shame you had no entries.

Whoops, right, 150 max points value, the games were much more.

Mocap, Moproblems...

Unless the games suddenly appear on the winner's account following the giveaway, there will be no outrunning the banhammer...

AZAMAT!

is that what you tried with: iPi Mocap Studio 2 Standard

It's blatantly obvious when people try to exploit. You know on the front of the page there's a little thing on the bottom that says "Latest Received Gifts". It'll also get strange if the same people keep entering the person's giveaways, + regifting is caught very easily.

This thread is a great big 'WTF!?' - OP comes in with two private giveaways for something NO ONE ever gives away, with a big title called 'EXPLOIT!' (You know, those things that if you are going to use them, you don't really want to draw attention to it) expecting the community to say "Oh yeah, that's fine, we do it all the time..." and then some other guy jumps in shouts 'AZAMAT' and is an obvious system abuser who promptly gets banned...

...Is this real life!?

lol, nice profile....

nice,nice

Cheers for "iPi Mocap Studio 2 Standard", I didn't enter it thou, as don't have the base application...
