Request New Winner > Regifted or Did Not Activate Previous Wins This Month (change last word)

It's more a debate than a suggestion.

Take it as a loss and blacklist for the next time?

Just a curios question. If you win from someone. And the creator thinks you don´t deserve to win cause "reasons"....would you accept a reroll yourself?

In my humble opinion, you're not the internet police -- nor SG support -- so stop being a SJW and give the winner his game. Move on. End of thread

Should people who have broken the law and served a prison sentence still be denied re-entry into society?

So if someone goes to jail for 2 years for whatever reason, in your eyes after he gets out again he is not allowed to live a normal life but always must be punished for the mistake he made and actually did "pay for" already?

If you got a fine for false parking, should you be not allowed to ever park anywhere else again even after you paid the fine?

I can see that you feel a week or few days ban on SG isn't enough of a punishment for a first time offender, but that's just how it is.
If he is a repeated offender, he will eventually be banned on SG.

Of course everybody makes mistakes and he shouldn't be punished for past things he probably didn't know..but his behavior is absolutely asshole-like, he could accept the reroll for the good will.

I understand the sentiment but sometimes you just have to just move on :/. Gift, blacklist and carry on.

If serving a sentence means you are carrying a stigma for all life regardless of serving the punishment, no wonder the prisons are full of people who eventually end up at the wrong side of the law again, if one can be so mental about some damn few-dollar video game.

he broke rules, and got punished for it already. Hopefully he learned his lesson. Now, if he does it again i suspect his next punishment would be much harsher or permanent even, and i dont really think punishing him/her even more, after his initial punishment, would make things any better.

Theres a reason most people dont get out of jail as better person. they are well aware they are going to face consequences long past their jail time, regardless of their behavior. Not to mention jails arent exactly known as a place where one should go to 'become a better person' so to speak. thats irrelevant to this case though :P

If person in question, after serving his ban time, has decided to play by the rules but still gets punished for his past crimes, its going to do much more harm than good, imo.

just my personal opinion of course, as i cant really tell you what to do with your (any of you) blacklist , so it was just my 2 cents :)

Just get over it and give him the game or take responsibility of breaking rules and not giving winner the game. In future you might want to consider ways where you check the users before making giveaways, just to be sure this doesn't happen again...............

Oh man, that totally sucks...

Breaking stigmas is something very hard to do in Real Life©, on the internet...even harder.

Sure, people should be given a second chance. That's not what I am seeing here. I'm seeing someone being given a 7th chance. This is why there needs to be a rule about frequent violations. Someone who has broken the rules that many times should be punished as a habitual offender.

Before you can say something like, well it's only two games, let me ask you this: If you were searched by a police officer and had let's say some Oxycotin and Vicodin on you. Now, you don't have a prescription for these pills and you have them in different bottles in your backpack. Do you just get charged with 2 counts of a narcotics violation? Nope, not here, you get multiple charges for different bottles. On top of that, you'd get trafficking and distribution tacked on as well usually. I don't see why there's such a passive take towards the multiple offenders here.

You won the same thing 4 times, that's 4 different rule violations. Another game 2 times, that's 2 more violations. Six rule violations in total, how many should it take before you're cut off?

If he hasn't broken the rules since his suspension, then he's learned from his mistakes and I don't see a problem in giving him his win.
If he has, he'd deserve a second suspension.and the reroll should've been granted.
As others have said, no need for lifetime punishment

Problem is, regular users don't get to see when last suspension ended, so we do need to rely on the support folks to check that.

another thing, rules are there for a reason, and they should be same for everyone. You cant just accept rules you like, and ask for ones you dont like to be adjusted to your likings.

There are rules about regifting/not redeeming/youname it game, but there are also rules about rerolling and stuff that you might not like all that much, but as odd as it sounds, people who were banned also need some kind of protection or else, they might as well leave this site upon their first infraction. Yeah i know... they were bad in the past, so we shall punish them now. and in the future too.

thats kind of mentality i dont agree with (nor i have to :P). Do i think GA winner in question should have behaved differently? Yeah i do, and imo he should have let you reroll because its your giveaway afterall, but thats not my point here. Unlike some people i dont believe in punishment just for the sake of it nor i think its going to make people behave better.

this case is probably extreme one and i agree how someone with that many infractions should definitely accept a reroll (with no questions asked) but if people are going to do that every time he wins a game, he might as well not be here at all.

Send the game, blacklist if you want and move on. Or take the dates into consideration. I had a winner with 8 copies of DLC won on the same day, region locked - he could have won only two, probably was a noob to the site and didn't know about it. I think it's more about if someone's repeatedly breaking the rules (months apart) or get punished in the past, then no faults in the recent times.

get used to it

Similar situation to my last Not Received. I took the hit. I wasn't happy about it, but I'm also not so married to my ratio that I am willing to give the offender the game. Yes, I wish this rule were modified. Bullshit that creators are this penalized when trying to give games away.

Kek, this thread has so many tryhard baits it's fun to read.

Clearly the guy just wants to give a game to someone that wasn't a douche before and i see nothing wrong with that. Imo the whole reroll system sucks so bad that people either have to do whitelist/group giveaways or deal with the fact they can't do much to change that the game ended up in subjectively or objectively shitty hands.

The way I do it is that if I see a winner with an unactivated win or more than one win of the same game, I send a reroll request asking about it as long as it isn't a very old one (usually within 6 months). If they have not yet been suspended for the infraction then they usually are and I get the reroll, if they already have been then I say "Okay, they served their time, hopefully they don't do it again." and I send the game.

It's not the perfect system, but it usually works for me.

I think the logic is if someone got punished for something they've done their restitution, which I don't think is quite fair but I do agree with enough to send gifts if someone has been banned. The issue with asking for giveaway deletion is that the winner has to agree, which can be problematic.

so is this how the "system" works? get game, dont activate, get reported and be suspended for 1 week, 1 week is up, come back and win another game, dont activate, get reported, get suspended for 1 week, return, repeat

is that how it is? youd think after 3 strikes boom you get banned, if you get unlimited lives no wonder hes a repeat offender, personally i would not send the game, take the week suspension myself and screw him

I have had this exact situation come up a few times.

I give them the game, then blacklist them. According to the site's rules, they were perfectly fine to win the giveaway. Wanting it to go to someone else is my personal preference, and I understand that it's not support's job to cater to my personal preference. But at the same time, the site allows blacklisting for any reason, or even for no reason at all, so I use it as a site-sanctioned way to enforce my preference in the future.

As for the whole rehabilitation/prison argument - I feel like people who take the time to read the rules before they get in trouble should be rewarded. I completely understand that most people who get suspended never have another problem, but I'd like to skew things a bit in favor of the people who don't get in trouble in the first place. And besides, I still give them the game, so it's only some possible future chance at winning a second game from me that I'm taking away. Hardly comparable to what any ex-con faces.
