I made a private puzzle & giveaway train for people on my friendslist and someone leaked the puzzle, its answers and the giveaways themselves.

I know who leaked it and at least one of the person who I didn't invite.

I noticed when I went to see who had entered for the Bad Rats giveaway and saw someone who shouldn't have been there. Someone not on my friendslist and also that we only had one friend in common.

Later someone sent me a message confirming my suspicions about the leak and who had done it.
That person sent me a copy paste of the conversation he saw.

Original:

Translated badly by Google:
R: vtoryo portal passed. finally.
S: the way
S: is there a portal uporotyh cho?
P () belépett a csevegésbe.
S: I'm 1 and 2 of the long passed
P (): http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/YauBr/puppy-incoming/search?page=2
R: 16 hours polovinyo coop single +
S: they say right now there is something
S: all sorts of fashion
P (): Here's a puzzle: linktomypuzzleremoved
S: I remind newcomers
S: linkremoved007-legends

S: linkremoved007-legends
P (): The password is "mypassword:("
S who does not take - that fag
P (): Do not plead.
P (): I am a fag.
T: Why beg a batted
T: REPLY
S: stitch
S: you see me?
S2: linkremoved007-legends
S2:)
m_: T: Why beg a batted
How does it hurt you?
T: Yes, he did not hurt me
T: He's just too fixated on his person
m: Well?

What do I do? I'm probably being blind but I had a look in the FAQ and I'm still not sure what if anything.
I don't want these guys to win. :/
I've blacklisted them both.

Anways, here's the puzzle for the puzzler types:

Leaking private links and puzzles answers is a punishable offense here, so, open a ticked and report them with all the evidence you have.

EDIT: From the Guidelines:

Respect the privacy of invite only giveaways, and if you're invited to a private giveaway, do not share the link with other users unless given permission by the giveaway creator.
If you're taking part in a puzzle, do not leak or hint towards any information that should remain private, such as the game being given away, or the URL of the giveaway.

If you go to the roles section, you'll see there are 2 related suspensions:

  • Revealing Puzzle Information or Game
  • Revealing Puzzle URL
