If someone makes a fake giveaway and I call it "Fake" in the comment section, I get suspended.

Will I get suspended for saying a regifted game is "regifted" in the comment section?

And if not, why not?

Just curious. Not looking for a fight or a change of rules.

Because checking for regifts is easy to prove. Calls of 'Fake' aren't always right. Private inventories and key sites alone prevent that.

how to check if its regifting?

Easy. You check if they won a copy of the game, and then check if they redeemed it on their steam profile. If they haven't redeemed it, they're likely taking the gift they got and just shipping it off again

Won the game, but not activated it, and made a giveaway for the same game - it'seasy to notice.

But one can still call out a regift wrongly, therefore it should be subject to the same treatment.

Anything potentially breaking any rules = let support decide, no matter how easy it is to prove. That's how I roll anyway.

It's not a matter of demonstrable or not.

Strictly said the winners of AR-K still have almost a week to activate their gift. Until then yelling "REGIFT!" is based on gut feelings and is not that very different from calling out in general.
Posting a reminder about the rules may not hurt, though.

I guess no matter if its true..its calling out. But best way is to report regifters to support..but they are busy, dont expect an answer until new year xD

If you truly feel like it is breaking the rules either way then report them and see what support decides. It is really up to them anyways.

Someone called out a giveaway I recently won for being fake, didn't make it fake though.

Mods explained me their definition of their concept of calling outÂŪ as shouting publicly that an individual broke the rules. So doing for fake or regift is the same basing on their explanation. Anyways that part of rules NEEDS a much better definition.
There's a problem on the judges part, because sometimes is hard to define if the user is calling out or just reminding the rules, as where you asked initially.

What about calling out for regifting a fake giveaway?

And for what reason do you want to risk it? There's no need to cause trouble.
