Greetings community,

This is a reminder of forum policy regarding begging. There is absolutely zero exceptions to this rule and it results in an account suspension. At no point is it justifiable to create a thread for begging. This is not a new policy and has been around since the beginning. It's a base rule:

  • Absolutely no begging anyone for games.

The slight change in policy, however, is threads that appear to be begging, but are really intended to be for a puzzle or private giveaway will now be treated the same as a real begging thread. We cannot allow this to continue due to other members seeing "how much that thread worked out for the other guy" at a glance, even if it was all in jest. It breeds behavior we desperately want to avoid.

Thank you for your understanding.

-best regards


Forum Update

Regarding the "forum update", when a thread is closed, it will now get tucked behind the last "open" thread. So, we will have less Closed threads on page one. We hope this helps with the clutter.

If you accidentally close your thread, and can no longer find it, please use the Search bar to find it and submit a ticket to Support to have it reopened.

not really read it more clearly, loko stated that puzzle giveaways hidden in begging threads will still be treated as a begging thread because they can influence bad behavior from those that dont understand that its a puzzle giveaway.

I wasn't serious. That kind of policy would be far too vague, but I'll close threads if they get out of hand.

"That was back when the internet was a lawless land. There was file-sharing, and blogs, and memes. The trolls were everywhere, and there were forums FILLED with flaming and arguments. You should have seen the begging threads. And I lived it all. I was there! You kids wouldn't know about any of that. You don't know how good you have it with your flying cars and your VR gear and your youth serums. Now get offa mah lawn!"

Well, from my experience I can say usually it just means that you're doing most of the possible work and you're responsible for everything... so actually I feel sorry for loko :(.

However, since loko was doing it anyway, new title at least shows it clearly now.

I'm kind of sad that closed threads will no longer be visible. Some people close threads at the end of giveaways or such, and I'm still interested in seeing the outcomes. Some closed threads have worthwhile discussions. Granted at times there were quite a few of them, but in my experience that's the exception rather than the rule.

Me: "Will there be a way to see closed threads without having to search through a month of open ones?"

Loko: "Not yet, no. We will see when the forum gets an update. While I'm concerned about people closing threads before we see them to possibly ban them for policy violations, I think it's worth for the trade off of not having 8-10 closed threads like this morning."

Does this include begging in steam or maybe will in the future?

It is so annoying..every day 2-3 ppl who add you on steam just to beg for games. -_-

I totally understand your pain, my friend. Also bad, are people that add you just to try to scam you, it is worse than a bad salesman at your front door.
But, I don't think loko can moderate things like that done directly on Steam, away from the forums here. Closest to that, is we can report scammers over on Steam trades.
