Last update
Time to pass onto something else... One more time, thanks to everyone ! It has been a great pleasure to update this thread for 3 years, with the almost 1500 GAs you people offered, and to see so often cool bumps, nice gifs, and kind words. See you soon somewhere on SG !

<3

Update August 2019
This thread is 3 years old. I guess it is time for it to shut down :-)
The global welcome to it was unexpected. In fact I was just willing to make a bunch of GAs and wrote the thing on the fly... and boom, crazy people started giving away games, so much that we are still there 3 years later. I'm very grateful to the community.In particular, I want to thank everyone who posted a GA or bumped the thread (even with cool pictures !). SG is really one of the best places on the internet...
Of course, the idea of peace still needs support, but SG discussions probably also need new events and opportunities to give games away. Anyway, I added some GAs ending last day of this month. I'll stop updating the thread when these GA will be over.
Love you all !

Everybody will agree, human world is having a big crisis. As a species, we went from cave age to nuclear knowledge and space exploration, but when it comes to live together peacefully, we didn't grow that much. World is still full of people who want to see other people dead for various reasons, and most of the time without having met or spoken once with their object of hate. Some nations, most of the time driven by the wills of a few hundred people, are fighting against others because they think of their borders as more valuable than whole mankind. Everywhere or so, the world is full of people who think they own the Truth, with a big T, and that they are entitled to force others on their beliefs.
Why am I talking of such obvious things ? Because SG is about gifting and sharing love of gaming with random strangers from everywhere on Earth. It's a successful attempt to create relations between people who probably wouldn't have met another way. So, whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever religion (or none) you believe in, if you like to think of yourself as a citizen of Earth, if you feel that differences should be dealt with by tolerance, talking and mutual understanding, if you seek for peace between people... have a few giveaways :)

If someone wants to contribute a GA, please reply to the first post below and I'll add it.

Free Game Bumpâ„¢

Game Free Key
TAIKU MANSION Go here
  • Please don't take the key if you already own the game or are not interested in it.
  • If you took the key, please (1) activate it on your account, and (2) reply to let me know so that I can remove the link. If I see that the key was taken and there's no reply from the taker, I'll just include the complete link and their email address will be visible. Let's not go there, shall we? :-)

That's why I gave a link to the store page and wrote "Please don't take the key if you already own the game or are not interested in it"...

Hello,

Calling out is against the rules, please remove the following paragraph:

If I see that the key was taken and there's no reply from the taker, I'll just include the complete link and their email address will be visible.

Calling out threats are a no-no, also.

Remove the comment with the names also, please.

You've been warned severals times about this kind of behavior, if you have any issues with a user, contact support.

Have a good day

I removed the names. Adding you on Steam because I don't think I was ever warned about this.

I'm unable to get hold of you on Steam, so here's what I'll do.

I'll replace the part you quoted with: "Note that the taker's email address is visible to anyone who accesses the link. As soon as the taker confirm that they got the key I'll remove the link". I also won't list usernames. No way to blame me for calling out, because I won't, at any stage, list the SG usernames.

Please don't disclose personal information, that includes what you suggested

The calling out rule is intended to protect against mass blacklisting by forum participants due to (potentially) false accusations. Since it's impossible to tell who the user is based on an email address, this rule should not apply. In addition, the email is only visible due to direct action by the taker. Are you saying that it's against the rules to post indiegala.com gift links as forum drops unless the poster monitors each link and deletes it as soon as it's used?

That is all completely irrelevant since you're doing it with the main purpose of disclosure.
I am asking you to not do it. You can post keys wherever you like, with the sole intention of doing it, but now you're biasing users to click on it just to the see redeemer's email, which you called out.

Please remove that indiegala link.

The main purpose of what I'm doing with these drops is bumping good threads. The secondary purpose is giving. Disclosure of email is not a purpose in itself. Regardless of how you interpret my intentions, are IG gift links allowed as forum drops? Does the poster have any obligation to delete them once used?

How can I call a user out out if their username is not visible? It's an email address that they entered, knowing full well that it'll remain visible unless they let me know (which they chose not to).

I removed the link because you asked, but I don't see anything in the site rules that requires me to.

Seems I'm not going to get an answer for these two questions:

  • Are IG gift links allowed as forum drops?
  • Does the poster have any obligation to delete them once used?

Time to just check it in practice...

15 hours have gone by, I'm not 24/7 here and when I am, doesn't mean I have to reply at that exact time.

Linear answers:

Are IG gift links allowed as forum drops?

Yes.

Does the poster have any obligation to delete them once used?

No.

Specific answers:

Should I keep a IG gift link up while doing borderline calling out regarding the information that everyone can access to when clicking it?

You shouldn't, that's why I asked to delete.

Rules aren't as linear as they are described. For every situation, there is a fitting specific answer, which is given permission to whoever handles it. It's your choice, personally, I rather not step on the edge.

I'm friendly warning you about this, I won't issue a suspension but someone else might.

Thanks for replying. I'll make sure to rephrase things in a way that keeps me sufficiently far from the edge (or at least so I hope).

Thank you.

Don't perceive warnings as threats. They are more friendly advice than they look (:
