I am aware of the guidelines, but the user who posted the "stolen key" thread was banned for something else.
So that's kind of outrageous to me!

Yes! Thank you, I was looking for the reason! But for some other reason, he wasn't banned for stealing a key and deleting the game afterwards.
Perhaps the situation is solved via other means (Theft charges)

Why would he be banned for stealing keys , its not against the rules here lol
stealing =/= scamming
scamming will get you perma banend

That's kind of weird, now that you mention it.
But at least, the guy got exposed as a true problem in the Steamgifts community, leading to many people blacklist-nuking him.
At least that's worse than getting banned.

Often times they get suspended not because of the thread, but because someone looks closely at what they have done because they made the thread :p

In other words, you are exposing yourself to millions of eyes once you post a thread around here.

You can get blacklisted when you post about blacklists. And when you don't. You can get blacklisted all day erryday.

The inevitable faith of everybody around here, but there's nothing we can do, sadly.

Another reason is, I can't get CV for less than 5 entries. :D

First blacklist celebration giveaway? Hope it never happens, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I blacklist people who blacklist me, then I regret it afterwards and remove them. So I'd never have such celebration, and even if it was me being blacklisted, I wouldn't have because I can't tell when was my first blacklist.

Common sense gets you far.
If something happens that you don't understand, reading the rules solves 90% of issues that most people bring up. If you need clarification, most people here are cool and are more than willing to help.
Everything beyond that can be solved with "don't be a dick".
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, yes! That's pretty common sense, but the curious thing is that the "stolen key" was just that, "being a dick", but he got banned for not activating a key of a won game, instead of receiving that punishment AND "being a dick" ban.
It's kind of amusing, so I wanted to ask around here about this, to avoid any future similar situation.

First step: Log-out from SG as long as you have the chance
Second step: live happily every after.

I would say something that is a definite No-No but because it's a definite No-No then I won't say...

You can always post a "NSFW" tag on your text whenever you are going to say something that you deem bad enough.
Some guy posted about... uhhh... a really violent story in the "stolen key" thread, with the "NSFW" tag, and it was fine!

People can post nudes here, just to let you know. But only animated of course.

If you want to know what can get you banned, just check out the bottom of this page. All reasons for being banned are there. Nothing that is not there should get you banned. Blacklisted is a completely different story though.
As far as outrageous threads go, I can't really name any, except for some threads that have been deleted, where people ask for free games etc.

I know a thread some time ago that I found.
A guy that won a Geometry Dash giveaway was given a link to a torrent site to download the game.
chuckles I have to admit, I would be laughing instead of being pissed. It's too unbelievable!

Anything about actually playing games
Shitposts only, please.

I am pretty sure if I post a bunch of dick pics I'll get banned Or Whitelisted ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Generally, the people to post really dickish things tend to be the kind of people who tend to do bannable things. Being a dick isn't bannable, but it will get people to check if you've done something that is bannable. So only be a dick if you're squeaky clean.
And don't worry about the blacklist. People will blacklist for no reason, and usually don't even remember why. Politely asking to be removed from the blacklist will often be successful.

Opening stupid threads isn't a valid suspension reason, so you don't need to worry about that.

After seeing that infamous topic about that stolen key, I'd like to know what things can get you perma/banned/blacklisted for posting it in the discussions here.
My account is a couple of days old, so knowledge is power, right?
It would be also great if you can link me to threads that are outrageous, like the "stolen key" incident, if you can.
I'm planning to start giving away many games in the future, and after my first win here, I'm feeling even more motivated to help others, if my time permits, so I don't wanna cause any mistake in my own path around Steamgifts.
Thank you for reading.
