I know that I wasnt so clever, but he had I good reputation in steam trades.

I wanted to trade L4D2 to Arma 2 key. So I traded him the gift and got wrong key from him. Of course he blocked me.

Just wanted to tell, that don't be so stupid as me. Don't trust him.

Please don't call out users on Steamgifts.com

Well, he is from the site. But even if he wasn't, why "especially if they aren't from the site"? The rule says don't call out (steamgifts) users and to report them to (steamgifts) support. Kinda useless to tell support about the user if he doesn't have an account here.

I'm calling out a member on the Diablo 3 official forums. Is that better? :P

I'm trying to let him know that the thread belongs on another site. Not Steamgifts.

If all threads on steamgifts had to only be about steamgifts, the threads would only be "I didnt Win yet", "Whats your win rate?", "When will i get my game?", "Join my private group so i can leech giveaways".

You realize that the rule is to prevent the calling out of any Steam member on the forums right? The forums is NOT the place to bash, insult, or slander the reputation of any member, or to stage personal attacks, hence why its under the "Etiquette" heading. We don't want to hear it, it doesn't relate to SteamGifts, and as this tread demonstrated, an innocent person was called out and falsely accused. The rule was instituted to keep the forums a civil place for discussion.

You two are new here, so I can understand your confusion.

No where did I say he should report anything to support, I merely quoted the entire rule. Would you prefer I crop it for you?

Oh, I assumed that since your quoting rules I should follow them and it clearly says: "Please do not call out users in the forum or chat. Submit a ticket in the Support Forum." So according to that I should report people I see on the Steam forums to SteamGifts support.

BTW the word "entire" means full, not part of it... So you only quoted a part of the rule. Just a little advice from a "noob" SG user.

Anyway this is a pointless discussion, so i'll stop.

You can see there is a period there cant you? Separation of ideas is rather important. Again the reason for the rule is to keep the forums civil, and not filled with baseless accusations and personal grudges.

Also, I quoted the entire rule. Not sure why you think that I quoted only part of it, but whatever.

so you assume that a period separates the ideas in the two sentences? following your logic, i can write something like: i love you. fuck yourself. just fine, because there is a period out there. clearly you're not a veteran of the semantic rules.

Ever read any court decisions? Laws? Grammar matters. Consider the difference in the two sentences.

One is a complete thought, one is two separate thoughts. In your example you provide two contradictory thoughts which works just fine grammatically, but the intent of them makes the two contradictory. Intent matters, and if you don't understand the difference in the intent of a comma vs a period, it will be difficult for you to argue semantics.
Also, semantic rules say you should capitalize the first letter of a sentence, so look to your own.

you can express one complete thought in two sentences separated with comma as well as period, there is no rule telling me that i have to completely express my thought within one sentence before ending it with a period mark. also worth noticing would be a fact that i do not capitalize anything in my posts, so i beg to differ about that argument you made - the fact i don't doesn't mean i don't know where to apply such simple rules.

Wont let me reply to your last post. Are you really arguing that intent in sentence construction doesn't matter? Why argue against the intent of the author? If CG wanted it as a single idea, he would of written it as a compound sentence. He didn't. They remain independent. Are you really saying that, "Hey lets eat Grandma!", "Hey lets eat, Grandma!" and, "Hey lets eat! Grandma!", are really all the same idea? That's why we bother with punctuation, because again, intent in sentence structure matters. CG separated the two ideas, "Please do not call out users in the forum or chat" and "Submit a ticket in the Support Forum." to give two different directives. No calling out users, and that Support is where can try to hash out any problem you have with a person. Obviously if the mods cant do anything there is no reason to, but still there remains that you cannot call out someone else on the forums. In fact the person, not being on SG, probably wont see the thread, and so will not have any chance to defend themselves. We have an etiquette for the forums, and that means no baseless accusations, or outing of problems with other people. There is a place for that, SteamRep is one, but CG doesn't want that here. Stop defending a guy who wants to post unproven allegations about someone not even related to this community.

"...the fact i don't doesn't mean i don't know where to apply such simple rules."

No, it means you communicate poorly.

Here we go again.

WHEN did I say "validity" was against the site rules? PLEASE show me where.... It's a fucking courtesy douchebag. Don't you dare try to argue against that. ONCE AGAIN you've got it in the wrong context which can only lead me to believe that you either have poor English skills or are just not old enough to have a civil conversation.

If you understood me properly maybe you wouldn't try to constantly make these ridiculous assumptions. Arguing for the sake of arguing is pathetic.

Has anyone considered that the reason that we shouldn't call out users is to prevent THIS EXACT SITUATION from happening? Now there's a completely innocent user whose reputation has been tarnished because a scammer impersonated him and someone called him out here without all the info. If someone just reads through the topic titles, they'll think this innocent user is a scammer thanks to this person wrongfully calling him out.
