Goodbye. You won't be missed. (AKA permanent suspension)


About the suspension/ban thing:

"Users are no longer banned, only suspended with the new system. However, keep in mind suspensions can be anywhere from one day to life. In this situation they're permanent." -cg


Thank you, cg.

You are not the first to mention this on the forum, but probably the first to create a thread solely for the purpose to point this out.

I wonder why you took the time to "hide" the users in the screenshots, when everyone can look them up on the front page.

Not much we can do but report them, until there are more mods.

I expected that others knew about it.

I took the time to hide their names for the sake of the "no calling out" rule, but I'm fully aware that it takes just a dash of common sense to figure it out.

The only reason why I made this thread is because the report button is the only way to make our voices heard... but one voice is not enough. If cg won't act immediately these assholes might end up stealing a good stash of honest contributer giveaways and I can't stand it.

But there are 14 members in that group. 11 of those members aren't on that top contributer list, so they might still have a chance to bail out of the private group and not get caught.

Good chance that the other 11 are proxy/duplicate accounts, I'd say.

Comment has been collapsed.

Actually, on further inspection, the other accounts wouldn't be able to join SteamGifts (since they aren't worth $100).

I also doubt that they're proxy accounts since:

1) that would require a level of deception they lack.

2) the proxy accounts would have similar registration dates. (these, however, span from 2004-2012)

While I definitely agree in theory, you CAN give away Minecraft at least (non-Steam game). So there would have to be an exception for at least that game.

It's just... so obvious. How did they expect to get away with this?

12 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

They probably didn't even think about it; the same way they didn't think that a group giveaway could be seen in their profiles.

What worries me, however, is that who knows how many other discrete scammers did something similar... perhaps by making private giveaways once a week.

Which is why I think we should be able to see but not able to click on private giveaways made by users once their giveaway is over. Atleast that would help me discern legitimate users from those that choose to regift or make fake private giveaways to boost their contributor value.

I could only find one member who joined the giveaways you were talking about.

There's nothing really incriminating about it, though. Besides, some of its members seem legit.
