...by a lot.


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.

I noticed that group too, but they'll keep winning gifts and boosting contributor value until there's actual mods ;(

Is there any sort of a timeframe on the whole moderators thing?

I've only been here for about a month now, but even in that month things seem to have gone downhill quite a bit. It's very discouraging to see that acts of abuse and exploitation are so flagrant and obvious everywhere, yet the boldness stems from the fact that people know nothing will be done about it.

Granted, money's so tight for me right now that I can't do more than occasionally gift the random odd forgotten treasure from my dusty inventory, but I admit that even improved fortunes would still find me hesitant to throw any real money at this site right now. Too much of a chance for some jackass to walk off with a nice game that should have gone to some decent person.

Lots of this going around lately. What's worse it works. Guy who's been on top contributors list few weeks back, thanks to 4 private giveaways amounting to over $1k, already won few giveaways with high contribution limit. He and his buddies were generously gifting 2K Collections.

If this doesn't warrant a ban, I'm not sure what does

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.

Thank you very much, cg! But I have another user from that group that helped these idiots. He entered in a lot of these fake giveaways, and have won many of them. Of course he haven't redeemed these games. How can I tell you? Make a support ticket and include all this info?

You didn't give out names so no problem. I'm talking about all the others that have crossed the line way too visibly. Do I have to make them public as well?

I don't know if it would be the best thing to do but I'd do it if I were you, that's for sure. [edited because it sounded strange]

From the way I see it you'd be raising awareness. In one way or another the abusers need to be stopped.

I hope that people stop doing stupid things like that. Yeah i get it, they want to enter the high contributor giveaways, becouse there is a lot higher chance of winning. I want to enter them too, but i don't exploid the group and private giveaways becouse of that! Enter fairly in giveaways and giveaway when and if you can, don't be an asshole and ruin the chance for everyone else!

Also thank you CG for all of your hard work, we really appreciate it!

There is one other name too that you can see from those giveaways who isn't suspended yet.

Are you talking about the demoman avatar? Yeah, he joined the fake giveaways but didn't create any fake giveaways himself.

He's an accomplice.

How did you get cg to look at your support ticket so fast? Also, I think a permanent ban shows up as banned not suspended. Maybe a mod can shed some light on it.

By making a public thread apparently.

Read a couple of lines up. Or down, depending on addon usage.

I believe that my ticket alone didn't catch cg's attention, but rather the tickets sent by all of us in this thread has.

Also, about that ban/suspend dilemma, I've edited the OP quoting cg directly. (He posted in this thread, just check a few posts above^)
