GalaGiveaways is pretty funny...

Closed
Peroxide

I won Monday Night Combat on GalaGiveaways and the user sent me Super Monday Night Combat which in case you don't know is free to play and a totally different game. I message them and informed them in case it was a mistake, they apologized and offered me a Multiwinia key to give him positive feedback. I declined as I already had the game and wouldn't want to break the rules anyway. Then I receive this e-mail from GalaGiveaways Support threatening to suspend me for apparently insulting the user and lying.

Here is the conversation between the user and myself where I was supposedly insulting him and lying about receiving the incorrect gift.

Here are the e-mails that I received from GalaGiveaway Support in which you can tell they truly are professionals! When I tried to go to GalaGiveaways I realized I was banned and when I inquired as to why, this is the conversation that followed.

I actually do buy bundles from Indie Gala but I don't think they should of rushed with this giveaways thing. They should of thought of a system that would actually work instead of just creating the website and letting it operate with no rules.

Not really. He was still banned for a pointless reason. If someone's customer service is crap, I'm going to tell them that and how it is so.

Is their anything in the GalaGiveaway rules about posting this here? Otherwise that would be a pretty dumb reason to ban you.

If there was a list of rules, then perhaps they could be followed, but there is only a FAQ and a privacy policy; neither of which cover anything that isn't obvious.

Your post gave me a strong indication that you probably didn't follow the rules and I was right!

People these days are taught this ideology that everyone is equally competent and fit to think for themselves. Clearly this is not the case, and certain people (in particular whoever made this decision to ban you and reward the guy with the fake giveaway) have no business playing at the exercise of reason.

My condolences. I hope this loses Indie Gala a great deal of money.

This is beautiful. Don't worry. While SG support is far from perfect, if we fuck up, we tend to admit it quickly and sort shit out properly. We also don't ban because someone said true things about us on another site.

Curious. I wonder if there's a conflict between support's pride to be right on their first conclusion and the shame of being wrong and unable to lose face in the eyes of multiple communities. Either way I find this very odd.

If you ask me, support from SG was more than fair to me.

I'm usualy one of the bad and grumpy guys around (see nickname) and that gets me into trouble. Last time I got suspended for 14 days because I made a topic with complete non-sense. Apparently I've missed the announcement saying that spamming wasn't allowed anymore and I got 14 days of "jail time". Messaged support, admited I was a jerk, asked to lower my sentence but I got a link back with the announcement where it was saying that the minimum punishment was around 28 days or so. So I've braced it. Better 14 than double. :)

I haven't heard anything back from them and don't expect to.

I don't really know of many sites that would care enough to class this as news. I wouldn't mind informing more people, but at the same time I don't want to seem like a little weasel who's only goal in life is to destroy their reputation.

Try Kotaku. They literally post about fucking EVERYTHING, small shit, and shit that isn't even game shit.

The problem with Kotaku is that half the stuff they post is actually false, so I don't want this to be labelled as such. :p
