Yes! I am complaining again!

Can people stop posting threads saying "Oh no! I have entered 500 give aways and I Havant won anything!" The give-aways are based on chance, Its not like its a conspiracy and only a select few are winning all the games and laughing at us putting up games! What do you accomplish by moaning? Do you think you will be given games because you are on a MASSIVE loss streak! Do you think CG and Loko will ride in on a unicorn with gifts for you? You accomplish nothing by posting threads like that, Only people having a go at you.

Could the search bar have neon flashing lights around it? Or as some sites do, Have a search bar above the enter title bit say, "Search for threads that are smiler before posting" Because there are a few thousands Humble indie bundle posts every time saying exactly the same and lots of other threads the same.

Anything other people want to add?

TL,DR: Stuff.....

I think banning is a bit too harsh, suspending for 2 Weeks with a notice why might be enough.

It would simplify the moderation, and nobody could complain. I think by definition that would be a great change, wouldn't it?

If you don't make threads, there is less of a chance of it being dumb and people being annoyed at you :P

I'd suggest a way to make it compulsory to read the FAQs before you can post... But I'm not sure how you could make sure people actually understand rather than just clicking a button saying 'I understand'

Possibly run a mini-quiz where you need 100% correct to post in forums (and possibly enter chat) and 90% correct before you can make giveaways, 80% before you can enter giveaways. So for example, you could have a question like:

Suppose this game is on an Indie Bundle. Can you give it away in a site giveaway?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Skip (counts as a wrong answer)

Suppose this same game is on an Indie Bundle. Can you give the key away as a quick grab on the forums or chat? Can you make a puzzle where the solution is a key?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Skip

And the people need to answer say 10 questions on say a weekly basis for the first month then say 3 questions thereafter on a monthly basis... But to stop cheaters, have the questions be different or selected randomly from a large database of questions...

But then comes the problem of it having to be understandable in multiple languages. But at least it will keep idiots out, but it will also annoy alot of people and then they wont even bother trying to use the site.

Meh. Less idiots is surely worth the small amount of effort required to use Google Translate. The mods don't have to provide the game in all possible languages, the people using the site could use GT themselves... And if they can't due to their own technical ineptitude, they shouldn't be using the internet imo.

Google Translator is garbage, it only translates words wich is good when you know English and need help with one word, but its useless when you dont know nothing about English.

Hmm, yea theres probably better translators out there, or if there was some people who understand English and another language, they could do a translation for the mods so they don't have to do all the work... It was only a thought really.

Yeah.. But then again, hiding private give-aways in that is a bit stupid too, As people will think its ok to post these threads :/...

If that's the main reason for reading the forum then I don't think a person should complain about "I haven't won anything" topics.
