"Advertising" is permitted within giveaway descriptions. Advertising one's Steam Group is permitted within the Steam Group sub-forum. All other forms of "advertising" are prohibited.
Our objective is to keep SG free of the spam which afflicts other sites. Occasionally users will post YouTube or site links for "other reasons." These are generally ignored. If Support deems a link of yours to be in violation of the "no advertising" rule, we will ask you to remove it. Non-compliance and/or repetition of the infraction will be poorly received by Support Staff.

I was just about to go complain.
I was angry at first - not at you, but the rules... just to make that clear. I felt I should at least mention the distinction between the two, since... my tantrum/drama.
Anyway, thanks for keeping the forums up the way you have, Khalaq! ;)

You seem to be referring to multiple things/instances, here, and I'm afraid you've lost me. Please note, however, that I have nothing against you personally. I wish I had the time to check the forum as regularly and carefully as our users deserve, but that hasn't been the case. I am therefore forced to choose between "doing nothing" and "doing something, albeit sporadically." I chose the latter, but that comes with its own set of drawbacks.
And now I've gone and used up all my time, again. P

You did technically cover it with your next comment, but it may be better to be clear on it.

Now you're starting to understand my own frustrations... Why only steam groups? What makes them special?
Curations shold be allowed as well, at the very least... and where do you draw the line? I mean... we've already crossed it waay to far. Plus General Guideline point 7 in steamgifts' own rules clearly states otherwise... where it states clearly:
Such actions include but are not limited to clicking a referral link, liking a Facebook page, following a Twitter account, joining a Steam group... blah blah blah
I call BS!
Free Desolater bump - why not!

Why only steam groups? What makes them special?
Steam Group recruiting is a special exemption to the "no advertising" rule, but only in the Steam Group Recruitment sub-forum.
Simple mentioning of a Steam group does not usually constitute "advertising," although circumstances may indicate that the mention is indeed designed to that effect. If Support deems such a mention to be "crossing the line," they will act upon it.

Mentioned? Perhaps. It would depend upon the circumstances. Recruited for? No, that would require a category change.

Thanks for the giveaways! I always want to enter your stuff, sometimes even just because of your avatar. I'm a huge FFX fan, so I see Tidus, I squeal like a little girl and click.

Hello Desolater
If you'd post links to private giveaways, then they could be in both general or other forum categories. But as you created giveaways for your group, and it's required to join to be able to enter I will move this topic to group-recruitment category.
It will be less confusing, as seeing giveaways outside of group recruitment indicate you don't need to be part of the group to enter.

Hello,
This year I've decided to give back to those who support me on Steam or on Youtube so i'm having a rather large giveaway of good games restricted to
My Steam Group |:https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GamingTaylor
Anyone is welcome to join, I just didn't want it to be fully public as these games do have some value:
