Request to ban BlueLegion (details inside)

It seems like he actually won not 1, but 2 copies of Portal. There REALLY needs to be a profile check for the games you already own.

wtf hes won 5 now?

Unfortunately there isn't really any set terms and conditions on the site yet, so BlueLegion isn't really doing anything wrong. The main problem is that BlueLegion pretty much entered everything on the site before the points system was introduced. Considering they've won 5 giveaways, I think taking away all their entries prior to the points system would be acceptable.

Perhaps the same for all of those who got >100 entries prior to the point system, make it fairer on those who've been considerate of their entries.

BAN BAN BAN

Okay, it is ...disappointing... if he is actually entering for games that he already owns, or winning (and accepting) for games that he's already won.

Still, I don't think he deserves a BAN; the outright anger people direct at him should be enough. Once limits are able to be imposed then that will be how it is, but as it is- fair is fair... even if it feels a little unfair. He's a lucky guy, I'm sure he'll be second guessing how he feels about winning those games and being more careful of the contests he enters from now on.

I kinda go along with jessej07. I don't see Blue doing anything wrong. There is a difference between a moral code and rules for the website. He obviously would like to win it all. But at this point I don't see him doing anything that completely violates the site.

ofc it's fine to enter give aways for games you do not own im just not ok with people entering for games they do own to trade to other people. you have entered many portal contests which isnt fine. And the points should not be refunded if you entered the contest b4 the points system.

top of the page, accounts and invites, invite codes.

I am +1 on the banning, especially since he has won multiple copies of a game he already owns. (Portal). I say if he is not banned then to remove all of his entries and ALL of his points. Let him start at zero with no current games bidding on.

i really dont see the point. i'm not cheating the system or anything, and everyone else had the chance to do the same.
so what if i already own the games? i happen to have over 185 on steam, legitimately obtained. and i like passing my winnings (although i didnt actually expect to win anything beforehand) on to close friends and family, since i dont have any invite codes to share.
As long as the as the donator of the giveaway doesnt state that doesnt want anyone entered who has the game already, i did nothing wrong. and for those giveaways where it's stated, i'm not in them.

PS: i already removed all my entries in further HL2 and portal giveaways.

I do not think he deserves a ban. He is really lucky. I have entered all the Portal giveaways that I could find and I have not won. (Portal is the game i am really hoping to win). Just bad luck for me, cant really blame him or take my frustration on him. About winning games he already had? Should not be possible but the current system allows it so, it is not bannable. Is it moral? Not it is not moral IMO.

A ban? No, maybe not. A tsk, tsk? Yes indeed.

Blue, please don't enter contests for games you already own. If you are trying to give the games to friends and family, I get that, but they have to wait until the site it made public for them to enter and have a chance at winning. The site is a giveaway place where people who don't own a game, and really do want it, can enter to win. I'm not in favor of banning you, but I do understand the reason why some people want you banned.. You are exploiting what could be a nice thing for your own benefit.

Yes for a ban. It should be an unwritten rule, you don't sign up for games you already have. Either that or make it so the site doesn't allow you to sign up for games you already have.

A ban? Really? Please tell me all of you are joking. He's been lucky, that's it. He's not hacking the site or using an exploit to win.

Ban? For what? There are no rules (there are if the benefactor write), so he enter so many giveaways, now there are some restrictions (points) so he wont join so easly (or he has a plan to exit ending giveaways and join long term giveaway so he can get full points for long time). But if there isn't any laws and rules he can not be banned.

this site hardly seems random if someone is winning 5 games, wtf.. i've entered 80 giveaways and only won 1 game so far.. this is bullshit and i hope the mods do something about this.

must everyone say it's not in the rules so i can do it. Thats just retarded some things are common sense. If you are walking down the road and some one has fallen over do you help them up? yes is it the law no, its the right thing to do.
