Be honest- How long were you ignorant of this sites rules?

i read the rules before i posted or even entered/gave away.
Really dont know why people cant be bothered to read the rules of a community they wish to join.

Eh, I know I broke some rules before reading the FAQ. I just don't remember what rules.

Eh, don't remember when I read them, but it definitely wasn't any time soon after joining the site. Keeping track of the forum and using common sense pretty much made them obvious. Of course, this was before contributor-only giveaways were even introduced so having common sense then was much easier. :D

I did, however, learn the unspoken rule of not making suggestions just because I thought they were a good idea without thinking of how people can abuse them to cause chaos. ^_^'

When I joined, I was more puzzled about this "bundle" classification of games! Turns out you can get 4 to 5 games for $1, hehe

That actually compelled me look at the FAQ, cause I knew there had to be some rules in place to counter such exploits! So no.....fortunately I was never as uninformed as those $30 CV thread starters! XD

I read the FAQ as soon as I joined

i read them when i came in but i forgot about ref links and got suspended for a day :P

I read the rules as soon as I joined. I tend to look through the giveaway rules as well everytime I make one. I don't wanna sound like the typical goody two-shoes but I'd hate to be the "oh wat? banned why? i only sold my gift that i won huehuehueuhe".

Hrm, read the rules at the start but it sounded like a scam so I didn't make any giveaways. Decided it was real after winning some ubi.com exploit dlc - if it were fake they'd have told me I just won a Skyrim. :)

I've honestly never read through them properly (Bad, I know!), I've just learnt from others mistakes that I see posted with comments saying to not do that really and as well as using what common sense I have.

i didint read them, i pretty much apply most of my common sense and saw how other people who broke rules.

however i was ignorant of 1 rule, the whining , and i made a thread whining why i coulnt win saints row 3 with all those giveaways, didint got me banend but it sure made me get excluded from some giveaways.

also necroing but that was because i forgot to check the date of the last post, but was not really on purpose

When I joined I read the main rules but not the whole FAQ. Before I had a chance to formulate any questions that would have been answered by the FAQ though, I learned it all through just lurking on the forums. But when I did have a question I always looked in the FAQ or searched first.

I always read FAQs meanwhile i eat popcorns

I actually did read the rules first but still got suspended because I posted a Bioshock Infinite spoiler in the forum and apparently it violated the "Be considerate to others" rule. 1 week suspension for that.

I think I violated that rule again in the SG chat so now I'm banned from it. :/ Now where am I going to drop keys?

Oh right...here...

If you got it, please say so.

I don't think I've ever broken any of the rules... Though I did ask what happens if you do win multiple copies of a game after reading the FAQ a bit.

The very first thought that crossed my mind when I came to the site was something along the lines of "Wow, people selflessly giving gifts to strangers, there has to be a catch or something...this is just too cool to be true" and I subsequently went looking for something like a FAQ or "About Us" page to figure out how it all worked.

That being said, I did get suspended for posting referral links unknowingly (was just copying and pasting amazon links from a deal thread I saw without realizing what was going on, this got lifted once I talked to loko though) and any other suspensions I've gotten were due to intentionally breaking rules (calling devboosters begging pieces of shit for begging developers for games just to increase their CV and pointing out that a particular community member uses SAM to show off to the community)

Took me about 10 minutes after joining to read the rules. I re-read them when I made my first giveaway. I never understood people who for one reason or another couldn't be bothered to take 2 minutes to read a forum/sites rules. Boggles my mind.

I lurked for awhile before my first giveaway so by the time I did one, I knew the rules. Bless you, forum-goers, for preventing me from looking like a ding dong.

That's why I always try to be nice to people who post the $30 CV threads or the dumb questions. Seriously though, best advice for new people (to any website!): LURK MOAR. ;)

I read the rules before I joined but didn't fully understand the part about calling out giveaways at first so there's probably a giveaway out there from my first month that I've said fake in. :p

how is winning the same game an offense?

lets say you want a the game F.E.A.R.3 and you wanna increase your chance of winning it, over winning something else... ofc you will join a couple of giveaways for the same game.... and then what you get super lucky and all of the sudden you are violating rules?

wat

like for a week or two when i wanted to regift a game and found out i couldn't XD it never showed me any rules when i first signed up XD

Right until my 1st HB giveaway. So that 3 weeks of ignorance.

Funnily enough, I did read the FAQ when I joined, and thus haven't broken any rules (that I know of)

a friend of mine told me about the site and the rules. some days later i read all of the faq and joined. but without him i honestly wouldn't know that the faq exists :S

I still don't understand CV.

Never broke any.
