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

0 days. Due to two things: 1) I joined the site when it was still private and invites were hard to come by (christ it's weird to think back to those days), and the rules were much more lax because of the smaller community, and 2) I was a wee bit suspicious of the validity of the site, so I read all the FAQs/rules to make sure it was on the up-and-up. Still took until my first win to truly convince me though. I still remember when 300 people in a public giveaway was a crazy high number, and <100 was common. No CV back then either. It was a simpler time.

About... two days?

Rules I broke:

• Spamming/trolling in chat
• Leaking giveaway in chat

The leak was kind of an accident, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to share links of private giveaways... Heck, I didn't even know what WAS a private giveaway.

As for the spamming... Entirely my own fault. I just got a kick and got a warn, but it still counts as a rule broken.
Now, I try to be careful to follow the rules and everything... But a while ago, I was... An idiot.

Well, I'm sure some users still think I'm an idiot... :P

read the rules maybe a day after i joined..

i figured there's gotta be rules for this site somewhere, so i found them.

I've been ignorant to being active on the forums.

This one is easy
• Winning multiple copies of one game
I have no way to mark it or add to a list library here that I all ready own it like at gameminer dose which allow me filter them out under IE.
So you see it Steamgifts and Steam is own fault that Sync Game Library doesn't always work right just like some game I do own but they are not on Steam own Web Library.
It should be noted that must people don't update Sync Game Library they just wait for auto update which is ever 7 days

I read the rules immediately, dude, and searched all around the site about a lot of stuff, since I contributed right away and didn't want to screw up. Also, that's just proper respect to the people providing the service to you :p

this site has rules... O.O

I actually thought this site was too good to be true, so I immediately checked the forum and rules. I just skimmed through it so I might break a rule someday...

goes to rules thread

Exactly 0 minutes

A week or two. I first read them when I decided to make a giveaway, wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing.

I did skim through the FAQ when I joined, even if you don't want this kind of answer it is what happened, and if you want the truth that is it.

Although, skimming through it isn't the same as reading it, and I only really got the most general rules. I knew that regifting was bad from the start and that I should add the game to my account asap... Necroing and winning multiple copies I didn't know from the faq but it was simple common sense that stopped me from doing that...

Not sure how much time since that day passed until I really read the FAQ, but I know it was when I saw my first puzzle thread in the "New from the forums" section of the website, it forced me to look for the puzzles guide, and in that search hype I learned a lot more about SG. If I was to guess how long it took me to do this since I registered I'd say... something like a week or so. (Thank god it didn't take months, cause on that same day I found out about SG+ I didn't care much about the site before that xD)

I know I'm one of the newer members, but I believe I'm well aware of most if not all of the site rules, and if I'm ever unsure of something I always search or ask before I do it.

Edit: I forgot to say what rules I broke, but I don't think I ever broke a rule, not that I can recall... I didn't comment on a lot of giveaways when I first started, but that's not really rule breaking, more like a slight lack of etiquette.

Didn't break any rules that I'm aware of, except possibly swearing at a mod. Got suspended for that but it got revoked, and they're gone, I'm still here.

but I actually did read them before signing up. necro rule is stupid so i may eventuality forget that one

I actually read the rules shortly after I signed up. I say shortly after because I was "forced" to register for the Fairy Solitaire mass giveaway. A couple of days after that I actually came on the site for real, read the rules, and began participating. The most difficult has been to follow the changes in the CV rules. I still thought it was 30$, but a recent check-up made me discover it might be 25$ of bundle games instead of 30$ (though I did get the 20% value of non-bundle after that cap).

The funny thing is how you still see copies of games that were marked as abused long ago. You frequently see a rogue copy of Bulletstorm and the such on here.

Never read the FAQ, still haven't. There's no need, there's enough teachers pets on this forum willing to point out every little transgression so I pick it up as I go.

Well, sorry but another read the FAQ blah blah here so I didn't break rules here at least. But, I was the clicky click click enter every single giveaway and write no comments type for the past 2 month. (Now I copy paste thanks haha.)

Read them before entering my first giveaway. Well, atleast the highpoints, and let the details trickle in later . Don't think I've broken any of the rules either.

I read the FAQ after first going to the forum, which I think was a few days after I joined the site and made my first giveaway.

i was curious about the * behind some games so i actually read the rules and FAQs after my first giveaway

"I still expect to see people go "Well I read the FAQ as soon as I joined because I'm a competent blah blah blah", but I wanna see the truth."

Well, that is the truth, because I don't like making a complete arse of myself when I join a new site.

I didn't read the FAQ for a long while, but I lurked the forums long enough to determine the general flow of things. Aside from a couple forums that burnt to the ground or didn't take off at all, I think I've had a pretty good run so far.

There's rules? (j/k, I read the rules the time I joined because I thought this place was too good to be true.)

Didn't know if this site was legit or if there was a catch so I read the entire FAQ before even signing in to the site.

Never broke a rule, never been suspended.
