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

Seeing a large surge of people going "Omg only $30 CV WAI ;____:", it reminded me of when I was stupid like that, too. I wanted to see how many of the forum-goers HONESTLY didn't know all of the rules and/or broke some. 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. As for me: I didn't know about the FAQ until having the used the site for about 2-3 months. Here's every rule that I broke:

  • Winning multiple copies of one game
  • Regifting
  • Necro'ing

And of course, I got suspended for a whopping 2 weeks, and basically vowed to never come back. That didn't work out xD. I was also tempted to make a thread about my CV not working right. I had about $55 CV, and after having given away a second copy of The Ship, I had noticed that my CV hadn't gone up. I was going to ask in a thread, having noted I had seen people's CV break at $30 all the time, but then decided to just ask someone in the group I was in at the time. At least I had given away non-bundle games too, eh?

Now it's your turn. Tell us your story

after i found this site, i first had to find out if it was legit and not just another one of those sites.
after that, it was all good and since ive been around for a while, the rules were pretty simple and then have been added, adjusted, and posted so its been pretty easy to follow along heh.

One of the first things I did when I found this site was read the FAQ. I'm not clicking on a button that tells me to log in with my Steam credentials without checking it out, first.

As for "rules I have broken," I made the mistake of posting a legitimate question. (More of a taboo than an actual rule.) Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize how sensitive SG users were to the entire "How long before one can expect to win something on the site?" thingie. One or two people were actually kind enough to answer my question, but the flames were enough to burn down a city block.
