I've been thinking about suggesting this one for a while now actually since forever really, even when I'd just check for new bundles and I'd see it everywhere, ever since I've been lurking around the forums more than I even wanted (I don't have strong will power that forces me to stop indeed).
So basically I would like to suggest to completely ban the word train from every aspect of SteamGifts. That means that every user from the moment this new rule is implemented (and I know it will be) should also receive a ban according to the degree of the crime. Of course that would mean that I would also receive a ban for actually mentioning the word here - which I'm completely fine with, if that means getting rid of this horrid word from the face of the planet forums!
I tend to not develop strong feelings towards meaningless things (as you can obviously tell), but this time, only this time, something got the better of me and I just could not resist!

Here's just a little idea how to treat the blasphemers that will not bow down and still use the word even after it has been banned:
Used the word 1 time - Ban for a day!
Used the word 2 times - May only enter Bad Rats giveaways for a month!
Used the word 3 times - Ban for a month!
Used the word 4 times - Banned forever!
As you can see, I've been very lenient with the punishments... so mods, feel free to make them a lot lot worse.

Another idea is that you'd just make it so that the word would automatically be changed into another word (lets say gorgonzola) upon it being posted.

So for all of you who like my suggestion here's a list of games I'm giving away. For those of you who don't like my idea, I have devised a punishment game, which involves you also being able to join my giveaways (as long as you meat the requirements - in this case the levels that bind the giveaways). I've left a few "gems" out as I'm kind of working on making a Whitelist for all you wonderful people who actually went ahead and smoked something that made you include me in your Whitelist, and for other members that I deem suitable or worthy if you will. No ETA on when I'll get round to it, but hopefully before those games are given away for free.

Do you have any consideration to clarify why would you want to interdict such propotious word?

it is a standout amongst the most normally utilized word.

In what capacity can such word exasperate you?

Well, to the point that it makes me not open threads with such titles and in a way miss out on potential giveaways for games I'd really like to get.

Is it just the english word? So can I say Zug, trein, treno or use Trai(n) in any other language

Trein is awfully similar so I guess that one should be banned as well! The other words seem fine =).

That's good to know. I wonder if sg needs to hire more people to implement this. We do not want the admins to get stressed by this extra task
