"No calling out" rule?

The giveaways are free so there really isn't a whole awful lot at stake, and it's easy to be wrong when calling someone out. (So they leave such determinations until the giveaway has ended and the gift giver has a chance to make good on their obligation.) (Or use the report button I guess) I suspect that's what's up with that, 'though I'm certainly not certain.
(Yes, it is forbidden, even when it seems ridiculous)

If you had read the FAQ you would not have to ask.

There is a difference between calling out on somebody and telling other people to be aware that there are plenty of factors that give this GA a 99.95% chance to be fake/made because the creator thought he'd get the game, not have to give it away.
However, this difference is not made here.

Basically, people were becomingly increasingly rude towards the creators of allegedly fake giveaways. The problem was that not all were fake -- some people were actually stepping up with great first giveaways of AAA games, and they were upset with the insults. So site management decided to put in place a blanket ban on such comments.

I get what you're saying.

Yes its not nice to call out, yes its easy to be wrong, but people kinda overreact.

Besides 8 out of 10 times I saw some one calling out a GA was fake, it turned out to be true...

But I still think its a good rule tough.

Previously there were 6 AC4 giveaways I didn't enter for because I thought they might be fake. All of them turned out to be fake. I won't enter for this one either though it can be legit. Will this be the combobreaker? Time will tell...

The reason the "Calling Out" rule is there is because regardless if whatever the person is being called out for is true or not, that person is being harassed in a way (or the calling out could lead to harassment).
While it may seem harmless to point out that you think a giveaway is fake in your opinion, if it turns out not to be, that could seriously offend the giveaway creator. Imagine how it'd feel if you decide to giveaway a AAA game to a random stranger out of the kindness of your heart and then people started peppering the comments with "FAKE!" or whatever. Sounds extremely discouraging, doesn't it? People don't lose anything of value by entering a fake giveaway and there is no way to tell which are truly fake, so it's much better to avoid offending the people who really are giving something away than to "warn" people that they might not get their 60 free automatically-replenishing points back.
The same situation is with any kind of "offense" someone might get called out for on the forum. Those can lead to witch hunts (because some people apparently like throwing rocks at others who they were told did something wrong) and there have been cases of people being wrongly accused and harassed despite having done nothing wrong.

Oh, wait... you weren't asking "why" it's forbidden but "if" it's forbidden. Yep, it is. Read the FAQ. Stuff are there for a reason. ;)

that person himself is in need of ac 4 , just have a look at his wishlist ;)

I just created a thread about this when I noticed that one.

Why not just explain him how it works instead of just waiting to get suspension of bad feedback ?

Can someone translate this to spanish ?

"Hello, looks like you're new to steamgifts. Welcome among us ! It seems like you created a giveaway for 3 copies of [...], and I suspect you might not know how the site works.
By creating a giveaway, you commited yourself to buy and gift 3 copies of [...] to 3 randomly selected users. You can refer to the Spanish FAQ if you want to understand how the site works, or write a support ticket if you have any trouble.

If you created this giveaway by mistake, you can head here, select the giveaway you created, and delete it.

If you didn't create it by mistake, disregard this message... And welcome !"

Hmm creating fake giveaways INTENTIONALLY to get MARKED UP CV is also harming the winner.

I have been a victim of one where the person creating the giveaway which I won from over 4,400 other people INSISTED it was not fake but I never receive the game in anyway and he wouldn't copy the code to our steam chat window.

His other fake giveaway has also not been marked received.

A fine example of sick mentality where there's no shame nor guilt.

Hang on -

Did you just call out someone for calling out?

/report

:-)

Yup, it is forbidden.

From the site rules:
"Do not call out submitters in giveaways. Please click the report button or submit a ticket, do not comment on the giveaway claiming the giveaway to be fake."
"Please do not call out users in the forum or chat. Submit a ticket in the Support Forum."

If you believe that a giveaway is fake, let us know by creating a support ticket.

Closing thread.
