Nope, haven't changed. Those people might get suspended soon.

What does calling out mean and what makes it wrong to do?
Comment has been collapsed.
Calling your is when I for example write "jeffhowe scammed me" or "jeffhowe made fake giveaway".
Pretty sure you can see why it's wrong thing to do.
Of course, sometimes people really were scammed. Or make fake giveaways. But sometimes there are impersonators that pretend to be other people and sometimes "so called fake" turns out to be real giveaway and it's not nice to accuse innocent people...

I assume it's only when pointing to people who break the rules? I mean, if I say that I just had a giveaway where I blacklisted dozens of users who never created a single giveaway & never wrote a single comment (the infamous "Level 0 Double Bagel") & won double-digit number of game... that's not considered calling out, right?

Blacklisting someone isn't calling out. It's when you publicly (on forums or GA comments) cite a user as doing something against the rules.

If you make a list where you will write everyone you found who fits those criteria and you'll public it - it will be calling out.
Only thing that is not considered calling out is when you create a thread and then people see you didn't activate some games - I don't think I ever seen person punished for calling out "what about that GAME you won and not have in your library".

I think that would still be considered calling out and you could potentially get in trouble for it

Seen it happen few times already, even from high level users. So, no idea what's the official policy, but it feels like "if OP done something wrong, you can throw rotten eggs and tomatoes, since they draw a spotlight on themselves on their own".

Calling out exists under two forms:
1 leave a comment on a giveaway claiming that said giveaway is fake and shouldn't be entered.
2 create a thread to accuse a user of something. (scam, fake giveaway, etc.)
How to avoid it:
1 if you have evidence, contact support about it, nothing else.
2 do not write the user's name or give a link to the user's profile. Basically, just complain without ever saying who did it.

3 - Wait at least several months as your report site in a queue untouched. It may also do this indefinitely, And even if it does get addressed, it will probably be much too late to matter anymore and/or amount to little more than a slap on the wrist.

manual report using the "other" option. i did a few this way. the last time i did it ronix complained i should use the user report feature, but the other mods didnt seem to mind, or just thanked me for the report, so i think its ok. the Other option goes to the normal mods and the user report goes to higher up people.

i've seen a mix of reports get dealt with fast & others that stay open, maybe they have a way to see if a single user is getting multiple reports from multiple people to trigger a higher priority

I've never had a problem with support, they've been great for everything I've requested/reported

they get suspended and banned from internet so fast sg doesn't have time to update their status.

How about people who call people out on calling other people out on something else?

So, you're calling out people calling out callers for calling out people callers? You are cunning.

The vicious cycle of mini modding. You can't tell someone not to mini-mod without doing it yourself.

Since we're in the subject of calling out, isn't announcing when you blacklist someone a kind of calling out? I mean, isn't it enough to just blacklist someone silently? I think that, in a way, this creates unnecessary 'blacklist drama' and poisons the community.

Did the rules about calling out change? I just saw a TON of people calling out "fake" on a GA.....
