Please don't hate me. I was young and fool. I thought that, by doing that, I would be cool and girls would like me more. I was wrong. :'(

yeah, that's always annoying. it's not that i didn't deserve it, but i certainly didn't deserve it while others got to get away with it that were right there doing the exact same thing in a even more direct way. mine was a vague referral to whom i was speaking about whereas the other two people were direct and named them. but since i used a spoiler to hide the vagueness instead of just simply stating it outright i guess it caught their attention more then the others.

I mostly think support do a good job in the circumstances - but with regards to 'no calling out' I'm less than impressed with punishments and their consistency.

I've now been called out on multiple occasions by worthless sacks of crap for 'blacklisting people for no reason' and that appears to be fine while I've bit my tongue about them being trade scammers, sharing puzzle links, breaking rules, etc for fear of getting into trouble myself.

I told my cousin about this site and he decided to start off by making a nice giveaway and he took so much abuse for making a 'fake giveaway' that he never came back. The ringleader of that bullshit never got suspended and I've seen him being just as hostile to new users since then without crossing whatever arbitrary line has been drawn.

It's a whole pile of hogshit. Some can lie to get other users into trouble and that is fine. Some can tell the truth but apparently some things need to be kept secret.

You don't even have to post a link to get suspended for calling out, just remotely saying in someone's topic, why someone had 2 double wins, is enough for 2 days.

Thanks for clearing it out for me!

400 wins and 0 sent is nothing against the rules, and shouldn't be so, it might be lame, but that's another thing.

There is something to say about people saying they been scammed, also because there isn't always clear proof or people being impersonated, i can see the protection there.

Having not activated wins and when you can't even tell if someone has been suspended for it before, there is something to say about that.

Instead of some differences being made it's all dumped on 1 pile.

Not quite. See my descrtiption.

I get it now, thank you for clearing this one out for me.

So a while back somebody started a topic about me 'blacklisting them for no reason' and I don't recall anybody being punished. Presumably that was a public disclosure of private information - that is something that would have been private information between me and the user had it not been publicly disclosed. And presumably it was done with the intent of highlighting said information to negative effect - the accusation was not only inaccurate but got me a lot of blacklists and abuse (both here on steamgifts and also offsite). I'm not complaining, just interested in clarification on that one...

Edit: I had the link handy for that one; https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/cEwwR/blacklisted-by-someone-you-have-never-met-or-dealt-with The user later edited me out of the original post but that was long after I'd explained myself and still taken a lot of shit for things I hadn't done. I wouldn't make a post like that for fear of breaking the rules - how do other people get away with it? Although to be fair I was pretty rude to some of the replies and probably I was lucky to get away with not being suspended myself...
