Nothing against posting your FB/YT though. As long as you don't, and I quote exactly, "force users, encourage users through reward, or primarily exist as a traffic source for users to perform an action".
He only wanted to start a giveaway after he gets 100 subscribers. I think that's "encouraging". If he did a GA and posted everything there plus a comment like "I'll be doing more as soon as I have 100 subscribers" it would probably be okay.
But I also didn't expect that he would close the thread right now. I'm not sure anymore.
Oh wow, really? I opened multiple threads in tabs and must have gotten confused, so didn't notice that. Definitely a spammer - He was even linking to his thread in other threads...
Yeah.. he wrote that he wouldn't force users, but of course he would reach 100 subscribers faster, if .. and then he'd start a GA. Yes, I noticed your posting ("Don't spam" in the 7 month old thread).
Wait are you for real? That's so cool of you! Thank you so much, I'll have a game to go back to after dropping it for so long. ^^
I just want to say... I've had a not so great time these past few weeks due to various stress-inducing problems which have been dragging me down, and this gesture really lifted my mood quite a bit so... sincerely, thank you for your kindness. ^^
Yeah I splurged and got GW2 when it was first released, binged it hardcore for a couple weeks but then dropped it after pretty much beating the main game on my char, was a lot of fun at the time though! So glad to hear it's going to a good home, really hope things start looking up for you. :)
Nah, my public real CV count is super low (.9 I think) since I basically never make public giveaways.
It's no worries though, I could probably make a giveaway and be eligible for it if I wanted to, I just don't like to do public giveaways. I appreciate the gesture anyways! :D
Plus, I'll probably buy BL3 in a deep discount at some point (hoping for this summer sale but I have my doubts) so the game might as well go to someone who can't afford that luxury
Ah ok. I always thought people naturally started with public giveaways, and then moved to group and restricted giveaways once they realised they weren't winning anything. Showing my naivety.
Oh yeah, most people likely do - when I started using SG it was to win though, not give (I couldn't afford to give at the time, didn't even know about bundles) so I didn't make giveaways. but soon I learned about the SG forum and started being very active there, rather than on the public side of things. Most of what I gave away after that, I gave away in giveaway/event/puzzle threads I made in the forum, so private giveaways, and have mostly avoided the public side of SG since then. Public giveaways aren't very fun. :P
These days I just lurk the forum occasionally and don't really participate in creating giveaways aside from what's required in one of the groups I'm in. The whole thing with Steam disabling inventory gifts put a damper on my gifting habits, to be honest.
It's about the positive thread, which I appreciate very much.
Lately it happens more and more often, than instead of different quite obvious bot protections folks post link, which are encrypted/mini puzzles. No matter, if I can or can't solve those, I feel very bad about them in this thread, as I've explained in my private comment (that I quote below) to the last GA by Oppenh4imer, who was subsequently kind enough to repost the link without the initial mini-puzzle. However coming at GA creators with criticism like this also doesn't feel too good to me, so I will not do this any more. If you share my sentiment, I think it's time to amend the OP with request for GA creators there with something like: "Please, feel free to use simple bot protection in your links, but do not turn them into mini-puzzles or encrypt them in such way, that anyone could have a problem getting to your GA."
Cheers :)
Sadly I have to say this again: in my opinion your latest "+" is not nice in Positive thread.
Puzzles are fine, but not there. It's not a place, where I like seeing folks being provoked to ask "am I idiot? ;(". Same way in which I wouldn't appreciate same long unseen uncle giving my kids (or even me) a gift under an X-mas tree locked with a puzzle and happily teasing "... but sure you can solve it, it's not really hard :)". This is a thread to which we come for something nice, not for a possible additional frustration.
And, no, I don't ask for spoilers, just change it for everyone to a protection without this "+", please.
Thanks for your gifts, for your almost always wonderful contributions to the community and have a great day. Cheers :)
I can appreciate your honesty and being forthcoming about your feelings - with that said, I believe that contributors should be allowed to contribute giveaways as they see fit, as long as it follows community guidelines and doesn't intentionally cause grief to people. In this particular case, it's unfortunate to hear that giveaways with advanced anti-bot/puzzles have caused you dismay, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with this action.
Even though the thread has become a "giveaways" thread, the intention was never for the giveaways to be the focus, just an extra. If a particular anti-bot/puzzle proves to be too much of a challenge, I would suggest to simply carry on without attempting further - it isn't worth it if it gives you a bad feeling. That's what I do, I don't like to solve puzzles, so I avoid them altogether. :D
Thank you

Hello! I'm posting here on an old GA to discretely invite you to this GA for Obduction.
More details here & bump/share, if you like!
P.S. I may have participated in your puzzles, or I shamelessly scraped your name (&reference/recommendation) from Cakeday II - The real one [5 puzzles and 101 GAs] :D

Here are the instructions, says you can't redeem to an already registered account, not sure if that's a deal breaker for you.
