D33P@K Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmm... i could see this coming.. I would strongly agree with the 500+ Posts & Zero Negative feedback (if any +5 positive feedbacks). yeah the 500 posts counts limit may hurt some of our genuine members/contributors... but eventually i am sure they will make it there without having to spam. these free offers and alike are the things that are making regular member a permanent one ,if u restrict every move of a new member he will eventually loose interest in forum due to his inability to participate ,these are the kind of things that keep hopes of members high and escalated ,tell me if i m wrong dude i completely disagree wit ur points... this forum is not about free offers..its all about gaming, the free offers started rolling in GI only few days back thanks to Dan.

rana Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 damn.....feeling sad for the ppl who were giving free stuff to fellow GI'ans.........i think 500 posts are fair enough........ppl will get to know about a member .........but taking the TP feedback isn't a good idea IMHO..members with no positive feedback will be left out....also a bit sad about the comment made my someone saying that members with less post count aren't "genuine GI members".......i have been a member of this site for the past year or so and yes didn't post much...but i log on to GI every day and hang in here for a couple of hours....for the first time i feel a like an outsider as iam typing this..... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 yeah maybe the 500 post count rule is not fair, maybe 100 should do, coz if any member can go to TP section with posts less than 100, then he also should get rest of the features. and what the heck r u mods/admins thinking with that positive negative thing of trading post? people not always come here for trading things, so even if he's been a member for 10 years and got 1,00,000 posts, but he haven't traded, does that mean he is not eligible to avail these awesome stuff?

HundredProofSam Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 hmm i felt that the beauty of these 12GB offers was the level of participation....imposing post count and trading feedback restrictions will kinda dilute the fun IMO peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most of us stay here coz of the great environment, not due to offers and stuff - i mean they are just bonuses. Even then, you have given your suggestions. Mods/Admins are working on it....so chill, even if you can't avail the free offer, there are many other good things like the GI library, GI shout, GI game facilitation service, the spl price game offers and above all the regular console wars And its not like the rule is imposed ain't it ? The seller still has the freedom to make his own rules, only thing, he can't get back to the admins/mods in that case. That should satisfy some , cummon, you can't get everything. And even if you are eligible for these offers, what are the chances you win them anyway :/ ? Don't read between the lines and feel bad about it, instead, get back to the fun mode.

Pushy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 yeah actually what NeO said is true, it's still the choice of the person giving away free stuff, but it's always a safe bet to have mods/admins having backing u up, and that this rule breaks, so DUMB RULE regarding TP and post count, in mah words........

HundredProofSam Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 banning or suspending members is a serious thing and can/should only be done for breaking a GI rule....a person giving away something free cant decide that someone will be banned if they dont meet one of his requirements....thats not his decision, its the mods'/admins' so these rules can be there as backup, i guess (havent gone through the whole OP or the previous pages)....a member hosting a giveaway/12BG can use these rules if he wants.....but he should also be allowed to open it to all members with access to the trading post, in which case there will be no recourse if the winning member cheats/defaults peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunallkw Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 so he should be not applicable to trade + no 12 BG deals + most rights restricted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 @ Sam, exactly, that guy giving offers will feel secure when he has mods/admins backing him up if anything goes wrong, and thats why, yes, rules should be made, but trading post rule is kinda let off dude, coz dude, not every person comes here to trade. the 500 post count rule is also dumb, but i cannot question mods/admin feel to impose it, but that trading post feedback breaks the spirit man. i mean look, if i want to participate in that free offer but i haven't traded anything, that just sets me back that why am i not able to get these offers? i haven't broke any rule, i have not offended anyone, it's just i haven't traded! and there are so many gamers that are here for just the gaming contents that IVG Offers, but when they see these awesome free offers even they feel to participate, but this trading post stuff lets them down. it's not about winning, it's about participating, and if majority of the people cannot do that, then WhatThef**k!!!! o_O and with those rules MT posted, almost 90% of GI members cannot participate in these free offers o_O IMO, this should be done, post count should be 100, and if a mod/admin/GI member comes to know that rules posted in Free offer have been broken, the member will be insta banned from all the free offers and also from Trading Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Okay. Based on the feedback received from all of you we have decided NOT to impose any rules for the free offers. The main reason for this is the lack of any better yet impartial alternative to the post count criteria, which in itself is not a completely fair benchmark. Here's what we propose to do instead: SITUATION 1 Official punishment for breaking rules of the offer Members running free offers can contact the Mods/Admins with the entire opening post of their offers along with any rules and conditions they might want to impose. If they specifically wish that members breaking the rules should be banned or punished, this should be mentioned in their PM to us. Based on what the rules and conditions are and what we judge to be fair, the Mods/Admins will signify their consent or lack thereof, to some sort of punishment for offending members. Only then can the offers be opened. SITUATION 2 No official punishment for breaking rules of the offer Members who wish to put up free offers but do not want the Mods/Admins to get involved in case of any post deal disputes with the winners, do not need to PM us before opening the threads with the offers.
