saberwing Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 OMG you were like 10. I always pictured someone older. LOL double that and you'd be closer FWIW, here is my opinion on the rules: * 0 negative TP Feedback OR For every 'x' negative feedback, atleast '5x' positive feedback ----AND----- * 300+ posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 He already has possession of the item. Banning him will prevent that particular member from screwing up future deals, but what about others like him? How many members will be deprived of freebies due to these tactics? I would rather see genuine GI members who have helped to make this community lively and fun be the true beneficiaries of the generosity of their peers. Not some fly-by-night dickwad.

ghb Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 So it takes a mini controversy to get you to participate actively. naah dude, im just increasing my post count i just want to know how u arrived at ur initial count of 500...thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castiel Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 So according to you, when a generous member who gives away stuff for free complains to us about feeling betrayed, we should tell him to live with it ? We should just say "This is Life" and ignore him ? We should tell him that he's a fool and its all his fault? hey i think its upon the winner wat he shud do with it after he won such thing morally he shud not sell such things but we cant control such people ,also how do u know by 500 post that a person is not gonna sell the game or whatever he won ,u cant control these things , also such offers are made for people to happy or make holidays even better by indian santas ,making it available to only few people seems arbitrary everyone shud have equal chance for such opportunities ,cause such regulation are meant to control people who harm the community by various means but how cu a person harm wen sumthing is given away for free ? sum rules here are gud and i appreciate them but this one as i think is arbitrary and u shud rethink !

ghb Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 btw i also feel that to prevent such things, instead of giving it free, one can donate it to the library...the whole concept of contributing a game to be a library member is great and prevents any kind of fraud...just before winning pure, i had ordered my copy of motorstorm PR mostly for the split screen and if the gameplay was similar i would have donated my free copy to the library (i already mentioned this to sam) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaklebolt Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 ^^ you are permanently banning the offending member isn't it ? Cummon, now, tell me, like i've stated before, if 90% of the ppl in the forum are not even eligible, doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a free deal ? I second this, and: ok, lets see, there's a member who spams to 50 posts and can access the trading post. He can offer to sell a couple of games for lets say, Rs. 2000 and run away when I transfer him the money. But hold on ! he needs 500 posts to get something somebody is giving for free !!! ( not to undermine the person who is giving it for free mind you !) and Name the person yaar !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 1000/2 /Snigger. Again I think too many people are actually busy complaining rather than offering their suggestions. What I would suggest is that people post what they think the general criteria should be and maybe the mods can pick up on a sort of a common consenus.

There are more chances of new members doing such stuff than members who have been here for a while. And lets face it, senior members wont face the risk of doing such stupid stuff like selling it cuz rep on the forums is priceless. I've seen kunal cry for the MGS poster..imagine what the runner-up would feel if the thing he craved for and synced his clock 20times to win the prize being sold elsewhere??

Chandranil Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Is it (500posts OR Feedback+3) or (500posts AND feedback+3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaftSmiley Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 right now 500 posts and feedback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argruid Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ok, the way i see it is that the person contributing the freebies is giving back to the forum in some way. And this shouldnt go to an undeserving member. Unfortunately , it wont be possible to categorize the entire community into deserving/undeserving, and the only way to sort of filter out people would be using the postcounts. If the mods decide on 500+ so be it. Atleast that member has been around for long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The member who gifted the item specified that it should not be sold or traded away. By entering the giveway, the winner has de-facto agreed to the terms and then proceeded to breach them by trying to sell it on another website. The purpose behind members giving away expensive stuff for free is to foster and build a sense of camaraderie and belonging in our little gaming community. As Admins/Mods we are in a much better position to gauge a member's standing compared to most of us since one or more of us is usually here 20x7. The same is also true of members who regularly log in to GI and participate in the various threads rather than just sticking to the Trading Post. Members like Reaper, KeyofX, K'Dash, Neo, are certainly in a better position to judge another member than someone like Dan who is relatively new to GI. The 500 post count limit and the other rules will simply help the member running the offer be more confident that his benevolence will not be wasted.

saberwing Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 +1 count I feel your pain, but this isn't going to help. I suggest you post what you think the eligibility criterion should be, and hopefully the mods will take everyone's opinion into consideration.
