bler144: I, however, am not that smart. I'm not eligible to enter the GA anyway, since at one point I heckled the ninja giveaway thread, which is apparently as bad as participating in the ninja giveaway thread.
C'est la pie.
HypersomniacLive: moonshineshadow: Yep, if you posted there you are not allowed to enter certain giveaways. Of course you are allowed to make giveaways if you posted there that forbid everyone who did the same to enter. Such double standards ;-)
HypersomniacLive: I think you misunderstand
how that rule works - it's the active participation in the form of dropping and/ or taking codes in that thread that's problematic.
That may be the problem they seek to fight, but the No Tolerance of TB...B admin's in both that GA and in other GA's they do seems to defeat a lot of the stated purpose. When there is no real chance for forgiveness and the ease of making an infraction is huge, then they lock out potential recruits who may not have known about alternatives (ex. Bler).
Example:
*Participating in TBBBBoB in lieu of grabbing that single game from a code dump.
If you didn't already know about TB...B, then it may well be too late by the time you find out, and any intentions you might have about becoming a better community member (now that you've heard about a problem) are worthless.
