    Personal Giveaways at Forum- A Small clarification

    We are putting a stop on personal giveaways. Its not allowed until

    1. You have a minimum post count of 30
    2. you are a member of forum for last 2 months

    Right now, only Ashwin, Mike and Grr can hold a Personal giveaway.

    If you do not full-fill the above conditions and still want to giveaway something, Ask me or forum MOD, we would love to hear from everyone willing to giveaway or help members.

    EDIT- tHE REASON FOR THIS... IF ANYONE OF YOU IS WONDERING.

    One of our forum members canceled two giveaways in between and I cant help but to put this rule.

    Its embarrassing for me to tell members that giveaways no longer exist. At-least for me, I would like to be as honest as possible and i really felt bad putting this rule.

    You serious guys? Why here on the most friendliest forum at universe?
    Not because I have that much to give myself but. I mean why follow the same principal as e.g raymond.cc does. Like everyone knows, in the end it gives Avinashtech & this forum the publicity anyway so the credit will be yours even the idea was from one of your members.
    If that's your opinion, well that's up to you to decide. Excuse me then, sorry

    Hi Avinash, I'm so sorry if I wrote something stupid, hope you feel better now
    No harm done with me, everything is cool

    It was only the suggestion with 500posts & 6months that I'm afraid could be seen as a bit to much for some members but with me it's ok. Nice to see it's changed now
    Cheers

    I am fine mate. Cheers. Sometimes its tough to manage forum and hence few rules come into place. No "Sorry" needed between friends.

    But all rules on this forum can be amended or even deleted if required. Its not a big deal.

    And as you said before, we will always be "the most friendliest forum at universe"

    Right now, I am still in a mood to trust every member of forum. So until someone kicks me with Giveaways with Pirated key, I am not going to ask for verification. Its for the members holding giveaways to make sure the keys are genuine. If someone is not sure PM me or any other MOD.

    I think this is a terrible idea to stop all personal giveaways just because someone decided to delete their giveaways today. Everyone else here at the forum should not be penalized for 1 persons actions but that is not my decision . Sure hope your doing the right thing AVI as giveaways help keep an active forum and is a great way to help other members.

    That's why I said, Its not closed totally.

    just the member need to ask me. It really bad when someone ends it abruptly. I am open to amending this rule to any extent.

    Tricky situation..... but after reading the reason i think its fair enough as long as people can ask for the holding giveaways ....

    It has been an embarrassing situation today.

    All those members hoping to win licenses would be dissapointed. This rule was brought in place to avoid such situations.

    Like Avi said, it can be amended. We just need some opinions first.
