Personal Giveaways at Forum- A Small clarification

[Corno]

Avi and I have never asked anyone about the genuineness of licenses.

But I agree about new rules like

1. No cancellation of giveaways
2. Ensure that the licenses are not already used on any other computer. In case the license can be transferred without problems, then its fine



Well, these rules are not punishments, but merely precautions.

Seems a wise decision. If it does not work this way you can always tighten the rules. IMO it would be good idea if the person who gives away the license(s) makes clear how the draw will be conducted. Will he use random.org, or just give them away to whomever he likes? Also, 500 posts may be a bit much, but a minimum of, say, 10 or 30 posts would keep quite a few spammers out. On Raymon.cc I have seen newbies with just one (1) post dealing out license keys that were definitely phishy.
