- 4:54 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Hello. I saw you entered the Prey giveaway, but you don't meet the comment requirement. Can you please remove your entry to prevent a reroll being necessary?
- 4:54 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: i dont?
- 4:55 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: No, you need a comment to entry ratio of 2.5:1 in addition to the gifts given. Sorry.
- 4:55 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: To Enter, You MUST have at least $100 given away in games that are not from the games considered exploited AND Must have a comment to giveaway entry ratio of at least 2.5:1
- 4:55 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: that is not whats written there
- 4:56 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: "Must have a comment to giveaway entry ratio of at least 2.5:1" This means you would need 2218 comments.
- 4:58 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: the rule is insane
- 4:59 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Maybe, maybe not, but it was approved by lokonopa, so it's valid.
- 4:59 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: i dont see where loko said that
- 4:59 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: except for lokonopa (Head Mod) (1 hour ago)
- Thanks for the Prey! I saw your forum post. :P I hope I meet the criteria. D:
- 5:00 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: If he didn't approve, he'd have said so there.
- 5:00 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: he never said he approved nor disapproved
- 5:01 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Double checking right now, but frankly, even if he didn't, it's a sign of respect to the giveaway maker to read and follow their rules.
- 5:03 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so even if loko disapproves it i still would have to leave it?
- 5:04 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: You wouldn't HAVE to, but it would be a sign of respect to them.
- 5:04 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: what about the others that entered the raffle and do not meet the requirments?
- 5:05 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: I'm dealing with them as well. Just going through them one by one.
- 5:06 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Honestly, I'd be pretty sure the giveaway maker would let some enter anyway, if they're just on the border or have gifted a LOT. But most of these are leechers.
- 5:09 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: 15:00 - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: loko, you approved of that Prey giveaway's rules, right?
- 15:08 - lokonopa: Yeah, I even commented and entered the giveaway.
- 5:09 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: all right, i left the raffle
- 5:09 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: i will see how you will deal with the others
- 5:10 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: TreadLife and one other I'm leaving alone as one's about to cross the threshold for $100 and the other's give over $1200, so he may be allowed an exception.
- 5:10 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so exceptions can be made for strict rules
- 5:10 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: thats balls dont you agree?
- 5:12 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Well, it's up to the giveaway maker. I'm just trying to help out a little. If you think you might make an exception, by all means, stick around and ask for permission.
- 5:12 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Sorry, I derped. I meant to mention that a lot earlier.
- 5:12 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: your "help" is not helping
- 5:13 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: It saves having to reroll five separate times.
- 5:13 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: So I'd say it does.
- 5:14 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: dont you think that if 1 person gets to enter as an exception, everyone would ask for that?
- 5:14 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: also
- 5:14 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: So you're implying that 500 value given is worth lesser than someone who doesn't have 100? since he can easily spam a few hundred comments in older giveaways to get the ratio?
- 5:15 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: No. No, I really don't. If someone who has a comment ratio of 2.48:1 and $200 given is allowed, that doesn't mean someone with a comment ratio of 0.32:1 will be allowed.
- 5:15 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: while older members like myself are criticized because we actually try to thank each giveaway, while we give games
- 5:16 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: and can you be 100% sure the $90 isn't from exploited games like bundle keys?
- 5:17 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Just because you thank on a giveaway doesn't mean you're active. There's a reason I picked the people I did for my giveaway group. They're the community people. And no, I can't, but then, neither can anyone but the admins if they're private or groups that I'm not in. So it's up to trust.
- 5:18 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so i am not being active by being active?
- 5:20 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: A requirement like that means it's not only for gifters but those who are active in the community a lot.
- 5:23 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so comments determine activity?
- 5:23 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: not raffles?
- 5:23 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: They're a good sign of activity, yes.
- 5:24 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: traders on steamtrade also get comment counts for steamgifts.
- 5:24 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: and it's a spamfest there.
- 5:25 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: maybe i should start spamming 10 comments on my own private giveaways then?
- 5:25 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Sure, whatever, I don't care. Do what you like. I don't care any more.
- 5:26 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so that's being a community leader? by contradicting yourself and not caring when you lose the argument?
- 5:27 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: your group is just the same as every other group i guess, just full of elitism and egoistic bullshit. don't mix that with community.
- 5:28 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: No, it's that I have plenty of other stuff to deal with right now and, frankly, you're doing everything you can to whine. You think you might be an exception? Fine. Ask the giveaway maker. If not, just be aware that these rules are authorised and you'll be rerolled if you happen to win.
- 5:28 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Okay, hold on a second
- 5:28 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: http://puu.sh/triK THAT is why I invited the people I did. Because they are stupidly fucking actve.
- 5:30 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: I've invited people that don't even have a single giveaway done and hell, very few comments on site, because they are ACTIVE. They talk to people, have a lot to contribute to the community.
- 5:30 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so that's why you're not bothered by the 2.5 ratio rule. you guys just spam group giveaways
- 5:31 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: I don't even give a damn about a giveaway i entered. i enter them because i can. what i care more is about your elitist bullshit you're spewing and how you claim it's community.
- 5:33 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: You're a retard. Not a single comment was spam in that entire thread. We were introducing ourselves to the group, telling them about ourselves, and they reacted. If that's elitist to you, then maybe it's because you're the sort of person we wouldn't want in our group anyway, because of your personality. If you want to spam, go right ahead. But your attitude today has been pathetic. If you don't agree with a giveaway maker's rules, then maybe you should just not enter.
- 5:34 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: so thats why you guys have a chatroom, right?
- 5:36 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: i found you elitist the moment you added me to tell me to remove my entry for a giveaway that doesn't even belong to you.
- 5:36 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: What part of "Steamgifts Staff" didn't you catch the memo for? What part of "trying to avoid loko having to reroll seventeen seperate times because you're too incompetent to read" didn't you understand?
- 5:37 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: that's the job of the staff right?
- 5:37 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: that doesn't sound like a problem of mine
- 5:38 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: besides this isn't steamgifts, this is steam chat. your staff status doesn't matter outside steamgifts.
- 5:38 PM - [S.Gifts] thejadefalcon: Just because it's the job of the staff doesn't mean you're not an arse if you make that job harder, especially since the Sgifts staff are volunteers.
- 5:39 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: loko once said before, what happens outside steamgifts remains outside. only what happens inside counts
- 5:39 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: you volunteered, still not my problem there right?
- 5:40 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: oh
- 5:41 PM - UNCLE™Whazze: and before i remove you, you just talked to lambdadelta, peace out
