xckx: First off, thanks for everyone's support in my decision to stop posting games in this thread. Now then, I want to say that my post of frustration was uncalled for and I apologize for the language I used in it. My frustration ultimately stemmed from getting PM's and replies from almost every game I gave away that this person is scammer, that person is an alt of scammer, don't give them games, etc. But I want to be very clear that the frustration is not towards those that do leave PM's and replies letting me know. I am glad you guys do and thank you. The frustration is that the games
are going to these scammers and the problem is I don't have the time to background check everytime I give away a game.
When I created this thread I just dropped open codes without any knowledge of these forums and the problems it had. Over time I got request after request via PM and in the thread itself to stop posting codes openly in the forum so I made a rule that you have to reply to the post. Then I got request after request to add rep requirement because people were just creating multiple new accounts, so I added the requirement. Then I raised the requirement recently from 10 to 100. I gave a code to 600+ rep user and I get message that he is a scammer. I was like "WTF I don't even know how they got to 600 rep if he was a scammer" though now I have been given the details on that.
I possibly will post games again in the future, but for now I will give all my codes, as I have done with the unused codes in the past, to Genkicolleen who donates them to the BBBBoB. I sent her approximately 400 codes yesterday to be donated to the BBBBoB and any other giveaway of her choice so I am sure they will find a good home.
I enjoyed giving games away but when 90+% of them go to scammers/alts it becomes less joyful. If you don't enjoy something anymore, why keep doing it?
I guess will leave it at that but I do want to thank everyone that has contributed in this thread in the past and in the future if you guys want to keep it going, as you have done in my absences, and I will try to be more active in the forums outside of this thread in the future also.
Thanks everyone. :)
Thank you very much for the gift. I greatly appreciate it :D
apehater 03:57 hey bud, I don't know who you are or your affiliation with nes but thought I'd pass this along Here's a high rep scammer. genkicolleen. Since xckx stopped giving away games because of all the drama. he said in his thread he sent 400 codes to her. she claimed at least 50 of those giveaway codes for herself on steam and probably some on gog. and she is doing 40 giveaways for some of the games on steamgifts to build up fake rep acting like those are her giveaways trying t get into exclusive groups and whitelists with somebody elses purchases. she only gives away games that other people give her or that developers give her because she acts all nice and friendly and happy to get the free games. she may not be scamming anyone but she is NOT generous like people think she is since all her gifts are regifts.
apehater 04:03 also, she puts up bogus trade offers in the trading thread hoping one or more of her "sugar daddies" gifts her the game she wants to trade for so she can keep her stash of regifted games to use again later. but because she is a girl, with an adorable icon and troubled family history (or so she claims) and talks like betty boop with the excitement and giddiness, the white knights of the forum want to ride in and give her whatever she asks for.
