Is the 2nd post still the current list or has it migrated to a spreadsheet or something somewhere?

2nd post is current list

Thanks.

I also have confirmation that a key I granted to 54l2V was redeemed by SamWeisse. This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The following users are permanently banned from both giveaways, effective immediately: marsattakx, Samweisse and 54l2V. Going forward, I request that every donor check to make sure that every key they donated was redeemed by the account that requested it.
Yes, that's still it.

Thanks for the report. It seems that the benefit of doubt is getting thinner and thinner for this case. But finkleroy should have the last word in this thread, in any case.

Meanwhile, do you think Sam is earning a special mention in the known scammers list?

EDIT: Ninjaed by finkleroy. The verdict has been set.

The donors could also ask GOG support to refund the gifted game and remove it from the culprit's account

I already more or less do this already(short of regulars I know well here, whom I know I can trust & don't need to check on re: codes gifted to them) for codes I gift here.....but thanks for the head's up/advice.

Tbh if they were more upfront about such beforehand(i.e. redeeming games gotten via other threads[such as my own giveaways] using another account) I might not mind as much, but double/triple dipping in fink's threads....that's a no no/no go for me.

Probably.

That said, I might still allow them to join my own giveaways(I allow nearly everyone usually), albeit with the caveat that they and others planning on redeeming a game I give them to another account must tell me(via the contests I run or PM) before accepting the game.

As well as going forward, it might be worth all donors over the past month double checking for any mismatch between requested vs redeemed accounts, just in case there's a 4th, 5th and 6th "sock-puppet" feeding into the same GOG account mentioned above...

Is it possible to have the ban list made public? I understand that not all of the users on said list are scammers. Some might have been rude to past and present giveaway hosts and/or other users. However, knowing which users are scammers could be useful.

Most(if not all) known scammers are listed in the thread linked in post 8392, afaik.

Sending my best regards and big thanks to finkleroy and Doc0075 (again!) for making it happen for me to have Demonicon while i had no chance to buy it in nearest future. You made my day, guys!

Thanks, but the mach 2 thread links to a wiki page that doesn't load for me (on the phone, at least. Haven't tested on PC's browser yet). The original thread seems a tad out of date.

I added the list to the third post of this thread and the second post of the Non-GOG thread.

Thanks!

We will either have to assign Doc a team of research assistants, or he's going to have to start hiring and charging that to his donations budget. He will henceforth not only be keeping GOG afloat, but significantly lowering the unemployment rate.


I've gifted only three in the last year, so it wasn't that hard to check usernames (thanks to adalia's search bar) and all match request/claimed accounts. FWIW.
