ANOTHER REMINDER AS A BUNCH OF YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT CARE ABOUT HAVING A NICER FORUM WITH LESS LEECHES, SCAMMERS, TROLLS AND SCUMFUCKS - SINCE WE POSTED THIS, QUITE A FEW OF YOU HAVE NOW BEEN TEMPORARILY EXCLUDED FROM TBBBBOB - AND ONE OR TWO HAVE BEEN HIT WITH FURTHER MEASURES: Until December, there will be no weekly BBBBOB giveaway. This is for several reasons...
For one, we are attempting some changes / maintenence to the administration side of things, but we could also do with a break.
Aside from being time consuming, the giveaways and all of the can be quite draining when combined with all of the additional work that goes into this particular format.
We have also noted an amount of entrants either utterly unaware of the new additional rule:
[insert rule #7]
...or perhaps purposely ignoring it in the hope we dont notice.
During this "downtime" that rule will remain in effect, so please take this time to carefully consider it and what it means.
We have also noted an increasing number of you, who have not had a balanced approach to their time on the forums regarding rule #3
[insert rule #3]
...rather than exclude so many, we ask that you take the next four weeks to attend to that, and perhaps search your own username to see how your posting may appear.
That said... we WILL be doing some "flash" giveaways in the next few weeks - including a few different formats we have been eager to try out for some fun - and a little less "admin work" as even foxworks is starting to gonk at the thought of spreadsheets. O____o~
* * * * * A REMINDER OF THE TBBBBOB RULES, SOME OF WHICH WILL STILL AFFECT YOU DURING THIS "DOWNTIME"...
* * * * * 1:You may enter for one game per platform only.
Please list them clearly - along with the platform - like this;
WANT: your top choice (platform 1)
INTERESTED IN: your second choice (platform 2)
WOULD ALSO LIKE: anything else you may have your eye on (platform 3)
Entries not clearly reflecting this format will be ignored!
We realize this may not seem beneficial to those of you who only use GOG, but it may raise your chances of winning a GOG overall, and should also help prevent the magic gifting sack of codery from bulging too heavily.
2: One entrant, one prize.
3: NO rep limits, but a month’s activity on the general forum should be visible when using the forum search function with a user's name. If all we see is a few posts in the last few months / years or someone only entering giveaways and not attempting wider participation in the community, that person will not be entered into the giveaway.
Should you have legitimate concerns about your eligibility, please PM either foxworks or myself.
Extreme cases will be banned.
4: ALL entries are for yourselves only. NO trading. NO entering for another. NO regifting.
5: NO CODE DROPS IN THIS THREAD PLEASE! - IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD AND REMEMBER YOU WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM TBBBBOB!
6: No one with punctuation/symbol (such as * . _ ) as a component of their forum name will be allowed to enter due to its use by a minority to circumvent forum search / offsite search of forum activity. This stands in line with and reinforces rule #3. Contact GOG support to update your username.
7: No participation in open code dumping and/or grabbing in ninja or similar threads. Please read
THIS for more info regarding this rule.
