I made this thread about your giveaway and the second week that never happened. For the ambiguous "10 messages" requirement, no one interpreted it this way:

No, I meant the ones who didn't make 10 posts won't be counted as a participants.

However, I suppose there could be potential translation errors. Is there/was there a Russian text that translated to the earlier 10 messages requirement that a Russian + English speaking user could confirm means the meaning you claim?

Do you have any plans on resolving this, such as grabbing all valid remaining entries after the first week and doing the below? Or are you going to ignore the giveaway like you did until the negative trust became an issue?

The requirements were somewhat ambiguous. I am not sure I would support a negative rating, though I agree this could potentially be interpreted as shady behavior. I would make this suggestion for a solution. The terms should first be clarified, then the people who participated but did not meet the post requirement should have their stakes rolled over to the next drawing after meeting the new clarified requirements (assuming the program is still active). This IMO is an equitable solution for all parties and is mutually restorative for all.

I will focus more on details and describing the requirements of the next giveaway. So there won't be issues like this one. We started our giveaway with good intentions. I am sorry if you got frustrated. All valid entries will be considered when we start next one. On my part I would like to ask you to pay more attention and don't be afraid to give me a shout if you have a hard time understanding the rules. Cheers!
