So I just woke up and found that I am banned for 30 days for running on-forum giveaway/incentivising to post. However, I just created thread in 'Games and Round' section paying people 200 DOGE each to join and try my new site. There was no obligation to post in any other thread.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

Your thread was requiring users to post an insubstantial post in an altcoin giveaway thread.

Your thread was in the incorrect sub because it was not bitcoin related.
