I did not have any clue but it was just an innocent attempt to join that giveaway. I have seen a lot of users made the same mistake. Most of then either did not have the rule in mind or did not know the rule. In these kind of cases can't we just delete the topic and send a temp ban to the topic creator?
I was well aware of the rule, but I just never knew the thread falls within the same category (with the altcoin giveaway rules), which is the same thing other participants claimed, and I'm sure the topic creator probably isn't any different, I strongly doubt that the creator made the post in Games and Round just to potentially evade the rules, If the creator is to be banned, then so should the participants (maybe for a lesser period as it currently), but they (participants) shouldn't be spared.
