My 1st giveaway turns into disaster

"We would like to take this opportunity to remind you, our dear users, that selling invites, trading invites, and giving invites away to random strangers is not tolerated, and any users found doing so will have their invites revoked, along with their entire invite trees. This is for the good of the entire community."

That it quoted from the news posting today (1/15). Maybe it was a bit harsh to start coming down on giveaway people without a little warning?

I'm just interested in the site gaining more productive peers to help make the site better :) I think they are making some good decisions about the expansion and the rules of the tracker. Too bad with all of the strict sites, there is some unneeded casualties along the way.

Really sorry to hear about your account... what sucks even more is that the good guys get screwed the hardest. :(

To both of you, they've had it in their rules since the invite system were enabled. It's not hard clicking the rules page and read you know.

If you don't believe me check out squirr3l's thread here at FST about getting banned on what.

hmmm seems fishy, did u ever find out why u were disabled?? I would love to know because it doesnt seem like what.cd would ban people over a giveaway unless it was an undercover admin here at FST. An admin from what.cd not an admin here.

Let us know

I guess you live and learn the hard way, but that will be the last time I do that again.

Harsh...You can see why though I hope.
Time to remove the what-hugger from ur sig then eh. :naughty:

all the rule says is you will have your invites revoked, not that you will get disabled for doing it.

so it may have been something else on top of giving away the invite, but im not a member over there so can only speculate.

next time be carefull in choosing who your giving an invite..good luck in getting back your account..

sorry man :( next time be careful..

Were you asking me? :unsure: I am just a regular user at the site. My guess, is there any chance they will have leniency and give any account back? Probably not, theres no incentive for them to do so, they are already filled back up with eager new members.
