On-forum altcoin giveaways aren't allowed on any board. Games and Rounds allows thousands of posts in a thread for a very small amount of Bitcoin, but it has to be Bitcoin.

The number of victims/mistakes proves that, this is a confusing rule. Just trash such kind of topics so that general users do not get affected.

I agree, and I think a modification of that specific rule is needed to prevent further more confusion. even I thought, joining an alt-coin give away on games and round is allowed.

Let’s hope he sees sense & unbans us then.

Feel bad for you brother. I hope everyone gets unbanned and I am pretty sure whoever had this rule in mind they did not make the post. Every single one was unaware about it so they responded in whatever the thread was.

Well honestly speaking there are indeed nothing else to do while you have self quarantined yourself. This forum is a very good platform to spend hours after hours just by making posts in WO or in other sections.

This is a mess. I see a lot of good users are ban because of this. I was in the same position few months ago but difference was that I was not participating but made a post for some other reason however I was banned too. Later mprep unbanned me.

Regarding the rules, I think this rule should not be applied such a way. I see a lot of users were talking about trashing it when such thread appears and this is the right thing to do imho. I am lucky that I did not see the topic at all or I would join since it's was from bitcasino. With bitcasino.io and sportsbet.io I have good relation and I never miss anything that come from them.

Point is I would do the same mistake even after I was banned not very long ago. This rule just do not click in the mind. Also it's very hard to identify which is a giveaway, at-least for me.

Man - this feels like some "underground" activities going on, lol. Cheesy

Just received msg that user "JSRAW" has also been banned and he d of course also like his ban to be "reconsidered". Wink

Can somebody else PM mprep & direct him to this thread.

I can’t send any more PM’s on this shitty alt. Mention as many of us as possible who were banned.

I have just invited him here.

imo, the rule should be changed or overwritten. As you said, it was on Games and Round, it's not your fault. A moderator should check the previous history of that thread if possible before going such mass ban.
It would be better if the appeal is accepted and unban everyone.

I should be able to PM mprep now. I’ll speak on behalf of those affected in this thread.

It seems like a very strange move on your sig campaign's part to ask members to do something like this. Was it a polite request or was there some implied pressure? I'd refuse to do it simply because I don't want my unread replies bit polluted.

Maybe just trashing the threads is enough in these situations, but contact mprep about it as he's the mod of the alt board and often the one who issues bans for giveaways.

My main account khaled0111 has been temp banned too for the same reason.
What I can't understand is that the giveawy thread was in the Games and Rounds sub-section and I don't see how replying there could be against forum rules.

Maybe it can be appealed on these grounds if so.

Lets be serious guys, banning people for making a post in a giveaway-thread (giveaway coming from an established operator doing countless promos exclusively for btctalk members)?! Cant be justified no matter what... Guess its just me and my Greek nature of mind...

Months ago, a big guy in Bitsler or Sportsbet.io's campaign was banned for nearly the same rule-breaking post in a thread that run a altcoin-giveaway. That user was banned immediately when the thread he joined was deleted by moderator. All users joined that thread were banned too (7 or 14 days, not sure and I tried to remember who is the case). I will let you know if I find him.

I think you are referring to BitcoinGirl.Club or previously known as Pamoldar.

But I do agree, established members are affected.

Here is a post from Theymos,

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.

This is really messed up. A suspension is never justified for participating in some giveaway, even if it's posted in the incorrect section.

Hope your main gets unbanned ASAP.

Farewell, Leo. You will be missed!

Unfortunately the reason for the temporary bans is the participation in an altcoin giveaway. They are not allowed ANYWHERE on the forum according to theymos. Had it been a Bitcoin giveaway, it would have been allowed in Games and Rounds. There is no mention about Bitcoin giveaways not being allowed.
It's sad that so many good members got affected. At least it made me go over the rules one more time and remember never to participate in one in the future.
