These users where banned because the airdrop was originally posted on the Bitcoin boards, and then moved to the Altcoin section, where users got banned because it was an altcoin airdrop. Nevertheless, most of those users got their bans lifted because of the confusion it generated.
It wasn't the only story till there.
It was initially a Bitcoin airdrop which is why it was in Games and Rounds section and they were incentivizing just to post in their thread (which meant that they wanted to remain on top by getting too many bumps due to users posting their usernames), but later they started doing altcoin giveaways in that area which was not allowed, as well as, even after moving it, asking for your username alone and giving no tasks to you increases the risk of getting the thread moved to trash and your" account getting banned.
* = Here, your was meant for everyone, including the participants.
As my account has been temp-banned because of participating in a giveaway thread, I became a little bit too sensitive to this subject. I read the rules multiple times and I can say this topic doesn't violate them.
The member who created the topic didn't ask participants to reply to his thread. He is conducting the giveaway off-site.
Does this mean that everyone who has participated in an airdrop will get temp or perma ban? Or airdrops or allowed in specific board? I am always confused with that discussion.
I think airdrops are allowed:
For BTC alone in games and rounds, and that too if certain tasks are needed to get that airdrop.
