Why do so many people assume that rules apply to other people, and not to them?
I'm not sure that's the case with OP, who probably didn't read the rule about participating in giveaways to begin with. In fact I seriously doubt most newbies read the rules until after they've gotten caught breaking them--and even then they probably don't bother to do so.It's fortunate for OP and others that the penalty for doing what he did is a temporary ban and not a permanent one, and having to sit on the sidelines on a forum for two weeks shouldn't be that difficult. The only reason it's probably a big deal for members is that it keeps them from shitposting for whatever bounty they're participating in. I'd like to offer some sympathy here, but I couldn't do it with a straight face.
