Unfortunately, none of anything else you posted is against any kind of other rule. Again, I don't find this kind of behavior especially good for the forum, and I probably would not trust those who engage in this kind of behavior. If the post quality is low enough then maybe they will get banned for insubstantial posts + paid sig
it shouldn't be allowed for multiple users to scam a giveaway.the giveaways should atleast leave negative trust because they were scammed for extra money in this case. the example of Eal should not mean that all people who claim giveaways should not be given red trust.if the staff just isn't interested in a ring of spammers like these i guess i will just go ahead and lock the thread.
