K so, you have deemed a giveaway is gambling?

No, I have not. I actually said you might be correct with your assumption that the thread was moved incorrectly. Typically giveaways belong in the games and rounds section though. Certain types of giveaways are banned entirely. Additionally I remember you saying its a contest. If you indeed think its a giveaway it was moved to the correct section after all. The reason for the giveaway does not matter.
I will remove it from this site. I don't want to promote gambling through enjoybitcoins.com I strongly think it should be reconsidered as a giveawy thread in general. I tried to discuss it, and I get no discussion, i get responses trying to prove me wrong, but realistically justifying that this is not gambling, yet saying it should stay there. Makes no sense. I am calm, a little dissapointed i have to argue, disagree and press to give away free bitcoins i can barely afford for a contest. It's really discouraging when someone puts a promotion like this together and you throw it in the bin of gambling which it is not. Have a great afternoon, once again, this place is full of pnzi schemes, people getting robbed, and I cannot simply post a free contest that appeals to everyone. Makes no sense, quit putting up barriers for absultely no reason, or make sure they are focused on something that matters. "Mods are people to" So am i, giving away real money, for free. And I wake up to being tossed in the gambling section for no reason. It doesn't make sense that every giveaway or contest is gambling now does it? Why are you trying to justify it when this is something that should be changed
I am trying to give you perspective. Your wording does not sound calm. Your thread was moved and again it might have been an mistake. The rules the mods apply are not set in stone.

Wow, call me crazy, but within a minute there is two entries... And you are telling me this doesn't appeal to the general thread, yet it applies more to gambling? I beg to differ. You can clearly see this is not gambling, so quit trying to refer to it as gambling, it is not.

I think newIndia was refering to the spam issue. Blatantly ignoring a mods decision just because you disagree with it is not helping your cause. In my experience it will rule out a discussion for them as you will only accept a single answer anyway.
Fair enough. I am not looking for one answer, more so seeking a rational explanation of why a giveaway / contest (it is a bit of both, everyone is open to get 500 bits, winners get more) is considered gambling when it is a contest a 10 year old could play. This really limits its availability to everyone it applies to, and it really doesn't seem to be the correct spot, yet nobody will acknowledge this large difference between a giveaway/contest and gambling... two very different things....
I apologize for coming off confrontational in response to attempting a giveaway that has been hidden in the depths of bitcointalk. This is not the point of the giveaway, it is supposed to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. I just seem to get flaq for running bitcoin promotions, while navigating through the copious amount of scams, scam artists addresses, clear cut ponzi schemes, that seem to go un touched. It doesn't really make sense, and it kind of discourages people from wanting to give away coins in the future.
