Y'all...so like. There has been a decent amount of players being scammed or banned (by players getting ranks and the person who buys it chargebacks) by giveaways...:cautious:

I just want to give some tips whenever thinking of entering giveaways (I myself follow these tips as well)

Tips:
1
. Enter if the person has made multiple giveaways (or even a few) and received positive feedback (as in thank you's for getting me a rank, tt, etc. 'and the person actually receives it')
2. Enter if the person has been apart of the community for a long time..(preferably 3+ months)
3. Enter if the player is pretty well known and trustworthy
4. Enter if the player themselves is the one buying the items for the giveaway
5. Enter if you know they have bought lots of things from the community for themselves or for other players. (ex. in my info i provide proof of everything I bought)
6. Enter if the player has a rank (preferably higher or equal to) on their own account. (If not, then this is most likely a scam)

None of this applies if the server/community owner(s) is the one holding the giveaway. They are over the program so they are more than capable with creating a giveaway and following through with it.

And still like, you can choose to enter a giveaway on your own volition. I don't, can't, and will not tell you what you can do, (but I still state my opinions out of love and concern for you). If you want to enter, then by all means go ahead. But, I'm only saying these because I like, care for y'all and I'd hate for y'all to get hurt by being scammed or banned from false chargeback. :shy:


And yes I enter giveaways as well (not only on forums), but I still follow these guidelines myself. I would never tell anyone anything I wouldn't do myself. That's just...cruel...

But yes...I hope y'all really consider this and like..If you have any comments, ideas, etc. on the matter then please feel free to type them out..but please don't come on here starting drama or targeting people. :p

!!Extra information!!

Chargeback -
a chargeback is when a player buys an item from the server/community store and then returns/refunds/reimburses their money, and still keeps the item they bought. This is considered stealing and will cause you to endure severe consequences!!

(Example: I buy a gold rank from the BrokenLens store, I receive the rank and then refund my money, but I still keep my rank and the perks that come with it. This is chargeback and since I did this I am perm-banned from the server/community.)

I'll update this once I get some more info (doing research on all old giveaways)

You are right

If that player doesn't have a rank then you just got scammed

The reason I put higher or equal to is because of you see a player with a gold rank saying they're gonna hand out emerald ranks to people, that's just sketchy in general. I'm not against the idea, but if you don't bother buying yourself an emerald rank and you "have the funds" to buy it then I'm gonna automatically get a negative opinion on the matter. And hey, some people might actually do and want to be generous, but still, a gold ranked player offering a diamond or emerald...o_O
