If you do that outside of this specific thread you get banned. The restriction is there for community thread giveaways, so people who aren't in a community can't swoop in and win something only meant for someone's friends.

That makes sense, I didn't consider the community thread giveaways. Still don't understand why someone would put that restriction on a giveaway in this thread though.

Post restrictions is such a weird requirement in this thread. I can see it being a thing in the OTs but here... C'mon man.

Yeah I find the lurker restriction a little odd. It's basically just "hey you need to post some spam comments a few times in this thread to join this giveaway even if you've been a member for 3 years!" restriction. There's not a whole lot to post about in a thread specifically about giveaways lol.
I assume the people who choose it THINK they are preventing people with 0 posts at all from joining, because yeah, it makes no sense for this thread otherwise.

Oh please Persona.

I know I don't deserve this, specially after winning a Dragon Quest XI Switch Giveaway with over 350 people around Christmas (f'n insane), but this would make my girlfriend very happy. Luck be on my side. 🤞🤞

Stupid question, I have a bunch of "unused" keys. The reason for the " " is that I'm unsure. They are from older Humble Bundle and some may or may not be used. The list is outdated. Could I make a giveaway under the assumption that someone may get a key that does not work? Or is there a way to check to see if they work or not still. In both Steam and Origin?

AFAIK you can't check Steam keys. So long as they're being given in food faith and you explain in the giveaway you aren't certain they're valid, I think it's fine.

If you are considered a lurker then, yes, 5 is the number of posts needed
Then shalt thou count to five, no more, no less. Five shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be five. Six shalt thou not count, neither count thou four, excepting that thou then proceed to five. Seven is right out.
Amen. And thanks :D

How many posts to become Prominent Member? :v
