Thread: iGivers are allowed for non-tracker giveaways

After some thoughtful discussion between the staff we have decided there is a rule here that could use revising. There is no reason misc giveaways(non-tracker giveaways) should not be worth an igiver. At some of them invites are just as scarce. At some places you will need to fulfill various requirements to get invites. We already allow igivers for bonus giveaways and some trackers give you tons of that. Igivers are not the same as rep and they do not count towards promotions. More leniency in the rules on it was needed.

The main goals are to simplify the igiver system and encourage other types of giveaways by giving some incentive to post them. If there are any future revisions to the rules you will get an update on it. Diversifying what type of threads we see here will add more character to our forum. To sum up - non-tracker giveaways can receive igivers. We want to give our members more freedom.

I received a request for a Google Music invite, and wasn't sure of whether I should be receiving an iGiver for it because Vegas commented in your MegaUpload GA thread, that iGivers are now allowed for Misc Giveaways, but there wasn't any official announcement of the same.

I was about to go to the IRC help channel for this at the exact same time of this post, but I don't need to go now.

Thanks.

but still there is a confusion about which non-tracker sites are allowed for giveaways and which are not .. can you make a list of these non-tracker sites ?

My own personal belief is most non-tracker sites should be allowed to receive one igiver max per invite. Exceptions to that rule, if there are any exceptions, would be considered by staff.

As for a list, I can work on one but if you want it to be thorough I'll have to do some research first. Got to find out what's out there.

It's not a bad idea...maybe you could somehow separate them and igivers to be given only for tracker invites. As for other GAs it would nice to be rewarded in an other way....just a thought

The decision was to allow igivers for non-tracker giveaways.

Good rule change. And to make it clear that the given iGiver is for a non-tracker invite, maybe it would be a good idea to edit to Igiver form to promote the following format (shown by example):

Non-tracker invite (Spotify)?

And then have the iGivers left for tracker invites say: "Tracker invite (GFT)", instead of just "Invite (GFT)"

Edit :
Point Noted, Thank you

Nice way to get Igivers as I consider those sites as good as trackers and they have a lot of things that might not be available on trackers but that's less likely OR that's just a way for you to get more Igivers videogames
