thanks, I was afraid I might get banned for posting a link that had nothing to do with phishing or advertising groups...

It really depends, some people may report it as spam on their trades. So just be careful with where you post it.

We have many many bans to take care of, you just have to wait.

Is there any steam rule against having an alt? I will not risk my main account in any way if there is even the slightest chance it's against some steam policy. Thanks for the replies so far btw.

I don't work for steam, so I wouldn't know. I wouldn't think so, because things like family accounts or accounts using a similar internet connection (e.g School Wifi) could come up as alts.

Having an alternate account is allowed, but you cannot use it or create one to avoid a ban on your main account. That would result in a permanent ban of all your accounts.

well i think thats a stupid rule. the only thing i seem to get out of bein in this group is to jump into giveaways. if i cant do that whats gonna encourage me to stay

That's how it is. Whenever we have giveaways, it's very difficult to keep people from spamming. We have to close the chat several times to warn people that ifn they are to spam again they will be banned from chat. That is the only reason peolpe are banned from chat, and that's what you did. I don't see why you should be unbanned when you contribute the problems of giveaways and why we don't have them as often.

No.

i didnt do anything. i never abused or spammed a group chat. the only thing i ever did was ask a few times if a giveaway started when i came into chat a little late. apaprently thats considered spamming.

We don't ban people from the chat unless they deserve a ban. If you were banned, then you did something that warranted a ban.

so you're saying now i cant participate anymore giveaways ever

You were banned for something you did in the chat, so no.

You most likely abused or spammed in the group chat during one of our giveaways. Nearly all bans were done by Sneeza and will not be undone.
