The following applies to all members entering a MalwareTips Exclusive Giveaway no matter what your user title is,including Trusted Members!
The rules for entering a MalwareTips giveaway are very clear if you read them.Once again one rule in particular is not being followed! Not only by new members but by some well established members alike.So to make it crystal clear for the last time I will reiterate the rule for all members.
NO member is allowed to enter a MalwareTips Exclusive Giveaway from a proxy,proxy server,VPN,etc.
From now on the following will be strictly adhered to in any MT Exclusive Giveaway:
- If you enter an MT Exclusive giveaway from any type of proxy your entry will be deleted and you will not be given another opportunity to enter.
- If you have entered any other current giveaways these entries will be deleted also.
- You will be permanently reply banned from all current and upcoming giveaways that are on the forum boards.
- Your Username will be added to a permanent banned list for all future Mt exclusive giveaways.That is a lifetime ban for those who might have thought about asking.
- There will be no excuses accepted and we will not deviate from this rule no matter where you are on the user title ladder.
- That means Do not send a PM to any staff member pleading your case.If you cannot comply our decision is final and no PM will be answered on this topic.
- If your entry is deleted you will be sent a reason why on soft delete and that decision is final!
We understand that many members use a proxy/VPN for privacy reasons and are not trying to cheat or scam giveaways.However we have no way to differentiate between the two so the rule must apply to all.
The rule must be in place to prevent those who are trying to cheat the system and hence cheat those other members who comply by the rules in every giveaway.
MalwareTips does not share,sell,trade,forward or give away any members personal information so there is no reason not to comply with this one simple rule.Even more so now that the site is HTTPS!
Once again NO Excuses! This includes "I forgot to turn off my VPN"
We are working on a way to easily track and prevent permanently banned giveaway members from even having access to the giveaway forum once banned.
It is unfortunate that we have to beat this issue to death but apparently some just don't bother to read or just don't care what the rules state.
