I have a copy sitting in my library, which would be a guaranteed giveaway from me, and I can't do anything with it because i get the "can no longer be given away. try again in a few days" message when I try to create a GA. I don't have any idea where else it might have been given away, and it doesn't show up on reddit's r/freegamefindings, but it's banned here.Originally posted by: lewriczin said:

I couldn't figure out how to view my own profile as there doesn't seem to be any option to view or edit your profile anywhere (maybe I couldn't find it) but I clicked my name over my giveaway to see my profile page and saw that I have 0 XP. Also, it seems I didn't recieve any feedback from that giveaway and even though I created a trade a few days ago, it shows trades created as 0.
Is this a bug or will it get updated over time?
Whats your point exactly? The game I gave away is not in beta and it isn't a free game. (It was given away some time ago but unless you got it before then you have to buy it now and same can be said about too many games to count.) So I believe it doesn't apply here.Originally posted by: Cruseng said:@ jamesmaxwell1453 read this thread. Make sure you read and understand.

Thats what I was saying, it wasn't a free game at the time of this giveaway. Not to mention it is a brilliant game.Originally posted by: ohwellnot said:
You will only get xp when the winner gives you positive feedback. If he doesnt give you any feedback you will autimatically get positive feedback after 7 days. My understanding of the rule is that if the game has been given away for free at any point it cant be given away on this site.Originally posted by: jamesmaxwell1453 said:
Actually, from experience, I think it's 3 days.Originally posted by: Supersnaxy said:
there is a separate forum for trades.Originally posted by: jamesmaxwell1453 said:
There are many sites that function as a trading and giveaway site. It is not Indiegala's core business which is Steam Key Retailer, Publisher and Developer. There are other sources to receive and giveaway those keys and the rules implemented are to tone down exploitations. If they are to be given out on Indiegala then they should be 0 exp.

I do not do trading exactly for the reasons you had encountered, I am sorry that you had experienced so. I would recommend to Try contacting the Trader, request a replacement. Blacklist the Account or at least until replacement. If you realised is a blatant fraud. Then reply to a Thread or make a new topic of your experience with the User Profile and Trade Link in this section of the Forum to derail future scams or violations. https://www.indiegala.com/forums/13Originally posted by: jamesmaxwell1453 said:
I understand what you mean, that was my thoughts exactly especially games given out are excellent games. However, the internet is plagued by exploiters and scammers. For your game in particular, Although it was not Free when you created the giveaway, participants of https://www.omensight.com/wishlist-quest/ receive keys from the devs which are not meant for winners to profit in any form. There are better ways and sites to giveout those keys if you only wanted others to enjoy the game.Originally posted by: jamesmaxwell1453 said:
