There have been a bunch of fake giveaways lately.

Perhaps it's easier than requesting account closure?

On a serious note though, the threads I know of have been reported but nothing has been done. Is the closure of fake contest something Omni has to review or what?

I'm not sure. If the threads are being reported then I'm sure staff is seeing them.

I god damn knew it was too good to be true, that's why I entered. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, report to Omniscient directly. If the report is accurate, closed account IMMEDIATELY.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

What about a monitoring team ? Which will be operated by Omni himself. Staff will look after fishy contests and then report to Omni.

Most of the percentage of People will make fake reports to Omni just to get revenge or time waste.

We already look after (fake) contests from time to time. If you PM Omni and waste his time, he will take action, trust me on that one.

My thing is, like, I've seen the same thread for about two weeks now stay reported but nothing has been done about it. So would I report it to Omni or should I PM staff to have them tell Omni or at least review it? I don't want to waste anyones time which is the reasoning for the question.

You can PM any of us or Omni directly.

Send a Private Message to Omniscient, he'll take care of the rest.

I remember when Mentors were supposed to verify contests, I don't think that happens.

Anyway, all Fake Contests should be reported to OMNI, and he'll take strict actions.
