We’ve been getting messages from members asking if they can run their own raffle events on the forum.
Short answer: no. If someone unverified runs a raffle and it turns into a scam, the forum takes the hit, not just the person behind it. We’re not risking everything we’ve built over someone’s $500 lucky draw.
From now on, anyone running raffles without our approval will be permanently banned.
That said, since many of you are already keen, we’ll organise an official raffle in a few days. The mod or admin team will handle it and act as middleman to keep everything clean and fair. We are not allowed to profit from it. This is just to make things fun.
A $100 total pot means a $100 clean payout, unless there are unavoidable charges like PayPal or crypto transfer fees.
If you win and feel like tipping us that’s always welcome but completely optional.
Also we are rolling out VIP memberships. If you don’t want to join, no problem. You’ll still be able to access the forum as usual. But we’ll be adding more perks for VIP members over time.
We also want to say we appreciate the members who have been with us since the early days. The forum has grown a lot, but we won’t turn our backs on those who supported us. We’re not here to restrict access or force anyone into VIP memberships. This space has always been for the punters and it will stay that way.
Suggestions are welcome. For this thread , do not make it into a keyboard warrior brawl. I will delete you like thanos finger snap.
