There's this member in the Classifieds forum running a contest. Now, I thought it was against the rules, so I briefly check the Bungie.net rules and at the end it says:


- Do not use the public forums to run contests, solicit donations, barter or sell items/services, or advertise anything at all (except on-topic posts in the Classifieds forum).

Now, is that just for advertising or for everything listed above?

I think the part where it says don't run contests most nearly means that you should probably avoid running any sort of contest.

You pretty much answered your own question. It is against the rules to run competitions through the public forums on this site.
The sentence in the rules, I believe, is only indicating that advertising of Bungie.net related stuff is allowed in the Classifieds, but nowhere else.

So only advertising Bungie-related stuff is allowed? Yeah. I thought as much. I just wanted to make sure though before I warned him.

He's told me he does, you're acting like he's afraid to own up to it. Which he isn't.

Let him have fun if he wants to don't be an ass.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Yeah, you can't run a competition on Bungie.net, too much liability of it being a scam.

You could contact Deej and work something out.

What thread are you even talking about?

Also, like someone else said, its the moderators job to warn people, not yours.
