I read in the universal rules:
Account, Product, & Service Promotion
Moderators will look for the following: Advertising for product sales, trading, reward programs, or gifting of any kind Advertising of transactional services offered by individuals or companies
I'm not sure if it applies to a giveaway, promoting my stream.
Thanks!
Pinkso... please ignore my username.
zPOOPz2 votesMost likely not. You don't really see any self-promotion threads on this board....
Starscream X69X1 votesYeah, that is honestly the main reason I checked the universal rules before posting. Thank you for responding!
Chermorg2 votesGenerally speaking, we won't look too fondly on any form of "contest" or "giveaway" that is not held on the boards directly and open to all boards members (League players), and further any contest that isn't open and transparent. We simply cannot control contests held off site, and so they generally will be looked at more carefully and moderated more strictly. You're free to advertise your stream on Streams and Videos but I'd personally steer clear of advertising the giveaway if I were you - it could certainly cross the line as a rule violation.
That being said, if you'd like to discuss your specific case, I'd invite you to come to us in the Moderation Discord where we can pull you into a private room and come to an agreement with you as to if/how it would be acceptable to do so. Keep in mind the final answer may be that you can't do it, but there you can discuss in real time with us :)
Starscream X69X1 votesThank you for this very thorough response!
Being that it's a possibility, I might be interested in discussing a contest that is approved/approvable by the moderators, even if it means the contest is only open to members of these boards. Are there any specific days/times better for this?
Chermorg2 votesProbably after the New Years holiday - if this is not time sensitive I'd wait until mid evening (5-9 PM Pacific Time in the US) sometime Tuesday or later just to hopefully have as many of us around as possible.
Starscream X69X1 votesThat would be perfect. I'll hop on the server now (KellaBella) and whenever you want to meet, just send me a message. :)
