Giveaways

From The Wajas Wiki

A Giveaway refers to the act of giving out something of yours (such as one's own wajas, art, items, WC, CWP, etc.) for free to other users with no expectation of receiving anything in return. On wajas, there are two boards specifically devoted to giveaways, both found under the "User held contests/games" heading. These are:

  • Newbie Giveaways - This board is specifically for giving things (usually wajas) to new users for free. All of these are user run.
  • Giveaways - This board is for giveaways that anyone can participate in, not just newbies. These often take the forms of games, such as Waja Wars, Traveling Wajas, and Beauty Pageants. All of these are user run.

Rules and Guidelines For These Boards

Keep in mind that, as with all boards on the forums, all of the Forum Rules apply to these boards as well. It is also wise to read the stickies at the top of the board for more information on what is and is not allowed. These are just some specific things to remember when using these boards to avoid confusion and trouble.

  • Read the opening post of a giveaway carefully before replying. The opening post will usually have instructions and guidelines for how they want things to be done and what you will need to do to receive what they're giving out. Failure to read and understand their instructions will likely lead to you getting nothing at all.
  • DO NOT pose as a newbie/make it look like you have less wajas than you really do in order to get more stuff. This is considered scamming. When you pretend to be a newbie to receive free wajas and/or you are a newbie who moves wajas from one cave to another to continue to enjoy the benefits of free-newbie wajas, you are risking not only a warning/fine, you are also risking your account being frozen.
  • DO NOT ask for giveaways. These boards are for people to create threads stating they wish to give their own wajas/items/whatever away. There are plenty of giveaways going on at all times that every user should be able to find one without asking for one. You are not allowed to create threads asking for things for free, as this is considered begging and is against the rules.
  • DO NOT ask for "donations" or the like for your giveaway. Asking for donations is considered begging and will not be tolerated. If you want to host a giveaway, make sure that you're giving things of your own out. If you do not have the items to give away when you start the thread, then you shouldn't start it. If any threads are found asking for donations, they will locked, and repeat offenders will be warned/fined, and if it continues, further action will be taken to prevent the issue.
  • DO NOT post here attempting to sell things. These boards are for GIVE aways, not sales. Post on a sales board if you want something in return for whatever you're trying to get rid of. If people have to pay to participate, it is not a giveaway and it belongs in the Raffles or User Held Contests/Games board. If it requires tickets (even if the tickets are free), it still belongs on the Raffles board.
  • Regarding "Traveling Waja" games: If you send out a Waja to start a Traveling Waja game, please be aware the risk that the Waja may not be returned to you. Deciding to start a game like this means that you understand that there is a chance the Waja may not be returned to you and that the there is very little the Staff may be able to do to have that Waja returned.
  • Regarding "Waja Wars"/"Send up a waja"/etc. type games: As with the Traveling Waja games, when you decide to join one of these games you are making the decision to do so, knowing that it is possible that you will send a Waja to another user who will, in turn, not bother to send one on to the next person waiting. These games are played at your own risk.
