the less mass of new posters the better
[QUOTE=benbb;41298093]It's not a question of morality. There was nothing that said 'Buy gold and you'll get a RUST key'. The only thing that was said is that RUST keys are being posted on the Gold member only forums.[/QUOTE]
Then someone posted saying that you had to buy gold member and post that cat to LMAO pics. A bunch of people were then joining, paying $10 to become gold member then posting that cat to get permabanned.
So yes, it is a question of morality. He could continue to take $10 from people who were misinformed, or let people keep their $10.

Its not garry's fault that people are dumb and don't learn the rules and cultures of forums they go to.

garry doesn't owe them anything, it was their own mistake for listening to the wisecracking members of Facepunch. Garry had nothing to do with this.

OTI that's an easy choice
Take everyone's money
I have 5 years and +2000 posts, shouldn't I be gold already?
What's so good about Gold Membership anyways?

Garry changed it a while ago so that the only way to get gold is to purchase it through boostar. Apparently, not even THAT is an option now. Not sure why, but honestly, from what I've heard, it's not really even worth it anymore.
I wish I was gold :c

no you don't

You get a gold name, get to feel important and are allowed to have a bigger (and animated) avatar.
* Oh, and you get to look/post in the gold members only forum and view the Refugee Camp (I think).
Gold member is shit trust us
I think I was close, if not the last, non-boostar'd Gold Member :rock:

My guess of why it's disabled is people probably tried to get refunds through PayPal disputes when they found out Gold doesn't automatically grant them Rust access like people were telling them.

Interesting, what's special about GMF or is that a secret thing?

You're forced to sign a legal and binding NDA upon getting gold.

Almost all of these gold membership purchases are from newly joined users with little to no posts. I don't see why you'd pay $10 for a small chance to get a key for a product that's in alpha.
[QUOTE=.apex;41297911]wouldnt be surpriced if garry had to deal with hundreds of chargeback requests[/QUOTE]
Garry should ban the guys tricking the newbies into buying gold and posting cat pics.

And that's the point of a self-imposed idiot cull.

See above.

Not really, if the new users lurked for more than 5 minutes they'd realise that posting that cat is a bannable offence.
What the fuck?
I JUST 2 days ago spent $30 on gold and a name change and nothing happened aside from the name.
I swear to god if I just blew $10 on a now removed feature...
You aint gold m8

People used Boostar to get gold as recent as 4 hours ago... sounds like you have a different problem going on.
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;41298666]Not really, if the new users lurked for more than 5 minutes they'd realise that posting that cat is a bannable offence.[/QUOTE]
Only if they lurk in the LMAO threads for a hour or two.
IMO both the tricker and new user is at fault but mostly the tricker for taking advantage of ignorant new guys and causing Garry a headache so they can have a cheap laugh
What's with all the victim blaming? You can't expect the new users to know all unwritten rules within 10 minutes do you?

The last boostared gold member, and typical rustfag
Joined late June 2013, 0 posts and for some reason bought gold

Which is why they should lurk for more than 10 minutes on the forum. Actually go to different subforums and such.
It's not a difficult concept.

It's a test of gullibility. The greedy fall for it. The non-greedy don't.

And again, idiot cull. It cleans the problem up before they even become a problem.
change it to cost 50 dollars
