UPDATE: News! - Daily Login SB Points reward is back!
I guess it's right to give a full explanation of the issue in detail, so that everyone is informed about it and understand the reasons behind my decision.
What we noticed was that the average usage of our SB Points system was the following:
• Create one (or many) account(s)
• Grab the YouTube Contest reward
• Grab Daily Login SB Points rewards
• Immediately have 2030 SB Points on hand
• Spend all 2030 SB Points to download apps and then keep doing login every day just to grab 30 more SB Points
SB Points system was introduced with the goal of making you guys and girls realize we're a community, and not like others, just a download site. What this means is that, as community, we should help each other, and this is the reason we offer many rewards for doing simple actions on our community, all explained here: How to get SB Points.
I often was said by most users they can't do it, it's too hard, they're not able to do so, but seriously guys? If you're saying you can't do something as simple as telling the community what you think about a game by making a simple review (for example), or you can't share an eBook or even record a gameplay of a mod you downloaded and post it on YouTube, I guess the only reason behind this is that you're lazy and you're willing to do absolutely nothing to our community. While most of us here work hard every day to bring you all new and exclusive content, in exchange we found out the majority of our community is made of people who just come here to download something and then leave. But again, this is a community, and not a downloading site.
I was forced to make this change, after discovering over 35 thousand of users were literally abusing our SB Points system with the "trick" above, and it was so devasting to find out how many leechers or lazy people live on our forum that an immediate change was needed. Keep in mind double accounts are still prohibited, and from now on we'll make more severe checks to every account, and proceed with terminating those who infringed our rules.
I understand the frustration behind those who never even attempted to make something like that, because they respect and truly appreciate what we do, but on the other side, I'm sure most of the people who complained about it are those who abused our kindness and good will by gifting SB Points every day for their wellness.
Now, talking about what's next, I plan to reintroduce the daily login, but this time it will be something available only to contributors (users who actively help our community, even with simple actions, to show us they're an active and helpful part of our forum). At the same time, I plan to reintroduce the YouTube contest (or even start more giveaways), but this time only those who effectively deserve it will receive the prizes.
Furthermore, we plan to introduce a long awaited feature asked by many users: getting SB Points by either watching a video ad or similar, but all this will be strictly checked in order to make sure something similar to what happened recently occurs again.
If we'll find out users will keep trying to cheat on us, we'll be forced to adopt measures to prevent it again, so my last advice I can give to you all is to be fair and don't cheat on us, or we'll be forced to counter-attack.
