I’m not Unstable, but I’m fairly certain the answer to this is no. The Gimkit Awards are across the whole community. The forums are only a part of that. So while it might hurt your chances of winning, because it’s a big platform, you can still be nominated. Including getting banned and unbanned.
When would there ever be an appropriate time to ask an off topic question?
(Hey, spoiler, there isn’t ever a reason to do this)
Here’s another question, pretty similar, I think it shows you pretty clearly what the solution here is.
“How do people who aren’t on the forums get nominated? Are they automatically disqualified???”
I jk that off topic question not really off topic it actually on topic I just had to double check it.
the totally off topic question was that: are there any rules for GIMKIT awards regarding forum rules/not counting the forum rules, that if you break could get you disqualified or smth for GIMKIT awards?
I can’t find it or I must be looking at the wrong spot for the rules of GIMKIT awards.
Oh yeah you also never clarified about whether or not you were going to go after and disqualify all the people who had ever, intentionally or by accident, advertised somehow.
