yes spam can get you banned, and the Mods are already annoyed by the spam so tread carefully

people will do anything for that 1080ti lol. At least post something that is related.

I love that EVGA now fully encourages Spam. It’s fantastic.

At least they are attempting to contain it to one crap post instead of all of the forums being filled with crap posts.

“It’s a special circumstance”...

At least a reasonably priced 1080ti.  Miners are less likely to jump through hoops for one.

EVGA has always encouraged spam on here.  Do you remember how the computer industry news section was always spammed with just url's in the topics? For the longest time evga didn't want to make any posting guidelines, because they were afraid it would make members not post anything.
 
It would be a miracle, if someone could get evga to understand there is a difference between posting articles that interest you and posting just about every new article that you find on your favorite tech news website. That would require someone who honestly cares and wants to improve things.
 
EVGA brought all the spam on themselves by making 100 post count requirement for elite status.

I just want a card to play my games again. Been so sad since my card burnt out. ; ;

I can't even imagine being an actual gamer (like most of us here) who just want to buy a videocard to play actual games with it.  If my video cards crapped out today, I think it would be difficult finding a replacement.  Thankfully EVGA has a good warranty.  

heaven forbid we ask for helpfull, usefull or something fun to be posted....

didnt you guys notice that sticky thread that promotes spam?  
 

 
 

We are trying to save the integrity of the Forums and give a specific place for the lower value posts by those who must make 100 posts in an hour because they think that EVGA is hording Elite GPUs in a secret back room 
 
All they need to do is purchase and register two qualifying EVGA products; no posting required

Unfortunately it isn't always that easy. For example, I have all my parts save for my graphics card so there's no point in buying two other products to register them if I either don't need or can't use them.

If my 1080 Ti straight-up died today, I would be very sad. Might even cry depending on how long I'd have to go without it... that thing is as precious as game-playing gold to me at this point. Just prepping for the eventuality of needing to upgrade and maximizing my chances of being able to buy a card when needed with the EVGA elite thing.
 
Lesson learned, never sell the previous card... and I don't mean that just because 980 Tis are selling for far more than I sold mine for some months ago.
 
 

so it's like:
rule 1: don't spam
rule 2: if you are going to break rule 1, please do it in approved spam channels
 
Kind of confusing.

I'm thinking that the post count requirement should be removed as soon as possible, but I'm sure changes to the elite program have to go through some degree of red tape to happen no doubt.
 
I can kind of understand the idea of "if it cannot be destroyed, it must at least be contained" but not sure if that's the best/only possible option at this point.
 
though I'm sure mods and admins are arguing over the post count spam and how to address it in a mod/admin only forum that I assume exist, as well as whatever other systems they have going related to that.
 
Regardless I'm thinking that its at the point where most us just have to wait and see what will happen/how things will go now.

Done

When I bought my 2 EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrids in 2017 - same issue 1 per household - bought the second one on Newegg actually cost much less in shipping - so save some $ there
 
I would hope that a reset 3m/ 6m or whatever would happen for people to buy a second card
 
Till then   https://www.evga.com/products/wheretobuy.aspx
 
Folding for Team EVGA --> 9 GPU strong & six of those are EVGA cards --> they don't make Titans Xp or it would have been 9 of 9
 

Thank you & Welcome to the EVGA Forums Family
 
I believe most never meant to insinuate all new members are single minded (must hit 100 posts fast as possible - regardless of how) 
 
Seems to me to be the typical < 10% of the people cause 80% of the need for a reminder to follow the rules (TOS)
 
Hope you are learning, sharing and enjoying your EVGA forums experience
