[UPDATED] Player Held Contests - Rules
Player Contest Rules Clarification We’ve received feedback from Moderators and the communities on multiple Howrse games requesting clarification of the rules for player hosted contests and giveaways, specifically with offering horses as prizes. Addendum: We've reviewed the rule about offering horses as prizes and have decided to allow you to offer a horse as a prize again. Current rules We allow players to host contests and giveaways according to the following rules:
Review of rules Some players want to offer horses as prizes and would like to know if this is allowed. We reviewed contests held on each version, and we identified the following: On some versions, it has not been allowed for horses to be used as prizes; since the game does not include a tool for gifting horses. Selling a horse to a player costs them a fee to gain their prize. This falls within the Item and Pass Trafficking rules that are not allowed. As a compromise, we will allow players to offer horses as prizes so long as the cost of the horse is the minimum amount that can be set - 500e. Since this is also considered a private agreement between players, we will not support these transactions. Contests are entered at your own risk and it is up to the contest holders to deliver the promised prizes. In addition to the contest rules mentioned above, we have added the following: - You can offer a horse as a prize provided the cost does not exceed 500 Equus. - The horse offered as a prize can have Black Market items. - Contest holders can ask but not require that participants re-post their contest banners.

HellOw everyone,
The team has recently reviewed the rule about offering horses as prizes (for 500 Equus) for your player-held contests. We have decided to allow you to offer horses as prizes again. However, please remember that, while selling a horse for 500 equus is allowed in most situations, we reserve the right to sanction users who use such sales to sell horses for real money, to liquidate all horses on an account, or any other behavior that goes against Howrse’s terms of use. The topic has been amended to align with this change Thank you for your understanding in this matter! The Howrse Team

a few players have been banned over the last 12 months for buying 500e horses but only if they knew to hide it via a player held contest, got to cover it up when its a MOD thats been buying skillers at 500e right? with screenshots handed as proof

make it make sense...
are you going to unban all the player who were sanctioned previously for gifting horses for 500e? are you going to change your mind and randomly sanction players for gifting horses? can we get an official message with what's deemed sanctionable? cause I'm confused as heck. all i want to do is is play my pixel pony game in peace. thank you, go next.

So what if a player who's leaving/clearing their account sticks everything in direct sales for 500e and others auto buy picks them up?
Players have been docked for this previously. Ideally it would be helpful to everyone if there was more information provided.
