Hi, our Gift Tracker app suddenly stopped working so please hold off on posting your gift confirmations until we solve this. Follow this post for updates if needed.

Thank you for your patience,

Arthy

#Update

It's gonna take a while until a fix comes out so we'll just have to go back to manually putting and taking users on and off cooldown.

Make your gift confirmation posts as usual!

If you are supposed to go off cooldown today, send us a ModMail and we'll take you off.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

#Update II

All is back to normal! It was because of the Reddit servers in which the app operates, they were down for a while but they're back now. Let me know if your gift history is still saved or if it completely reset. 🥲

What I'm about to share with you all aren't actual Community Rules but more like unspoken truths that could genuinely impact your chances of being gifted here, for the best or for the worst, without you even knowing.

I wanna start off by saying that, as you may already know, there aren't as many people gifting as there are people requesting, and we're going through specially hard times – not just in real life but also within Fortnite as well – so don't expect to be gifted right away. Give it your best and keep trying! Be positive in the community and help other people as well.

#The Unwritten Rules of FNGifting

##Making requests without an item in mind

I'm referring to posts where OP will say "just gift me anything". I've seen quite a few posts like these where users got a new account and wanna fill it with stuff and even state it like that on their posts. Or they don't know what to request and are just trying their luck at free items anyway.

It is already a very lucky thing to receive a real offer for an item you really like and wish to have, so imagine how lucky you'd have to be for a gifter to go "sure, I'll gift this stranger just about anything".

This just decreases your chances of being gifted immediately.

Our gifters are lurking the sub for potential creative posts or genuine people where they think it is worth making that person happy with their money. They're not making it rain over here without context. 😅

So definitely only make a request if there's an item you really really like!

##Stating you have no skins, but not providing proof

When making this statement on your request, you have to provide proof with a screenshot of your locker with the filters showing you have no skins archived. Otherwise people will just think you're being dishonest to improve your changes of being gifted.

I have left a few comments telling the OP exactly this and I've been ignored, which only reinforces the idea that you might be trying to mislead people. Don't do that!

##Picking bundles instead of a single item

While you are allowed to pick bundles as long as they are valued 2.5k v-bucks or less, you are less likely to be gifted the bundle than if you were asking for just a single item.

Often times people will say "I'd like this bundle but just the skin would be fine". And I get the mentality behind that but I feel like you're shooting yourself in the foot with that one.

There's been so many times where I've seen gifters gifting the whole bundle to someone who only asked for the skin and I don't remember ever seeing someone only gift the skin when originally the whole bundle was requested.

Doesn't mean it can't happen, it's just less likely to happen. Gifters appreciate people who seem humble.

It just seems like you could just be asking for one thing but you wanna shoot higher at the chance you'll be gifted it all. The "all or nothing" mentality isn't that helpful in this situation.

##Not saying please or thank you

This is gonna be a short one. If you're requesting something and you don't say please or thank you, prepare yourself to be ignored and even downvoted by some. It takes zero time or effort to be nice!

##Being upset at downvotes

I get it, you put some effort into your post and now you're being downvoted for no reason!?

You gotta remember: this is Reddit, people will click on a button just because it is there. They will specially do it if they know you care, just to upset you!

As a mod, I get downvoted daily, even when I'm just helping people out or even just leaving the same pre-written messages for gifted members.

People are petty and they will downvote you just to try and spread negativity. Don't let it affect you. You can comment on it to try and get some upvotes back (I've seen that work), but don't let it discourage you, that's what they want!!

##Boosting (what is this!?)

If you have been a member for 1 day, you may have already noticed some people leave comments saying "boosting".

This trend was started by our members, as a way to boost other member's posts to increase the chance of a gifter seeing it.

So if you see someone leaving "boosting" in your Request, they are trying to help you by engaging with your post!

It's sweet to see people trying to help others in this way. I also encourage everyone to boost each other's posts by making questions or commenting on something they see in the post in a positive way!

While saying "boosting" helps, it's a bit of a closed interaction, while a question or a comment could generate more interactions from it, which could boost the post even more.

You're welcome to do whatever you prefer, though! We enjoy seeing you interacting positively with each other and the "boosting" trend is a harmless and positive interaction. Whoever started it, you're the GOAT!

Well, I think this is all I can remember for now!

If you have been a member on r/FNGifting for a while and wanna give new members advice on their requests, feel free to do so in the comments! Just remember to keep it respectful. 🫶🏻

And if my fellow mods wanna add to what I said or give a different opinion, please do! The post was written exclusively with my point of view and opinions in mind, so there is a chance other mods might share slightly different opinions and that is okay too! Feel free to share them!

Kind regards,

Arthy, best of luck to you all 🍀🤞🏻

##u/Swung-On-YoMama is attempting to steal our members accounts by trying to convince them to buy Fortnite items with their credit card. ‼️

This user is using this tactic to try and steal people's FN Accounts. His plan is to make you buy something with his credit card info and then he will be reaching out to Epic and pretending it's his account to try and "recover" it.

>If he dm'ed you, please report him to Reddit and block him! Do not buy anything with his credit card information or your account will be essentially lost to him.

>NEVER believe people who are trying to gift you in odd ways. All someone needs to gift you is your username and your username alone.

^(If you need help reporting him, message moderators and we'll help you.)
