YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I was worried until I saw that giant Trustpilot banner. Any site that needs a giant Trustpilot banner sure makes me feel confident.

(I don't trust this site)

For what it's worth- I've used them plenty and it's always appeared to be legitimate. They don't "stock" every game out there, but they do have most things and they do usually end up being 3-5% cheaper than steam unless steam is having a sale.

I’ve used them for a while too. Sometimes they’ll have weird keys super cheap. Like I was able to grab Dark Souls 3 + both DLC’s for like $16 or something way back when.

i too am skeptical of sites that use trust pilot, but i have used greenmangaming before, they dont sell stolen keys or do other shady things AFAIK. It's a decent service.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Curious, what's wrong with TrustPilot?

[–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you see a lot of scam websites use them because its easy to get away with fake reviews.

[–] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It's basically this when you see that sticker.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 2 months ago

You have to pay them to get the banner... ie. an inherent conflict of interest.

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

I've purchased 7 games from them over the years, and my friends others. No issues. Started in 2014 with my last being in 2021.

[–] warm@kbin.earth 5 points 2 months ago

GMG are legitimate.

[–] Atrichum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It was legit the last time I bought a game from them, 10 years ago
