WELCOME!

If you got here all by yourself you probably know already that create a giveaway is to give games (give-aways) and not to receive games.
Please do not create new threads on the Discussions section to offend, beg, ask for donations, scam reports, advertise, post referral links, show your happiness, show how unhappy you are or for no reason at all, YET please stay hidden until you understand how everything works and avoid any kind of suspension or ban (yes, it happens). The mods and admins are very open-minded if there is a giveaway in a thread but don't use it as excuse to break the rules!
Remember to check the SteamGifts Bible and never go against it.
Also on the Discussions section below the "New Discussion" button there is the search box, use it to search for answers, if you create a thread there will be a lot of sarcam and you most probably won't understand.

actually you should report scammers to the sg support. afaik only two people are authorized to deal with that kind of tickets but i don't see what's wrong with doing it..

also i think it would be nice to add links to guidelines, terms of service and announcements as well.

i checked the roles again. i guess i confused it with fake -rep reports. looks like moderators are authorized to deal with scammer tickets as well. so four people currently. .-.

yup, Rinarin and cg. but looks like moderators, bobofatt and Lorkhan, have the permission to suspend scammers (clicky) so i assumed there are four people to deal with scammers. but -rep tickets are handled by Rinarin and cg (or just by Rinarin), that's for sure.

i think we have a communication problem here. sg support is not for just sg problems. it's also for trades section. yes, it'll take time but where am i supposed to report them if i can't report to the support? :D

almost. if you'll fix some little mistakes like "don't" instead of "dont" and of course the title (should be either "Are you new to SteamGifts?" or "Are You New to SteamGifts?"), it looks about right. :P

You forgot to explain the most noob question here:

When you create a GA you are using your money to buy a game and then give it to the winner, you are not expecting someone to give you the game of the GA.

You mean to tell me I have been doing this all wrong all along!

You mean when I won that 100,000 game giveaway, I should have won all 100,000 keys!
